Meizu will be announcing the Meizu Watch will be launching on May 31 in China. Ahead of the launch, the Chinese manufacturer has confirmed some of its key specs and features. Today, the company confirmed that the battery and charging capabilities of the smartwatch.
According to Meizu, the Meizu Watch will deliver all-day performance by charging it for only 15 minutes. This indicates that a fully charged Meizu Watch would be able to last for several days. The Chinese manufacturer is yet to confirm the battery size of the smartwatch.
Usually, the charging base of most smartwatches comes with a wire attached, which makes it harder to carry. Meizu confirmed that the charging base of the Meizu Watch is separated from its charging wire. This means that users simply need to carry the charging cradle and connect any USB-C charge to it and charge the watch.
Meizu recently confirmed that the Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset, the latest wearable chip from Qualcomm, will power the Meizu Watch. With support for e-SIM, it can work as a standalone device for making voice calls. The inclusion of e-SIM also means that it will carry support for LTE connectivity.
The appearance of the Meizu Watch seems to be inspired by the Apple Watch. It has a square-shaped display with curved edges and round corners. A recent rumor claimed that it will be running on Meizu’s Flyme OS for smartwatches, which will allow users to install third-party apps.
The Meizu Watch is expected to offer users health and fitness-focused features. It is unclear whether the wearable device is equipped with an NFC chip for making contactless payments. The Meizu Watch is now up for reservations through Meizu Mall and JD.com in China. At present, there is no word on the pricing of the device.
