This period for smartwatches is a very fertile and flourishing period, so among the news in the sector, Mobvoi could not miss that just a few hours ago made its new TicWatch Pro 3 official, which already holds a small personal record. In fact, the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 is the first Wear OS smartwatch with Qualcomm's new wearable hardware platform, or the Snapdragon Wear 4100 launched last June, produced with 12 nm FinFET process, while the graphics component will be managed by the Adreno A504.
Overall, we should have guaranteed an improvement in performance up to 85%, a value that also positively affects the aspect linked to autonomy, generally Achilles' heel on these devices. And the autonomy will rely on a large 577 mAh battery, without impacting on shapes and weight, which remain rather contained (47 x 48 x 12.2 mm and a weight of 42 g), emphasizing the engineering work carried out by the Chinese company. .
Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 is official: improved autonomy and performance thanks to the new Snapdragon Wear 4100
Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3, therefore it pushes itself to a continuous use up to 72 hours, without giving up any functionality, but in the worst of situations we can always count on a super energy saving mode, the Essential Mode, which completely deactivates every function of Wear OS and activates an analog display with a declared autonomy of 45 days. The Dual-layer Display 2.0 technology is therefore renewed, which offers a secondary monochrome FSTN LCD display.
Mobvoi still wanted to propose a complete smartwatch, focusing its energies also on the software dedicated to monitoring sports and health activities, as well as sleep monitoring, which now also works in Essential Mode. There is also the possibility of measuring the level of oxygen saturation in the blood, a very useful function considering the historical period we are experiencing.
In this regard, the software consists of the TicHealth function, that is the database in which all the data relating to physical activity and various health monitoring are collected. Then we find TicExercise, which offers 13 sports modes such as walking and running indoors / outdoors, cycling (also indoors), freestyle, swimming, rowing, cross-trainer, yoga, gymnastics, climbing and trail. Then the TicPulse function completes the picture, for continuous monitoring of heart rate, and finally TicOxygen which will take care of blood oxygenation.
The rest of the specifications consists of 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory for user use, to install applications, music, etc. .. The main display instead offers a Retina-type resolution, equal to 454 x 454 pixels adopting the AMOLED technology for a 1,4-inch diagonal
TicWatch Pro 3 offers connectivity which includes Bluetooth 4.2 LE, Wi-Fi b / g / n, NFC for mobile payments and GPS / GLONASS / BeiDou / Galileo / QZSS and is IP68 certified against liquids and dust as well as being protected from a glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Finally, there is the possibility to call and answer directly from the smartwatch and all this TicWatch Pro 3 offers it to us with a launch price of 299,99 euros in the only color with availability directly on the official site, but it should also arrive on the Amazon store as soon as possible.
