Mobvoi launches powerful new TicWatch E3 with the Snapdragon Wear 4100

It's only the second Wear OS smartwatch with the Snapdragon Wear 4100.

What you need to know

  • Mobvoi launches its new TicWatch E3 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset.
  • The new Wear OS watch offers many of the features found in its higher-end predecessor but at a cheaper price point.
  • The Mobvoi TicWatch E3 is available today for $200.

Two years after Mobvoi launched the TicWatch E2, the company has announced the new Mobvoi TicWatch E3, which comes equipped with the latest Wear OS software and Qualcomm processor.

The new Mobvoi TicWatch E3 brings many improvements over its predecessor, including a more streamlined design that's akin to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. The display is slightly smaller at 1.3-inches and has a slightly lower resolution at 360x360, but the reduced size should make it an easier fit for more people. However, the real story is what's underneath the hood.

Mobvoi has equipped the TicWatch E3 with the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100, marking a huge jump from the Snapdragon Wear 2100 on the E2. This also makes it the second smartwatch to include the latest Qualcomm chip after the flagship Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 GPS launched last year. The E2 ran relatively smooth despite missing out on the Wear 3100, but the newer chip should prove quite impressive, promising 85% better performance while using 25% less power.

As for power, Mobvoi decided to reduce the battery capacity down from 415mAh to just 380mAh, but the company promises the same two-day battery life as its predecessor thanks to the new chip, the latest version of Wear OS, and the help of useful features like Essential Mode. And the 1GB of RAM should also help keep things running smoothly, along with 8GB of internal storage.

The TicWatch E3 is equipped with many of the features expected in a Mobvoi smartwatch, including a suite of health and fitness apps like TicHealth and TicExercise. Users can enable Vo2Max tracking and 24-hour SpO2 monitoring with TicOxygen, and TicMotion will automatically detect certain activity. The TicWatch E3 is also ready to join you at the pool this summer thanks to IP68 water and dust resistance, and there's also built-in GPS and NFC for Google Pay, making it easier to keep your phone at home or in your pocket.

Of course, the elephant in the room is that even with the newer chipset, no one is sure if the current Wear OS smartwatches will be eligible for the new Wear OS update that's expected to launch later this year. Fossil has already stated that its current watches won't be updated, but Mobvoi has yet to confirm anything. Still, the new TicWatch E3 is a more-than-capable device and is easily one of the best Wear OS watches on the market after the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS.

The new Mobvoi TicWatch E3 retails for $200 and is available today through Mobvoi and Amazon. The watch is sold with two additional color straps, so you can easily switch up your style.

Powerful and more affordable

The new Mobvoi TicWatch E3 takes the best of its predecessors and marries them in a powerful yet surprisingly affordable Wear OS smartwatch. Thanks to the new Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 and the latest version of Wear OS, the E3 should offer some of the best performance and battery efficiency.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
