iQoo First Smartwatch With AMOLED Screen And SpO2 Tracking Arrives In China،
Chinese consumer technology brand iQoo has launched its first smartwatch in China: the iQoo Watch. The wearable comes with an AMOLED display, runs on Vivo's BlueOS operating system, and has a version that supports e-SIM for cellular connectivity. Coming to health and fitness tracking features, the iQoo Watch also has heart rate and blood oxygen tracking sensors. With iQoo being a popular brand in India, the smartwatch might also launch soon. That said, here's everything we know about the new device.
iQoo Watch Screen Size and Sensors
Out of the box, the iQoo Watch flaunts a 1.43-inch AMOLED display that supports always-on functionality and has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. Under the hood, the device runs on Vivo's BlueOS operating system. However, the market response will determine whether this is a great move or a missed opportunity as most Android smartwatches in the segment feature Wear OS.
For health tracking, the smartwatch has an SpO2 sensor that estimates blood oxygen levels and a heart rate sensor. Other sensors include an accelerometer, gyroscope, ambient light sensor, Hall sensor, and geomagnetic sensor that works like a compass built into the device. That said, users can use the smartwatch to measure and monitor their sleep, stress, menstrual cycle, and over 100 exercises in designated sports modes.
The smart watch supports Bluetooth calls and contactless payments
Like other Bluetooth smartwatches, the iQoo Watch also has a microphone and speaker system that supports hands-free voice calling. There is also a version that supports electronic SIM card. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth v5.2 and NFC (for making contactless payments).
The smartwatch is powered by a 505mAh battery that supports wired charging and provides up to three days of battery life on a single charge. However, readers should be aware that effective battery life depends on usage patterns, that is, the number of times all sensors and other features, such as voice calls, are used.
iQoo Watch Price and Availability
In Chinese currency, the iQoo Watch costs CNY 1,099, which is approximately Rs. 9,999. 13,000 for the Bluetooth variant only. The electronic SIM card version costs 1,200 CNY, which is approximately Rs. 9,999. 15,000. On the company's official website for the region, the watch is listed in two colors: Star Track Black and Haoyu Black. However, Indian pricing and availability of the smartwatch are not known at the moment.
