Qualcomm today announced the Snapdragon Wear 1200 Platform, a new system-on-a-chip that is meant for personal fitness and tracking devices more so than smartwatches. The 1200 consumes just 79 square millimeters of space and relies on a 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex A7 processor core with an integrated Cat-M1, NB1, and eGPRS multi-mode modem. The platform supports VoLTE, multiple global positioning systems, as well as Bluetooth 4.2 and 802.11ac WiFi for connectivity. Qualcomm claims the Wear 1200 Platform is 45% smaller than previous designs and accommodates up to 10 days of battery life even when connected to LTE. The Wear 1200 Platform is ideal for targeted kid, pet, elderly, and fitness trackers, according to Qualcomm, thanks to geofencing support and the extended battery life. The SoC can run Linux or RTOS operating systems, but nothing like Android Wear. The Snapdragon Wear 1200 Platform is in production and shipping today.
