Wear OS Gets Big Battery Boost from New Hybrid Chipset Architecture
• Wear OS has a new hybrid interface to offload tasks to a low-power co-processor, improving battery life • OnePlus Watch 2 uses this with a dual chipset to offer over 2 days battery life • Main processor handles complex tasks, co-processor handles routine tasks • OS intelligently switches between processors, suspending main one when not needed • Enables features like notifications and health tracking to run on co-processor without compromising experience
