Qualcomm's current smartwatch processor, the Snapdragon 2100, is now over two years old. It's time for a successor to come to our smart companion. The company today introduced a successor, now called the Snapdragon Wear 3100. It can do that.

Much more battery life

The focus of the event was on the processor's new power-saving measures. Watches with the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 installed should run up to 14 hours longer than smartwatches powered by a Snapdragon Wear 2100. This is said to be possible thanks to the coprocessor, which takes on light tasks, is not as powerful and therefore uses less battery. There are also three different operating modes. Different amounts of battery are used depending on the mode. For example: In sports mode, you can use GPS, heart rate sensors, etc. for up to 15 hours. In normal smartwatch operation with all the functions that Wear OS has to offer, the battery life should be a maximum of two and a half days.

Delivery to manufacturer soon

The Snapdragon Wear 3100 is already being made by Qualcomm proso that it can be delivered to smartwatch manufacturers in the near future. The new SoC will then probably be used first in models from Fossil, Louis Vuitton and Mont Blanc. The latter company has even already presented a smartwatch in which the processor has already been installed. However, it is not yet clear when this watch will come onto the market.
