OnePlus has officially announced the launched of its latest device in the OnePlus Watch 3, which claims to be able to last longer than any smartwatch on the market right now
Tech giants OnePlus has officially announced the launch of its latest device – the Watch 3. Set to last a whopping five days, thanks to a new and improved 613mAh batter life, the device will launch in Europe and North American on February 18.
The Snapdragon W5 performance chipset and the new BES2800 MCU Efficiency chipset, two distinct flagship chipsets, power OnePlus Watch 3’s Dual-Engine Architecture and ensure an optimal balance between long battery life and intelligent functionality. Notably, to boost power efficiency, the fabrication technique of the all-new BES2800 chipset has been improved, built on advanced 6nm FinFET.
It also comes with a 2D Sapphire Crystal display, and a whole host of new features.
But the battery life is the biggest talking point, with One Plus going into great detail about how they’ve worked out the 120 hours claim – which would make it the longest battery life in a smart watch currently.
They said: “Actual battery life varies depending on the features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors.
“The 120 hours battery life claim is based on tests performed by OnePlus in laboratory conditions. Test data is derived from simulations based on the following settings and usage scenarios, actual battery life may vary.”
The conditions and scenarios they used to test it are:
- Using an official watch face, AOD off, default health monitoring.
- Bluetooth connection – 14.2 hours/day
- Wi-Fi connection standby – 1 hour/day
- Sleep monitoring – 6.5 hours/day
- Raise wrist to light up screen – 220 times/day
- Receive 130 messages/day
- Screen operation (various applications) – 20min/day
- Incoming call reminder 5s – 6 times/day
