Qualcomm is developing a new Snapdragon SoC for wearable devices, codenamed Aspen, aimed at improving performance for the upcoming Wear OS. This new chipset will be created from scratch, marking a departure from Qualcomm's usual practice of modifying older smartphone SoCs. Expected specifications include a single-core Arm Cortex-A78 and a four-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPUs along with an LPDDR5X RAM controller. This design is anticipated to deliver substantial performance enhancements and battery life improvements compared to previous generations of Qualcomm's wearables chipsets, with the new products anticipated in 2026.
