Improvements in mobile phones seem to have stopped somewhat in recent years. We are already seeing significant innovations in features or design. However, a change is observed in smartwatches in the latest versions that are beginning to significantly improve autonomy.
One of the latest smartwatches that has made this possible is the OnePlus Watch 2, a smartwatch that included Google’s new dual-processor system to increase battery life up to four days. That’s how important the chipset that controls this type of device is.
At Samsung, they know this well, because they are one of the few companies in the world that continues to develop and manufacture processors, along with TSMC. The company’s latest launch in this sector is the new Exynos W1000a processor designed for wearables that will most likely debut with the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 that will be unveiled next week along with Samsung’s foldables and possibly the company’s first smart ring.
This processor is one of the few on the market to be manufactured with the 3nm architecturethe most powerful currently, while waiting to see the first 1nm processors. It is a five-core chip, with a Cortex-A78 at 1.6 GHz and four Cortex-A55 at 1.5 GHz. Its graphics processor, a Mali-G68 GPU, is capable of handling screens up to 640 x 640 pixels, a huge resolution for something. that is worn on the wrist. In addition, it is capable of playing FHD videos at 60 fps.
The maximum internal storage supported is 32GB, doubling the capacity of previous processors. Where it stands out is in the application opening speedalmost 3 times faster than other models, in addition to efficiency, spending less than its predecessors. The RAM, up to 16 GB, is now LPDDR5, which also saves battery.
It has connectivity LTE, Wifi 6n and Bluetooth 6also integrating GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo location systems. The manufacturing system reduces the final result while dissipating heat better. This can improve the design of watches, which could be thinner, or integrate more battery without needing to be thicker.
