OnePlus is also expected to launch a smartwatch, purportedly called the OnePlus Watch. While previously it was mere speculation, OnePlus’ CEO Pete Lau recently confirmed that a smartwatch is in the works. For this, the company is in talks with Google to enhance the Wear OS for the smartwatch for better smart device compatibility.
The OnePlus Watch will compete with the Oppo Watch, Realme Watch, and more. It is likely to get a circular AMOLED display and come with a heart rate sensor, SpO2 sensor, up to 10 sports modes, and more.
