Lenovo is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of devices, computers, mobile devices, and all kinds of IoT devices. Now, during CES 2022, the Chinese tech company unveiled the new smartwatch Lenovo Essential Smart Watch.
This is the latest generation of one of the brand’s most popular IoT gadgets that, by 2022, opts to incorporate Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant over Google Assistant. The new iteration is smarter and has some specific improvements.
This is the new Lenovo Smart Clock Essential smartwatch
Unlike previous models, the new Lenovo Smart Clock Essential incorporates Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant. The design is similar to the existing products on the market, but this time it has changes in the night light / night light function.
At the same time, it also hits the market with new color schemes such as brick (Clay Red) and blue (Misty Blue), for more customization options. It also features sound system enhancements and optimizations for the large center screen.
Thus, we have optimizations and improvements of the internal components, without the manufacturer having specified exactly what they consist of. That is, most of the features are likely to be the same or slightly updated.
We have a new light dock, Lenovo Ambient Light Dock
On the other hand, the new model came with a new base or light base, Lenovo’s Ambient Light Base. This peculiar accessory can serve as a night light or a night light, for example, for a children’s room.
This light can also be used as ambient light to create the desired atmosphere in a room, or even a small room with rhythmic light effects, controlled through the clock itself.
In addition, the new version of the Lenovo Smart Watch is compatible with the Lenovo Wireless Charging Dock for wireless charging and power, an accessory that debuted last year with the then-new Lenovo Smart Clock 2.
Lenovo Clock Zen Lighting Light Base
The Chinese manufacturer offers the product with the luminous base in different finishes / effects depending on the intended use.
Paying attention to its technical specifications we have a 4-inch monochrome screen with LED lighting, not sensitive to touch. It supports a variety of customizable digital displays and is lined with a firm mesh fabric in various colors.
Physical buttons to control the most important functions of the Lenovo watch
It has several physical buttons to control the clock functions present on the top edge with highlighting and relief, as well as a button dedicated to Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant. From there it is also possible to configure alarms and other functions.
It should be noted that Lenovo Smart Clock Essential has a physical button to disable the built-in microphones for user privacy purposes. In addition, it has a USB type A port to charge other devices, for example.
It should also be noted that the watch has a total of two wide-spectrum microphones to ensure good reception of voice commands, even from a distance.
This new clock uses an Amlogic A113X chipset as a processor with 4 GB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage. It has various sensors like brightness, accelerometer, and proximity sensor.
It also highlights the WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity while the previous model has Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and the Google Assistant included. The product weighs 249 grams, significantly heavier than the previous version.
Finally, the new Smart Clock Essential with Alexa costs the equivalent of $ 59.99 in international markets. It should arrive in Portugal during the first quarter of 2022, possibly with a direct conversion of the price to euros.
It should also be noted that the Lenovo Ambient Light Dock starts at $ 29.99 with the same forecast to hit the market this quarter.
