Qualcomm earlier announced that it will launch a new generation of Snapdragon Wear platform, which may be the rumored Snapdragon Wear 5100 series processor, but it is also possible to re-adjust the naming method of Snapdragon Wear series processors in response to the naming method of new mobile phone processors.
As for the first wearable device to use this processor, it may be adopted by Fossil’s expected new smartwatch, or by Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 5 series that will be launched next, or it may be used in Google’s Pixel, which is expected to be launched in the fall. Watch.
The details of the new Snapdragon Wear processor have not yet been confirmed, but it is expected to correspond to higher computing performance and a lower power consumption design, thereby allowing wearable devices to last longer battery life.

Prior to this, it was reported that the new Snapdragon Wear processor will be built on Samsung’s 4nm process. It is expected to launch two designs of Snapdragon Wear 5100 and Snapdragon Wear 5100+, of which Snapdragon Wear 5100 will be designed in the form of MLP (micro lead frame package). , will make the power management IC operate independently of the SoC design, while the Snapdragon Wear 5100+ will be designed in MEP (Mold Embedded Package) form, which will integrate the power management IC into the SoC.
Both processors are equipped with 4 sets of Arm Cortex-A53 CPUs with an operating clock of 1.7GHz and an Adreno 702 GPU with an operating clock of 700MHz, and support LPDDR4X memory and eMMC 5.1 storage components. ISP for processing two sets of lens sensors and 1080P video recording.
In addition to the difference in the package design of the two processors, and whether the power management IC is designed independently, it also includes an additional set of QCC5100 co-processors in the Snapdragon Wear 5100+, which will be responsible for controlling the Bluetooth connection and dynamic sensing element data processing. , and general usage requirements such as push messages, the Snapdragon Wear 5100+ CPU, GPU and other computing elements will only be used when a large amount of computing is required.
