Oppo has just announced its promised duo of smartwatches featuring Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip — the first wearables to adopt the new platform since Qualcomm announced it last month.
The new chip follows the Snapdragon Wear 4100 used in last year’s Oppo Watch 2, but it’s interesting that Oppo hasn’t chosen to distinguish the Oppo Watch 3 Pro by packing in the more powerful flagship W5+ chip. Nevertheless, the boost over last year’s model should be pretty significant, as Qualcomm promises 50% better power efficiency and double the performance of the Wear 4100 chip.
However, it seems Oppo is willing to take a few more risks than Apple. The higher-end Oppo Watch 3 Pro is the first wearable to feature a 3D AMOLED LTPO display, and with that comes a flexible curved face that follows the contour of your wrist. In terms of screen size, it’s the Oppo Watch 3 Pro that comes closest to its predecessor, with the same 1.91-inch display presented in a 378 x 496 resolution due to the taller aspect ratio. The Oppo Watch 3 has a smaller 1.75-inch 372×430 AMOLED screen.
In addition to the new Snapdragon W5 chip and screen changes, both models also get a healthy storage boost to 32GB. However, the other specs remain largely the same as before, including 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 5.0, eSIM, NFC, 5 ATM water resistance, and GPS capabilities.
