Oppo Watch 2 will be presented tomorrow. Here, however, with a day in advance the possible final images and some of the technical characteristics
Second generation coming for the smartwatch of the group that aspires to occupy permanently the second position in the ranking of smartphone manufacturers on a global scale. There is no shortage of expectations on the Oppo Watch 2, and it could not be otherwise given the goodness of the first generation.
First and foremost, the Oppo Watch 2 is expected to continue on the path traced by its predecessor, namely that of a convincing value for money. It would then be important that Oppo Watch 2 arrives with a hardware package that can best support the next revision of Wear OS, to develop which Google has used the collaboration of Samsung: the two companies, or rather the two giants, have worked side by side in the design of Wear OS 3, so that Seoul will put aside the proprietary operating system Tizen, but from the first rumors it seems that the OS of the big G will have very stringent hardware requirements that could exclude several products. Difficult that the excluded there may be Oppo Watch 2, but we’ll know more tomorrow.
Design of Oppo Watch 2
The world-renowned informant Evan Blass has tried to disrupt the plans to Oppo distributing today several images of Oppo Watch 2, which for scenarios and level of detail could be just the images that Oppo will distribute to the press. And after all, it would not be the first time that the same Blass or other colleagues succeed in the intent.
The lines of Oppo Watch 2 would obviously be similar to those of the first generation, with a square plant for which Oppo designers have drawn inspiration from the reference of the sector, the Apple Watch, and a display that seems even more optimized than in the past. It is possible that Oppo maintains the dual construction, with a part in aluminum alloy and another in plastic.
Still no information, however, about the size of the case. No doubt about the presence of two sizes on the list for Oppo Watch 2, there is to understand if the company will make some changes or confirm the 41 and 46 millimeters of the previous generation. For example, it is said that the smaller variant could be 42 millimeters.
Oppo Watch 2, the possible technical specifications
In addition to the alleged press images, Evan Blass has provided an overview of what should be the technical specifications of Oppo Watch 2. The company is betting heavily on its new smartwatch, on which it has already stated that it will want to offer an autonomy of 2-3 days on a single charge: there will be a lot to improve, because the autonomy was one of the weak points of the first Oppo Watch.
And it will depend not only on the size of the battery, but also on the efficiency of the Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip from Qualcomm that seems to give life to Oppo Watch 2. It will be assisted, it is said, by a co-processor Apollo 4s, which will be entrusted with all those tasks that do not require much energy: so it relieves the powerful Snapdragon Wear 4100 and should arrive at the autonomy promised by Oppo.
It is said that the internal memory will increase from the current 8 GB to 16 GB, there will be eSIM, GPS, NFC, heart rate monitor and measurement of stress levels.
