[PConline Miscellaneous] On Thursday, September 19th Huawei will release its own flagship cell phone mate30 in Munich, but the release is not only mate30, Huawei will also release its own flagship smart wear wearable product HUAWEI WATCH GT 2. Just in the recent time, Huawei official released several preview videos on major social media platforms announcing that Kirin A1 will first be used in the smartwatch smart wearable category. The current exposure of the news is more and more complex, draw the cocoon, let's take a look at HUAWEI WATCH GT2 in addition to the Huawei Kirin A1 chip will have what to see.
The release of the system level chip Kirin A1 and the new features it brings
On the afternoon of September 6, Huawei released its first flagship 5G SoC chip Kirin 990 at IFA2019, which integrates the network functions of 2G/3G/4G and 5G in a single chip, and a smaller chip area, which can bring lower use of Power Consumption!
At the same time, Huawei also announced a new chip: Kirin A1 with Bluetooth 5.1 support . The first product to feature the Kirin A1 chip is the FreeBuds 3, a true wireless Bluetooth headset. According to reports, the Kirin A1 chip gives the FreeBuds 3 30% higher performance metrics than Apple's AirPods and 50% lower power consumption, in a package that's 95% of the size of the AirPods H1 wireless chip.
Smart wearables are designed to be worn next to the skin, so they are small, thin, and lightweight. They also need to interact with and be linked to a smartphone, so connectivity stability and low power consumption are critical.
Onboard Power and Reset buttons are accompanied by a LED Debug Display that puts users in the driving seat when experimenting with different hardware configurations, and allows users to take advantage of advanced features such as faster boot times, faster system resume from the boot loader, and faster system resume from the boot loader. "The HUAWEI HTC is also a new generation of HUAWEI's newest device, the HUAWEI HTC, which can be embedded in any small wearable device. This is the key reason why the HUAWEI WATCH GT2 was able to use on the Kirin A1.
And it's because of the chip's small size, low power consumption, and multi-functionality in one that this HUAWEI WATCH GT2 should have a lot of different features.
Speculation 1: Longer battery life
According to the information, Kirin A1 is a Bluetooth SoC (System-on-Chip) that supports TWS headsets and wearable devices, and it is the first system-on-chip to support the Bluetooth/low-power Bluetooth Dual Channel 5.1 standard. With excellent anti-interference capability and high performance dual-channel Bluetooth connectivity, it delivers up to 30% lower latency compared to previous generations.
The Kirin A1 chip will greatly improve the stability of the connection with your smartphone during bumpy sports. And based on a peak file transfer of 4Mbps, about 2.5 times faster than traditional Bluetooth data throughput, while the physical bandwidth is up to 6.5Mbps, 2.8 times faster than traditional Bluetooth. This will enable faster and more efficient data synchronization between smartphones smartwatches. It also means that the Kirin A1 chip's standby power consumption is relatively low, which may further extend the battery life of smartwatches.
Spot Speculation 2: Voice Calling
The Kirin A1 all-in-one package means that any device equipped with this chip will be able to communicate by connecting to a cell phone, so it's very likely that the current generation of the HUAWEI WATCH GT2 will contain a microphone and speakers, which will make it very easy to make Bluetooth calls, listen to music, and respond to calls. Bluetooth calling, listening to music and replying to WeChat voice messages, and even the ability to use a smart voice assistant through the watch.
Renders and patents reveal new features
Watch speculation 3: new design
In the early exposure of renderings and news, HUAWEI WATCH GT2 is divided into a fashion model - Gravel Brown, and sports model - Obsidian Black. According to the exposure, HUAWEI WATCH GT2 will follow the classic round dial, will have a thinner metal bezel and wider touch and vision, simple shape, see more clearly; dial thinner than the previous generation, the lugs more and more slender, the strap is divided into Viton strap and leather strap, wearing comfort should be better.
According to the previous generation of GT1, GT2 is definitely not only two colors, it should be very rich in styles and colors to achieve more usage scenarios and user coverage.
17 well-known breaking news website SlashLeaks released a set of HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 official renderings, it seems that in addition to inheriting the version of GT1, there are also dials with integrated 3D glass surface design of the new product.
Look speculation 4: Huawei Truseen technology upgrade
And not long ago Huawei had released a news article within its own official website, "301 Hospital Releases Huawei Wearable Device-Based Heart Health Research Outcomes at the European Cardiology Annual Meeting," in which this article details the Huawei In this article, the results of the Heart Study series of studies are detailed: ① screening of people at high risk of arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation based on PPG technology; ② MAFA Ⅱ: mHealth (mobile medical) technology supporting the integrated management of atrial fibrillation.
Huawei submitted nine design patents to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on September 4 of this year, and two days later they were included in the patent pool, each showing a different graphical user interface. But these are just indications that the HUAWEI WATCH GT2 will have some new dial looks, with the focus on the 10th design patent filed by Huawei later.
In the 10th patent filed by Huawei, the dial shows graphics of a heart rate monitor in a dynamic animation. Why the sudden change to the previous heart rate detection animation? This is worth a deeper look. Combined with the results of the previous Huawei Heart Study series of studies then it is not difficult to guess that the emergence of this new appearance patent should be about the new function of heart monitoring, Huawei Truseen technology upgrade, it will be very likely to support atrial fibrillation monitoring on the HUAWEI WATCH GT2.
Final Summary
At present, it is not much to be able to debut on the same stage with the flagship product, HUAWEI WATCH GT these two releases are accompanied by the mate series on the same stage to show off. Combined with Huawei's current layout in the field of intelligent connectivity and its strategic objectives, the HUAWEI WATCH GT product has a rather different status in Huawei's system.
