Alleged renders of the yet-to-be-released Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 have surfaced. The moniker of the smartwatch indicates that Mobvoi is skipping one step in the evolution of the TickWatch Pro series. The smartwatch will be powered by a new Qualcomm chipset, the renders indicate.
Mobvoi was among the first brands to confirm that it will utilize the latest lineup of Qualcomm chips for wearables. The new lineup was announced last July and the new TicWatch Pro 5 will come with this chip. There are no official names yet for the smartwatch but a leaker Kuba Wojciechowski has hinted at the Pro 5 name.
The TicWatch Pro 5 render shows a new watch face design with a single crown, unlike previous iterations. It has a rotating dial and a flush button above it. The new watch however retains other design aspects of the previous TicWatch Pro models. It has a custom texture around the bezel and the watch band is made of hard silicone as with previous Mobvoi offerings.
The tipster hints that Mobvoi could be close to the release of the new smartwatch to the public. While there are no official details from Mobvoi yet, the TicWatch Pro 5 is expected to be a big hit. A few smartwatches have already launched with the Snapdragon W5+ which is built from the 4nm process. The Snapdragon W5+ is more efficient in power management than older chips and yields up to 50% battery performance. It is also 30% smaller than the Snapdragon Wear 4100+.
The full specs, pricing, and availability information for the upcoming Mobvoi smartwatch could be released later this year. The Wear OS 3 support also puts the TicWatch Pro 5 on a higher pedestal, as it will be one of the earliest devices to run on the new system.
