I'm looking forward to it all at once!

Speaking of smart watches, Apple Watch. The appearance of smart watches for Android users that can compete with Apple Watch, which has gained such stable support and reputation, is highly expected. Samsung's Galaxy Watch series has been doing well as a rival for a long time, but in the unique ecosystem of Tizen OS, there were many users who said that the apps were not complete and attractive. Then?

Sam Mobile is leaking about the processor that will be installed in the next-generation Galaxy Watch series, which will be reborn with Google's Wear OS. What a new processor called "Exynos W920" that matches the reborn model has appeared. In addition to the 1.25 times faster performance of the "Exynos 9110" that has been used in the Galaxy Watch series for a long time, it is said that the graphics performance will be improved by 8.8 times by installing 1.5 GB of RAM.

ワクワクしてきた! Wear OSで生まれ変わるGalaxy Watch、プロセッサに期待大

In the first place, smart watches equipped with Wear OS did not work well because of the problem of the Snapdragon Wear chipset provided by Qualcomm in terms of hardware in addition to the software side of Google. Anyway, with Wear OS, the chipsets that can be used are old and outdated. For example, the new "Snapdragon Wear 3100" that was introduced in 2018 is a symbolic existence, and it was based on the 28nm process at the time of 2011. Now, no matter how much you try to bring a smartwatch full of innovative new technologies to Android users, you shouldn't keep up, right?

Currently, "Snapdragon Wear 4100" is offered for Wear OS by 12nm process, but the only smart watches that adopted it are "TicWatch Pro 3" and "TicWatch Pro 3 LTE" made by Mobvoi. Meanwhile, Samsung has already mass-produced 10nm process Exynos chips, and the new Exynos W920 is already rumored to be a 5nm process. The leak was that the Exynos W920 will be available in the new series of Galaxy Watches that will be using Wear OS for the first time, but if the Exynos W920 is now widely available for Wear OS smartwatches from other manufacturers. Then, isn't this a game changer as a processor for smart watches?

Such expectations have greatly increased. Ah, in other words, even though there was an opinion that it might end up in a modest update, no, it seems that a new Galaxy Watch will be released, which I'm looking forward to. From now on, not only the Galaxy Watch series, but also from various manufacturers, it would be nice to have a series of powerful and wonderful smart watches.
