Qualcomm will help Google and Samsung defeat the Apple Watch - Gizchina.com

Back in the spring, Google and Samsung announced that they had teamed up to create a new operating system, Wear, which will offer the best firmware for wearable devices such as Google, Samsung and Fitbit.

The company issued a press release in which it announced that it is increasing the amount of investment to create new chips for wearable devices.

Among other things, Qualcomm announced the launch of the Wearables Ecosystem Accelerator program, which aims to help wearable electronics manufacturers create and launch new devices.

Qualcomm has announced that it is open to partnerships with all companies interested in launching devices with Snapdragon Wear chips.

Google is preparing a fairly large update of the Play Store branded application store; one of the key points of which will be an easy search for software for wearable devices running the Wear OS platform.

The update will affect not only devices running pure Wear OS; but also products with the One UI Watch add-on, which is in development by Samsung in cooperation with Google.
