Abstract

The aim of this project to collect and document information about Zeblaze Thor Ultra 4G smartwatch. Getting adb access, backing up the ROM, maybe even custom ROMs or custom apps.

Overall my aim is for a smartwatch to fully replace my phone and provide the bare essentials I need.

Initial findings

  • SoC from listing should be Unisoc 8541E (also known as Spreadtrum SC8541E)
  • Hardware info reports the SoC to be Spreadtrum SC9832e
  • Connects via USB as Spreadtrum Phone idVendor=1782, idProduct=4011, bcdDevice= 4.04
  • Possible way to get adb via XDA forums (have not tested yet myself)

What do I think about the watch?

What I like

  • Provided charger cable includes data lines
  • Screen looks rather good and touch is quite responsive
  • Full keybaord is totally usable!
  • WiFi hotspot works and works very well
  • Battery lasts 72h+ with light usage (few calls, few messages, short bursts of hotspotting)

What I do not like

  • 4G reception is poor
  • Band is a bit stiff and sometimes irritates the skin, but waiting for some Aliexpress options

What I am unsure about?

  • Does it have bloatware? And security issues?
  • Would like to explore running processes and reduce bloat.

Stay tuned!
