<\/p>\nThe co-processor has been enhanced in other ways, like an improved 16-bit color range, which can now display up to 64,000 unique tones up from just 16 on the Wear 3100 series. This enables the ambient mode to show more expressive features. An ambient battery indicator will also help you know when you need to charge your watch.<\/p>\n
Wear 4100 vs 4100 Plus: What’s the difference?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
The biggest difference between the 4100 and 4100 Plus platforms is the presence of the co-processor. Customers who opt for the 4100 will still see the performance benefits from the die shrink and components improvements, but the lack of a co-processor will make ambient mode less than ideal.<\/p>\n
The 4100 will probably be priced a decent amount less than the 4100 Plus, but considering the improvements the co-processor brings, it’s likely most ODMs will reach for the 4100 Plus more often than not. Qualcomm says customers may choose the 4100 over the 4100 Plus if they are making simpler watches for kids or seniors, or if they want to use their own co-processor.<\/p>\n
When will we start seeing devices?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
So far, two ODMs have committed to using Qualcomm’s new platform. Mobvoi will it for a new TicWatch<\/a>, the TicWatch Pro 3, and Xiaotiancai, a BBK<\/a> brand, will use the platform for a new kids smartwatch which takes advantage of the new second ISP to offer two cameras. The new TicWatch will be launching by the end of the year, and the Xiaotiancai Z6 will release within 30 days.<\/p>\n Considering the massive leap in performance and the improved battery life, we’re hoping to see a number of new devices with the new platform soon.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> David Imel<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

You may not have noticed, but smartwatches are finally becoming commonplace. The question being asked has shifted from “Should I get a smartwatch?” to “Which smartwatch should I get?”. Devices like the Apple Watch have made a wearable computer a luxury item and luxury watch companies are now making wearable computers. In fact, it’s become difficult to … Continue reading Qualcomm’s new wearable chipsets promise performance, battery improvements<\/span><\/a> Continue Reading
