The smart will be release next been October a will first sell in Europ. During the presentation at IFA, Asus mentioned that millennials have shown the greatest interest so far in the concept of a smartwatch, and it seems Asus has targeted precisely that market with the design of the ZenWatch 3. The three physical buttons on the right side give this smartwatch a much sportier appearance than other watches that the company has so far released.
The two extra buttons, however, are superfluous. The upper button initiates fitness monitoring, while the lower open the alarm settings. Both functions could easily have been incorporated into the software settings.
Asus ZenWatch 3 display
The new Asus watch brings a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 400 x 400 pixels. These measurements give us a pixel density of 287 ppi.
Asus ZenWatch 3 software
As usual, the Android Wear software is essentially identical to that found on any smartwatch: gesture controls are the same, and manufacturer tweaks are minimal. In fact, considering that this was the first Android Wear smartwatch to appear at IFA, this is cause for a little reflection.
Asus ZenWatch 3 performance
So far, almost all Android Wear smartwatches have come equipped with the Snapdragon 400. The ZenWatch 3 comes as standard with Qualcomm’s new replacement for this: the Snapdragon 2100.
Asus ZenWatch 3 battery
In terms of battery, Asus promises similar results to those of other recent Android Wear smartwatches: up to two full days, thanks to its 340 mAh of power. What does seem promising is its hypercharge system, which is, in 15 minutes, said to achieve 60 percent charge, i.e., the equivalent of more than one day of use.
