While the popularity of the Apple Watch and other affordable fitness bands has steadily been on the rise over the past year, your Wear OS smartwatches have completely been wiped off the map. Google has been trying hard to save its smartwatch platform but in vain, with aging hardware concerns at the top of the list. Well, Wear OS could soon be getting a major boost with more powerful and energy efficient Snapdragon Wear chips launching soon.
The support for Bluetooth 5.0 and LTE will add to the power savings and make the new platforms more attractive. The “Track 3” feature, which will possibly help measure steps and other activities, have also been spotted aboard the Snapdragon Wear chipsets. The said platforms are currently under development and there’s no timeline for when they’ll make their way into commercial Wear OS smartwatches.
