Long presentation at
Chip it is based on:
The MT2601 includes 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A7, ARM Mali-400 MP GPU, and supports qHD display resolution. The MT2601 interfaces with a whole host of external sensors and the wireless connectivity SoC MT6630 for Bluetooth – all in a PCBA footprint of less than 480 mm2.
Most current Chinese smart watches are based on MT2501 or MT2502 (very low power chips)
There was a colossal gap in China for a premium-looking, affordable smartwatch from a company that knows what Chinese early adopters want and how they will wear it.
The Ticwatch is that watch. How do we know? 16,000 backers on e-commerce and crowdfunding site JD.com just raised over RMB 8 million ($1.3 million) for Mobvoi, the startup that built the $160 smartwatch, that's how.
