Why OnePlus waited three years to release a new smartwatch


OnePlus’ second smartwatch captured media interest this week, courtesy of its stated 100 hours of battery life. The device utilizes a clever dual-chip

This morning, ahead of the device’s official unveiling, I sat down with Tuomas Lampen, OnePlus Europe’s head of strategy on a pair of folding chairs outside Google’s MWC booth. In spite of OnePlus’ big news, the company opted out of a booth this year, preferring instead to hold an off-site briefing a day prior to the show’s kickoff. If the company’s work with Samsung on a foldable friendly version of Android is any indication, this could point to future Wear OS devices utilizing a similar hybrid approach to eke out as much battery life as possible.
