The OnePlus Watch 3 has been officially announced in classic OnePlus fashion – via a product webpage that teases its design and features while leaving some important details under wraps. Given that Oppo and OnePlus frequently share hardware components, insights from the impending Watch X2 could offer valuable clues about what we can expect from the OnePlus Watch 3. The Watch X2 is set to launch alongside the ultra-slim Find N5 foldable next week, suggesting that both smartwatches might share similar specifications despite distinct designs.
The Watch X2 is anticipated to feature a stunning 1.5-inch display capable of achieving an exceptional brightness of 2200 nits. This represents a significant increase from the 600 nits offered by the previous model (which closely resembles the OnePlus Watch 2), ensuring users have a clear view even in bright sunlight. Given this, it is reasonable to conclude that the OnePlus Watch 3 might similarly offer a display that reaches 2200 nits of brightness.
Oppo has yet to reveal many technical specifics beyond the display details, but with both companies providing teasers, we can infer certain features. The OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to be powered by a 631 mAh battery, promising up to 5 days of usage. The Oppo Watch X2 is likely to target similar battery longevity, potentially integrating Wear OS with a more efficient proprietary operating system for times when advanced features aren't in use.
