Everything about OnePlus Watch 2, the second generation of the OnePlus smartwatch

OnePlus Watch 2 will be released soon. With what appearance, technical specifications and features will the second generation of OnePlus smart watch reach customers?

OnePlus wanted to bring its successful experiences in making and designing smartphones to the world of wearable gadgets. That’s why OnePlus Watch launched its first generation smart watch with stylish design and affordable price. But its shortcomings could not be ignored. One of the most important of them was the absence of the always-on display feature from the beginning by default. A feature that was added to the watch after a long time with an update.

For this reason, this company immediately thought of developing the second generation of its own smart watch in order to make up for this backwardness of its powerful competitors in the market such as Apple and Samsung. Now everything is ready to unveil OnePlus Watch 2.

But what will this product look like? Does it have a round design like the first generation? Does it use the same operating system? Will significant progress be made in its technical parts? In this article, we want to answer all these questions in your mind.

Release date

There is still a lot of information in this field and we do not know exactly when the Chinese manufacturer will unveil its second generation smartwatch. Most sources confirm that the OnePlus Watch 2 will be launched in the coming months and in 2024. The good news is that the new OnePlus smartwatch has just been spotted on India’s Breau of Indian Standards certification website, which could bode well for its launch date. If this speculation is correct, we can meet this wearable gadget next winter or spring.

Price

The price is another point about which there are few rumors. The first version of this watch was priced at $159, which was very competitive compared to other flagship watches on the market. We expect the price of the second generation of this watch to increase slightly; However, it will still be lower than Apple Watch Series 9 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6.

Designing

This is where we get a lot of information about the OnePlus Watch 2. Because the official renderings of this product have been leaked. These renders show that the watch will feature the exact same round design as its first generation. The design of these two generations is generally similar to each other, but when we look closely, there are some differences. For example, on the right side of the watch, there is a bulge on the body of the watch. On the outer edges, there are two buttons like the previous generation, except that the upper button is round and the lower button is elongated.

Could this elongated part function like a digital crown in other watches for easy navigation on the Ifa watch display? Is it a fingerprint sensor? Is it used for electrocardiography? Or maybe it works in all three cases? Since this protruding bump would spoil the watch’s stylish look, we’re curious to know what it might be.

hardware

Various reports have leaked out that provide information about the OnePlus Watch 2. The first one is related to its 1.43-inch AMOLED display, which is apparently a little bigger than the previous generation’s 1.39-inch panel. This display will have a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. Now it has to be seen if this generation lacks the always-on display feature like the previous generation, or if OnePlus has come to its senses and added this feature to its new wearable gadget from the very beginning.

Other technical details include the presence of the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset under its frame, which provides much better performance than the previous generation STM32 chipset and can be more efficient in energy consumption. It is also said that this product has sensors for electrocardiography, blood pressure monitor and stress and sleep monitoring.

OnePlus Watch 2 operating system

If the news we are hearing is true, the operating system will be another one of the biggest changes of this generation. The first generation of OnePlus Watch used the company’s own custom RTOS operating system. This platform had long battery life and fast and reliable performance, but it was not possible to install Wear OS universal platform apps on it.

But if the rumors are true, the OnePlus Watch 2 could be equipped with Wear OS 4. This means that you can install a wide range of different applications on this watch, unlike the previous installation
