Qualcomm has officially entered the smartwatch game by announcing its own Toq smartwatch soon after Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Gear at this year’s IFA in Berlin.
The Toq comes with a color touch display along with a touchpad, but unlike the Galaxy Gear’s 10 hour of battery life, the Toq has an estimated battery life of five days.* If you’re one of those that still wear watches to tell time (instead of using your phone), then you will know that 10 hours (or even 5 days for that matter) is well under the average charge lifetime of a dumbwatch.
#gallery-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
As for the Toq’s smart-ness, it’ll have basically the same functionalities as the gear and those that came before.* People will be able to link the Toq up to an Android-based handset to check and respond to texts with pre-selected message, and some other extended functionalities like checking the weather via a dedicated widget.
Qualcomm hasn’t given an exact launch date for the Toq, but Time reports that the device will be available sometime at the end of this year for around $300 to $350.
