Samsung Exynos W930: Latest wearable chip powering Galaxy Watch 6 series
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series introduces the Exynos W930, the first update to the smartwatch chip in several years. This new chip succeeds the W920 that powered the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5.
The Exynos W930 maintains the 5nm process but brings some improvements, with its dual-core Cortex-A55 cores now clocked at 1.4GHz, up from the W920’s 1.18GHz.The GPU remains the same Mali-G68 MP2, and display support stays at qHD (960×540), along with similar modem speeds, storage, and GNSS equipment (GPS, GLONASS, etc).
However, Samsung utilizes “the latest packaging technologies,” resulting in a smaller PCB (printed circuit board) that allows for bigger batteries without increasing the overall size of the smartwatches. This enhancement contributes to making each model slimmer.
Another advantage of the Exynos W930 is its reduced power consumption for Bluetooth, leading to potential battery life improvements. Overall, the new chip builds upon the impressive power and efficiency of its predecessor, enhancing the user experience for Samsung wearables in 2023 and beyond.
