We haven’t seen Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear chip in action for a while. Considering the sheer state of Android wearable devices, this chip maker doesn't seem to be happy to make them. It seems that Google and Samsung's cooperation in improving WearOS has rekindled Qualcomm's enthusiasm for re-entering the wearable chip market. XDA developers have now stumbled upon Snapdragon Wear 5100 in some code snippets, which is Qualcomm's upcoming smart watch chipset. It is shown as SW5100 on the Code Aurora forum. However, little is known about the specifications of the Snapdragon Wear 5100. Currently, the only thing we know is that the code name of Snapdragon Wear 5100 is “Monaco”.

It’s hard to say when we will see the Snapdragon Wear 5100 put into use. Currently, it only exists as an inconspicuous piece of the code repository. However, we now know its existence and will be released soon, hoping to release it with some new wearable devices. Earlier, we saw OPPO launch OPPO Watch 2 equipped with Snapdragon Wear 4100. It would be great if its successor uses Snapdragon Wear 5100.

Snapdragon Wear 5100 can also run a new version of the Wear OS platform, Wear OS 3.0. The update will be launched later this year and promises to add multiple new features. As far as Snapdragon Wear 5100 specifications are concerned, we may be looking for the same ARM Cortex-A53 core, but with higher clock speeds and QoL drops slightly here and there Improve. Wearable devices do not particularly require a lot of resources, so you can avoid using old hardware. In addition, more importantly is the software aspect.
