Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset for smartwatches with improved battery life

10 September 2018
Its CPU architecture still hasn't been updated from Cortex-A7, however.

I've been really looking forward to this, but I'm seriously disappointed. I thought they would stall any announcements to focus on bringing great new technology after not seeing any SoCs for such long time, but this is just a huge disappointment.

    AnonD-558092, 10 Sep 2018I wanted 10nm A35/A55 cores. Guess the Exynos 9110 might be... moreSame here! Literally taken out the words out of my mouth

      Wait, so Samsung launched a watch that last 2 to 3 days in regular mode and 7 or more days in just watch mode in a 14nm chipset with a 450 mah battery. And Qualcom comes up with this 24 nm junk, come on. Also Huawei should made a wearable chip since they manufacture the first 7nm chipset (kirin 980), I would say it might double the samsumg dayly endurance.

        No wonder why Wear OS is no competitive at all.

          3100=2100, 10 Sep 2018The tech specs of the 3100 are the same as of 2100. It s... moreBut she's got a new hat!


          The power management controller is new, everything else dont. I cant understand why not choose a model number more close to the 2100.

              I wanted 10nm A35/A55 cores. Guess the Exynos 9110 might be the best wearable SoC and would love to see OEMs adopt it.

                And is it manufactured using the same old 28nm silicon process.

                  It seems that its just a publicity stunt!

                  Just a new name, for a very old SoC! Maybe with firmware optimizations, but that's all.
