Huawei to launch ‘world’s first’ dedicated chipset for wearables in India

Huawei has announced that it will be launching Kirin A1 — ‘world’s first and only chipset exclusively for wearables’–in India early next month. Powering the new range of Huawei devices, the Kirin A1 is the only one that supports both BT 5.1 & BLE 5.1.
As per Huawei, Kirin A1 comes with an advanced Bluetooth processing unit, a powerful audio processing unit, an ultra-low power application processor and an independent power management unit, all within 4.3mm x 4.4mm.
The company claims that the Huawei Kirin A1 chip’s Cortex-M7 processor has achieved a maximum energy consumption rate of 10uA/MHz, far below the industry’s 30uA/MHZ power consumption level. As per Huawei, the combination of the Cortex-M7’s multi-sensors, as well as from the capacitive sensor, optical heart rate sensor, and additional sensors such as accelerometer sensor and six axis sensor, is crafted to deliver the most accurate body recognition and monitoring capabilities.
