OnePlus has confirmed that it will finally be launching its latest smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3 on 18 February. However, OnePlus may only be launching the upcoming smartwatch in the US to start with, given that the India division of the company is yet to formally make an announcement.
For context: OnePlus launched its Watch 2 at the MWC last year and was immediately available in India along with many other countries. Notably, the OnePlus Watch 3 was rumored to make its debut during the OnePlus 13 series launch last month but while that leak didn’t exact pan out, the smartwatch is still making its debut sooner than expected.
OnePlus Watch 3: All we know so far
OnePlus has confirmed that the Watch 3 will be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 processor as its predecessor but it will now come with a new BES2800MCU chip to help save the battery life.
Moreover, OnePlus is adding a Silicon carbon battery technology (just like the OnePlus 13) with the Watch 3, which has led to increasing the battery capacity from 500mAh to 631mAh. Moreover, the brand claims that Watch 3 will support 120 hours of battery life compared to 100W from last year.
The Watch 3 will come in two colourways:Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium. The new smartwatch will go on sale in US, Canada, and other markets across Europe from 18 February.
