At the moment, smartwatches have many problems that are noted by both reviewers and ordinary owners. Perhaps the main drawbacks of these gadgets (at least those running on Google’s Wear OS) are rather low autonomy and performance – the watch freezes and runs out quickly. The new processors from Qualcomm seem to solve these problems: Snapdragon W5 and W5 + (both Gen 1) are much more powerful and economical than their predecessors.
Unlike Snapdradon Wear 4100+, the new products are built on a modern 4 nm process technology (against 12 nm). According to official statements, the Snapdragon W5+ is up to two times faster than its predecessor, being 30% smaller and up to 50% more economical. Qualcomm has worked closely with Google to optimize Wear OS for its new models.
Snapdragon W5 and W5 + chipsets differ from each other in that the younger model lacks a separate 22-nanometer processor for Always-On (constant time display even on the locked screen). However, this coprocessor takes on other functions, including speech processing, notifications, as well as support for modern wireless technologies.
It is assumed that the base Snapdragon W5 will be installed in specialized smart watches: for children, the elderly, health trackers, gadgets for corporate clients and the like.
As for the older model W5 +, it received four Cortex-A53 cores and one economical Cortex-M55 core (frequency is only 250 MHz). Graphics have improved a lot: A702 with 1 GHz versus A504 with 320 MHz of its predecessor.
