by Selva Ganesh Leave a Comment

Compare with fitness bands, SmartWatches have a lot of features, and they can work as a standalone. Most of the people nowadays prefer fitness bands because it fulfills most of the need for a SmartWatch.  The one problem with SmartWatches is power efficiency. They can’t give the same battery backup like fitness bands, Where you can get 20-30 days backup for a single charge. But SmartWatches can provide battery backup from 24 hours to 7 Days based on the features they offer and your usage time. When your Watch has a separate data connection, GPS won’t give much backup. The processor should have better efficiency to give better standby time. Qualcomm Introduces Snapdragon Wear 4100+ with High Energy Efficiency. Along with better efficiency, there are a lot of improvements that are done in this processor.
