A day before the official unveiling of its new hardware lineup, South Korean tech giant Samsung has announced the processor that will power its upcoming smartwatch series — Galaxy Watch 4. The chipset — called Samsung Exynos W920 — supports the new unified wearable platform that has been co-developed by Samsung and Google.

The Samsung Exynos W920 processor is a successor to the Exynos 9110 that the South Korean giant unveiled about three years ago along with the Galaxy Watch, and this new chip will power the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic smartwatches.

The Exynos W920 packs two Arm Cortex-A55 cores for high-performing yet power-efficient processing and an Arm Mali-G68 GPU that boasts improved CPU performance around 20-percent and ten times better graphics performance than its predecessor. With upgraded cores and improved performance, the Exynos W920 enables faster application launches and more interactive eye-catching 3D graphical user interface (GUI) on a device’s qHD (960×540) display. The Korean firm touts up to a 20% CPU improvement over the Exynos W9110 with a huge 10x graphical performance leap.

With a dedicated Cortex-M55 co-processor, the Exynos W920 can utilize this to reduce power draw when using features such as an Always-on display. There’s also an embedded 4G LTE Cat. 4 modems for wireless communication and GNSS L1 for positional tracking. Another notable upgrade is support for screen resolutions up to 960 x 540 pixels, which give more room for form factor experimentation.

It also comes integrated with GNSS (Global Satellite Navigation System), 4G (LTE) modem, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, and the new processor supports Wear OS jointly developed by Google and Samsung.

At its Galaxy Unpacked 2021 event, [Samsung](https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a/?cid=in_paid_ppc_google_allproducts_none_allproducts-eshop-bau-search-brandshop_text_20200105_1032431191-54537502041-samsung--537432313171-aud-926077346581:kwd-11644311&gclid=CjwKCAjwx8iIBhBwEiwA2quaq9ByIWm4BO_ShKpOzAnAxdVkX8-38osVLiWPNQvEpMwMZCFLy8URDxoCL2QQAvD_BwE) is expected to launch two models in the Galaxy Watch 4 lineup — Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
