| Mobvoi announces the launch of the TicWatch Pro S Smartwatch |
After launching TicWatch Pro 3, Mobvoi released the TicWatch Pro S, a smartwatch with some advanced features from TicWatch, at only $ 260.
Features include two levels of display, AMOLED LCD screen can be activated at any time to extend battery life, and some special features for health applications.
Although not much has changed about the platform itself, Wear OS smartphones have improved over the past few years.
Mobvoi's latest Wear OS watch is just an update of one of the older models, especially the 2020 version of TicWatch Pro with 1GB of RAM.
The new TicWatch Pro S has the same memory allocation but also has 8GB storage capacity, which is twice the capacity of the brand.
With this update, of course, more space for offline apps and music should be created. However, this has become more difficult since the end of Google Play Music and the shortage of YouTube Music.
The TicWatch Pro S costs $ 40 less than the TicWatch Pro 3, but that price requires a huge compromise, just like the old processor.
The more expensive TicWatch Pro 3 includes the new Snapdragon 4100 processor, which provides higher processing power and battery efficiency to solve some of the long-standing issues with Wear OS.
However, TicWatch Pro S is powered by the older Snapdragon 2100 processor, which is the one that Wear OS devices have been using since at least 2016.
The new watch is slightly thicker than the TicWatch Pro 3 (12.6mm vs 12.2mm), but slightly narrower (45mm vs 47mm), but it uses a smaller battery.
Compared to TicWatch Pro 3's 577mAh battery, this new watch has only 415mAh battery capacity.
The Always On Display option on TicWatch Pro S is an advanced feature that provides longer battery life compared to regular Wear OS devices.
The TicWatch Pro S can be purchased from Mobvoi and Amazon in the US, UK, and Europe for $ 260.
