Qualcomm plans to launch new chip platform for Wear OS smart watch - part 1

In February 2016, Qualcomm released the Snapdragon Wear 2100 SoC for wearable devices. But two years later, the Android Wear (later named Wear OS) market performance has been unsatisfactory. Fortunately, in a recent interview with Wearable media, Pankaj Kedia, Qualcomm's senior wearable director, disclosed, The company has already realized this problem and will release upgraded chips for flagship smart watches this year with multiple partners. Wear OS wearable devices based on new chips will also be introduced during the holiday season."

Kedia said that the third-generation processors will "create an uncompromising smart watch experience from scratch," and are said to make smart watches have better battery life. In addition, Qualcomm is clearly designing chips that will make the always-on display even more energy-efficient. He said, a smart watch, must first do the job of the watch. When I do not look at it, it should not be black and white or still. We had conversations with consumers of Fossil and Michael Kors who did not want to compromise on smart watches. Although Qualcomm is not yet ready to disclose its specifications, Kedia claims that the new hardware platform will significantly change the Wear OS ecosystem.

Google upgraded the user experience
At the same time, recently, the upgraded version of Google Assistant has been pushed for Wear OS on a global scale, a number of intelligent functions have been adapted, and the overall operating experience is even close to the Android mobile phone.

The upgraded version of Google Assistant supports the Smart Responses feature, which can provide smart responses based on various elements, and can even conduct follow-up question and answer exchanges based on context of communication. For example, when you ask for weather problems, you can get weather information, and then you can click on the recommendation to see the weather this weekend. However, the current experience is not good, and the function needs to be further improved.
