- OnePlus just unveiled a new affordable smartwatch
- OnePlus Watch Lite will offer ‘flagship’ features, says OnePlus
- Despite the launch, OnePlus has kept most of the details under wraps
Looking for an interesting new Android smartwatch to brighten up your wrist? OnePlus thinks it has a competitor in the form of the OnePlus Watch Lite, an all-new wearable intended to be a more affordable way into the world of smartwatches – but will it do enough to compete with the best cheap smartwatches?
To answer this question, we need to know what it does. According to OnePlus, the Watch Lite is “a device designed to deliver flagship health and fitness features at an even more accessible price.” This gives us hope that the device won’t be too hampered by its low cost, even if OnePlus is keeping the price under wraps for now.
Apart from this, the OnePlus Watch Lite will be available in a Silver Steel finish which OnePlus says “offers a clean, modern look with a subtle shine that suits both everyday use and an active lifestyle.” This appears to be the only color option at the moment though.
That’s about all OnePlus is willing to reveal at the moment. We’ve reached out to the company to see if they have any more information and will update this article as soon as we receive a response. For now, OnePlus says the Watch Lite will be revealed in full on December 17, “and more details will be available in the following weeks.”
Full reveal coming later
The OnePlus Watch Lite was announced alongside two other devices: the OnePlus 15R smartphone and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet. The latter is particularly notable as the first OnePlus tablet to feature 5G connectivity.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumors about the OnePlus Watch Lite. OnePlus itself showed off a new watch on its website earlier in November, but it didn’t give much away aside from a vague preview of the watch. Given the timing, this teaser seems to hint at the Watch Lite.
The big question for OnePlus is whether the Watch Lite can compete with the Amazfit Active 2 and Apple Watch SE 3. Amazfit’s wearable is currently our pick for the best cheap smartwatch money can buy, and it comes with a plethora of impressive features, including strong battery life, excellent health tracking, and a beautiful design.
Right now, there’s no way to know how the Watch Lite compares without OnePlus releasing more information about its wearable. We’ll get this data on December 17, and that will be a key date for anyone hoping to get a new smartwatch without breaking the bank.
