Qualcomm's next Wear OS chipset could arrive in 2025; here's what we know

Quick Summary:

I spoke with Qualcomm VP of Wearables Dino Bekis about the future of Wear OS watches, including the next Snapdragon SoC coming "next year".

He once again brought up scalability, explaining that Qualcomm's typical workflow meant that they would focus first on high-power PCs (Snapdragon X Elite), then scale down to mobile (Snapdragon 8 Elite) before trying to scale the power demands down again to the challenging wearable level.

So I arranged a more formal interview to get any more details he could share on the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 (or whatever Qualcomm calls it), the infrequency of watch chips, and what to expect from future Snapdragon-powered smartwatches.
