Qualcomm is pushing Smartwatch With the launch of the SNAPDRAGON W5 GEN 2 platform, in a new area. These are the first garments A chipset that supports satellite connections allows users to send and receive SOS messages when they are out of the cell and Wi-Fi range.
Upgrades are not about safety. Qualcomm Thanks to the new location machine learning 3.0, GPS accuracy has been improved by up to 50 %, which helps to track the crowds of cities or deep canyons in which the signal is generally difficult.
The new chip is built in the 4nm process with an optimized RF front end. QualComm also claims that the chipset provides a 20 % lower power use than the first -generation W5. In other words, thinner clocks, battery life longer and improved performance.
SnapDragon W5 Gen 2 is available in two versions. There are two versions of W5+ Gen 2 with low -power joint processors and two versions without standard W5 Gen 2. Both support the latest Bluetooth 5.3 standards and are compatible with Google’s latest Wear OS release.
The Pixel Watch 4 of Google, released on the same day, is one of the first devices using a new platform and shows how fast these chips are entering into the consumer device. We must wait because we are not sure which other smart watch will use this new chipset.
