Google's Pixel Watch 2 is expected to come with a UWB chip. Other upgrades include a Snapdragon W5 chip, a bigger battery, and a Samsung OLED display. It could be launched with the Pixel 8 lineup.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple is likely to add an upgraded UWB chip to the iPhone 15, releasing this year. This will be an attempt to build a competitive ecosystem around the Vision Pro headset.
Samsung Electronics today announced its first ultra-wideband chip for mobile and automotive devices. Called Exynos Connect U100, the processor promises single-digit centimeter accuracy.
Note20 Ultra's FCC filings hint that the device could sport an Ultra Wideband chip to enable precise, indoor location tracking, spatial awareness, and fast file-sharing with other Galaxy devices.
