From the 27 to the 29 in August, in the Chinese city of Shenzen, the "Global Resource mobile and wireless products Exhibition“, In which the Asian start-up Hopu unveiled its new wearable solution with processor to the public MediaTek Aster MT2502.
The MediaTek MT2502 processor is the chipset made by the Taiwanese company specifically for the wearable segment; a SoC that we talked about several times but that, however, had never yet found any scope of application. The new Hopu smartwatch therefore becomes the 1 ° smartwatch in the world to be equipped with this processor!
The integration between the clock itself and the processor, judging from the comments of those present at the event, would be efficient. The MediaTek Aster, we remember, it is a processor designed by the company based in Taiwan for the entry-level segment and, therefore, the price of the Hopu smartwatch should not be high.
According to what was communicated during the event, Hopu would have made at the moment only a limited batch of his device. Fans of wearables will still have something to discuss in the future as CEO Yi has announced that the Hopu smartwatch will only be the first MediaTek-smartwatch in a long line.
