LG Watch Timepiece likely to launch with Snapdragon 2100 and Wear OS

Its been reported that LG is working on a new wearable dubbed as LG Watch Timepiece, which is said to be a hybrid smartwatch and will run on Google's Wear OS. Since its a hybrid smartwatch, it will come with a mechanical clock setup along with the smart functions.

Its been expected that the LG Watch Timepiece will come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 chipset and will be equipped with 4GB of eMMC storage and 768 MB of RAM. The LG smartwatch is expected to sport a 1.2-inches LCD display with a resolution of 360 x 360.

On connectivity part, the device is expected to offer Wi-Fi 802.11n, and Bluetooth 4.2 will be on board, but no cellular data support. It boasts a stainless steel body and IP68 water and dust-resistance certification.

The device is said to come with 240mAh battery. Even though 240 mAh battery is drained, the device will be able to continue tracking time at least for up to hundred hours, approx up to four days.

The Watch screen can display watch faces and complications you can install from the Google Play Store. It is said to measure 45.5 x 45.4 x 12.9 mm in size. LG is said to be shipping the wearable with a 22 mm silicone rubber strap and should also get the ability to swap with any other 22 mm silicone rubber strap.

The smartwatch will not come with any cellular capabilities and will instead only support Wi-Fi 802.11. The device will pack a nine-axis motion sensor. Meanwhile, it will not support GPS and NFC out of the box.

The LG Watch Timepiece is rumored to be announced on Monday and will be available for purchase in two color options - New Aurora Black and Cloud Silver. The wearable is supposed to go on sales by June. Though LG is targeting global availability, there are models which may have slightly different specs and even be advertised under different brand names, depending on the region.

As far as price concerned, we can say that the price of this device will be much higher than $250 because the LG Watch Sport debuted with a $350 price tag in early 2017. But it comes with a larger and higher-resolution screen, higher-capacity battery, NFC support, and GPS capabilities.
