The
successor to the Moto 360 smartwatch will have WiFi connectivity and a
higher-resolution screen, according to Phandroid.com. The specialist
website is relaying leaks on the Google Play Developers Console and on
social network Weibo on an upcoming Android Wear device codenamed Smelt.
Said
to have a screen with 360×360 pixels compared to the Moto 360’s 320×290
pixels, the mystery smartwatch will reportedly come with WiFi as well
as Bluetooth, and it will be available with a wider selection of
materials for both the case and the strap. This next-generation Moto 360
is expected to launch before the end of 2015.
A stylish smartwatch
Introduced
in spring 2014, the Moto 360 marked a turning point in the evolution of
the emerging smartwatch market thanks to its round and elegant design, a
far cry from the more “geeky” appearance of earlier models. More in
line with traditional wristwatch style codes thanks to its steel case
and leather strap, the Android Wear gadget paved the way for a new
generation of smartwatches such as the LG Watch Urbane and the future
Huawei Watch, which was presented at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
and will go on sale later this year.
The
Moto 360 also stands out for the extensive customization options
available through the Moto Maker online interface, which lets users
select their case color, case size, strap and screen wallpaper. Similar
to those offered by car brands, Motorola’s configuration tool is
currently the most advanced provided by any tech manufacturer, and the
customization options will almost certainly carry over to the follow-up
to the Moto 360.
