Leonidas, 22 Jul 2022So uninspiring, a 4nm refresh of 4100 and 4100+. Atleast pu... moreCortex A510 is much stronger then A55, but it's not that efficient and small device like smartwatches really need efficiency cores as they're small and they have a limit in battery size.
Btw.. Why do you think Qualcomm introduced the latest Snapdragon with only 3x Cortex A510 instead of 4x like it used to? Because A510 is not a so great successor to A55. Sure, A510 is much stronger and perfomance wise is close to A73, but...
Anyways..
Cheers!

K, 20 Jul 2022That is why google is developing fuchsia OS.Maybe... Someday... Some decades later... Or never lol. That system is only a test platform for Wear OS. So you can sit and wait while you get old.
Still to be tested the Wear OS with W5+ battery life... Samsung 7 nm only last one day unless you start to put turn off things and use safe modes... Idem for Apple Watch 7. So wait and see the results. Of course, it should be better than with 4100+ But looking into Galaxy Watch 4 you can't expect a lot more unless Samsung Bloatware is making it really bad. So maybe Wear OS 3.0 is even more power hungry that the 2.0 version due to have more tracking opcions active to... yes make more money tracking you.

Is there any smart watch out there that support dual SIM calls? One of the reasons I did not buy a smart watch yet the lack of dual eSIM support so I cannot receive all my calls on the watch if I leave my dual SIM phone at home.

Why not just get smartband that will last you week or two?
Like if you use smartwatch/smart band as it supposed to work(notifications, health/sport monitor + other basic functions like stoper etc) what is the point of spending more money on it and then turn rest of those useless features off?

JJKang, 20 Jul 2022to make 1nm or less It would take 3-5 years.Wear os will be ready for everyone once it reaches at least 1 week battery life. It means we shall wait for 3-5 years.

16 hours a day average use (wear at night, turn off after work until bedtime). I can't EVER see an apple watch getting anywhere near that range!

Also, M55+U55 are optimized for A55.

Samsung has delivered double battery life compared to anything Apple has sold since the first smartwatch out there. I get two days on my GW4C with all the bells and whistles enabled. Try that on something from Apple and you're scrambling for a charger before tea time on day one.
Enough of this brainwash nonsense that Apple is some sort of standard, thank you very much.
