OPPO is gearing up to launch its next-generation OPPO Watch 3 series wearable devices sometime later this month. As the name indicates, the smartwatch will be a successor to the OPPO Watch 2 launched last year.
Now, ahead of the official launch, the company has shared a teaser poster for the OPPO Watch 3 series, which confirms the chipset that will power the upcoming smartwatches.
The teaser poster confirms that the OPPO Watch 3 series will come powered by the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 wearable platform. This makes it the first smartwatch to be powered by this new chipset.
A few days ago, Qualcomm announced its all-new Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and W5+ Gen 1 processors built using the 4nm process. The chips, made especially for wearable devices, offer 2x power using half the power compared to their predecessor.
OPPO has not revealed the launch date for the upcoming smartwatches, nor has it revealed much about the devices’ specifications and features. But we expect to know more through teasers and leaks in the coming days.
If the reports are to be believed, then the OPPO Watch 3 series will have three models in the lineup and feature a high screen-to-body ratio and support for eSIM functionality. They will be running ColorOS Watch operating system.
Apart from OPPO, TicWatch has also confirmed that its upcoming flagship smartwatch models will come powered by the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor. The company is expected to launch TicWatch 4 Pro, the first device with W5+ chip, in the coming weeks.
