Qualcomm recently unveiled its new Snapdragon Wear
3100 processor and promised that a wave of smartwatches equipped with its new
platform will be launched on the market by the end of the year.
One of the brands that have been mentioned by
Qualcomm last month is Louis Vuitton, a company that's certainly not strange to
the smartwatch industry. Some of you probably don't know that the last Louis
Vuitton smartwatch launched on the market, the Android Wear-powered Tambour
Horizon costs around US$ 2,500.
However, the brand new smartwatch coming from Louis
Vuitton has just been spotted at FCC (Federal Communications Commission), which
suggests an official announcement is not that far. Not many details about the
smartwatch are revealed by the listing, but we do know that there will be two
variants available on the market, probably priced quite high.
There's no mention of NFC (Near Field Communication)
or GPS, but FCC tested the smartwatch for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The wearable
device is about 47.5mm wide, which is pretty standard for a smartwatch.
Obviously, it will run Wear OS and it will pack
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 3100 chipset. Other than that, information about the
upcoming Louis Vuitton is pretty scarce, but one thing is sure: it will cost a
small fortune.
