Noise brings the “Origin” smartwatch with a custom EN 1 chip and UI

June 6, 2024

Noise — the Indian OEM brand — is here with yet another smartwatch. This time the company has added a bit more of a personal touch with a custom chipset and UI. In this article, we will discuss the latest Noise Origin smartwatch along with its special features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Noise Origin Overview

Design and Display

The Noise Origin looks pretty standard in terms of design with its circular chassis. It has tiny grooves around the display and has a button and crown for navigation. The smartwatch case is made of stainless steel while the strap choices include silicone and leather. It is also quite durable with IP68 dust and water resistance and can endure being sunken into depths of up to 3 metres.

On the front, the watch houses an AMOLED display with a 1.46-inch circumference. Meanwhile, the screen resolution of the Noise Origin is 466 x 466 pixels. The company also mentions a 20% wider colour gamut, however, it does not mention which or the total number of colour gamut. The watch ships in six different colour options: Mosaic Blue, Jet Black, Silver Grey, Midnight Black, Classic Black, and Classic Brown. Herein the latter two are leather strap options.

The new Processor and UI

Before the release of Noise Origin, the company announced their custom processor as well as UI. This chip of theirs is called the “EN 1” while the UI is dubbed the “Nebula UI”.

As per sources, this chipset offers 30% improved performance, but it does not mention with which other chip the comparison is drawn. Likewise, the UI comes with an updated layout and icons along with notification organisation capabilities.

With the combination of the EN 1 chipset and the new Nebula UI, the watch offers a smooth and seamless user experience — complete with haptic feedback from an in-built linear motor.

Features and Battery

Despite having a new processor and UI, the phone seems to miss out on one of the most sought-after smartwatch features i.e. Bluetooth calling. However, it does display the caller’s information and allows to reject the calls. The Noise Origin relies on Bluetooth v5.3 for wireless connection with your smartphone and is compatible with devices running iOS 11.0 or Android 9.0 and later.

Other than that, this thing comes with standard health monitoring, and smartwatch features like AI voice assistant, stopwatch, alarm, calculator, music control, and so on. Noise claims that Origin can last a week on typical usage and a month on standby. Similarly, they also mention the charging time of two hours where the watch gains 45% battery in just 30 minutes.
