Low power consumption+high performance! Qualcomm updates its wearable technology through the new platform

Qualcomm has updated its wearable platform products this week, and launched two new platforms designed to provide “ultra -low power consumption” and high performance, designed to extend the life of the equipment and provide a better experience for end users.

The new platform appears in an interesting and uncertainty on the wearable intelligent device market. Although many research companies have only seen the strong and long -term growth of the market, the research company IDC pointed out last month that the global wearable device market of the global wearable device tracker in the global wearable device market in the first quarter of 2022 actually declined. The unit shipment decreased by 3%year -on -year to 105.3 billion units.

According to IDC, this seems to be another high -tech market segment that flourish during the popular period. As consumers spend money elsewhere, it has begun to cool down. Amazon entered the market with its wearable device focusing on Halo’s health, which also caused things to change tremendous. Consumers may also become smarter and more research on equipment that choose to design around their specific needs, and this is part of Qualcomm’s hope to achieve.

Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 is a new member of the company’s wearable device platform. The new features will help wearable device manufacturers to broaden their product series and achieve the realization of battery life, application and diversified user experience. Product differentiation, Qualcomm said. For example, the advancement of low power consumption has also been transformed into new functions of equipment, such as dormant or deep sleep mode.

Pankaj Kedia, a senior director and smart wearable device, said: “The wearable device industry has continued to grow, and the unprecedented speed has shown opportunities in multiple market segments. The new wearable platform -Snapdragon W5+ and the Snapdragon W5+ and Snapdragon W5 -it represents our most advanced leap so far. ”

The W5+ platform is constructed based on a hybrid architecture. This architecture uses 4nm -based film system and a highly integrated online associate processor based on 22nm. Compared with Qualcomm’s previous generation technology, its power consumption has been reduced by 50%, the performance has been doubled, the function is 2 times, and the volume is reduced by 30%. In addition to the low power consumption state mentioned above, it also supports low-power islands of the new ultra-low-power Bluetooth 5.3 architecture, Wi-Fi, GNSS and audio.

These new features may help to enhance the reputation of Qualcomm in the wearable device market. Although it is hard to determine it as a kind of IoT startup, it is still often regarded as more focused on traditional mobile chips, rather than it can be used for being available for available. Wearing device Wear platform chip.

Google is the main partner of Qualcomm in the wearable market and expressed its recognition of the new platform.

“Google and Qualcomm have a long history in helping our partners with excellent user experience. We have expressed their appreciation for the technical breakthroughs brought by the Snapdragon W5+ platform by launching the Snapdragon W5+ platform by launching the Snapdragon W5+ platform.” Senior director Bjorn Kilburn said. “With the Snapdragon W5+ platform, we are glad to bring higher levels of performance, functions and battery life to Wear OS smart watches.”

Kedia also said that Qualcomm has developed cooperation with Chinese wearable equipment company OPPO and go out to develop new products based on new platforms.

“The release of the latest Snapdragon W5 wearable platform will raise intelligent wearable technology to a new level,” said Li Fo Long, Deputy President of OPPO and CEO of the Internet of Things business. “OPPO has a close cooperation with Qualcomm Technologies for a long time to jointly create a new possibility of product innovation. The OPPO WATCH 3 series will be launched in August. As the first smart watch equipped with the Snapdragon W5 wearable platform, it will satisfy us with better performance. User.”
