They can come up even with a 1nm CPU, it will still not make a huge difference. But I guess it will never change. Sammy should have used Tizen OS not this crap. But they want to be on the good side of Uncle Sam.

It's a good step in the right direction. The smaller size could allow for more sensors or a larger battery. If Fitbit use this then you could get 10+ days of life which I think would satisfy most people. I'd say 2 weeks is the sweet spot.

Sounds promising. Anyone know if Mobvoi has a trade-in program for their TicWatches? I like my 3 Pro but it does feel sluggish at times and not sure if Wear OS 3 will fix that.

That naming makes no sense at all and it's already confusing. Imagine later generations ..

Stock Android, 19 Jul 2022Qualcomm needs to come up with a good naming system. Totally agree, should've named them PizzaTobey+ instead

Hopefully Galaxy Watch 6 will use this processor, and be able to survive for at least 3 days.

One would think that "can provide up to 50% longer battery life" after previous -50% after previous -50% after previous -50% etc.. - would be enough for the same battery to last at least a MONTH! But not, you will have to charge it once or twice a week!

Main issue is not the chipset, it's Google's lack of interest to make WearOS less crappy... Also, how many updates have WearOS users got? One and then Google dumped them? Meanwhile Apple Watch users get at least 3 years of major updates and while battery life is so-so, the experience is still amazing. I never see anyone really excited or happy with WearOS watch.

Hopefully now WearOS watches can compete well with those iwatches!
I hope to see at least 2 days battery life with moderate use!
