OnePlus hasn’t formally announced its next smartwatch – the brand as a whole is in question right now – but the new OnePlus Watch 4 has just been posted to a global OnePlus website, revealing nearly every detail about the Wear OS watch.
The OnePlus Watch 4 has popped up a couple of times lately, including with some global packaging showing up earlier this month. But with OnePlus looking increasingly likely to shut down its global operations, an actual global release has been a mystery.
It’s now looking a whole lot more likely, though.
The OnePlus website has just posted the OnePlus Watch 4’s promo page in full. This doesn’t show up on regional sites, but rather the generic “global” website meant for “other regions.”
There’s no official announcement, no social media teasers, really nothing you’d expect from a new product launch.
Whatever is going on behind the scenes, the OnePlus Watch 4 at least looks like a pretty solid setup. The Wear OS watch is running Wear OS 6 with “OxygenOS Watch 8” and the same battery life as its predecessor – 16 days in power saver, 5 days in “smart mode,” and 3 days for “heavy use.” The battery size is nearly identical at 632 mAh. Gemini is advertised here too.
The big change this year is the physical hardware, with OnePlus Watch 4 getting an all-titanium design that uses a titanium alloy for the entire case. Watch 3 also used this material, but only in the bezel, with the rest of the case made from stainless steel. As a result, OnePlus Watch 4 is lighter at 43g (68g with the strap), while measuring in at 47.4×47.4×11.0 mm, a bit thinner.
Other aspects are pretty much the same. Snapdragon W5 chip alongside a BES 2800 to facilitate the ability to swap back and forth between Wear OS and a low-power RTOS, sapphire crystal over the display, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a host of health sensors. Watch 4 has a number of health certifications, notably lacking in the US.
It looks like a solid overall update but, as mentioned, the mystery here is around the actual launch. There’s no price mentioned on this listing, nor any release date. Given OnePlus is cutting staff and officially “evaluating” its global business, who knows what will actually happen…
