OnePlus OneWatch leaked in photos

Smartwatch is becoming the most competitive sight for all companies. With giants like LG, Samsung and Motorola jumping in with their smartwatch it seems like the Chinese startup OnePlus is also not far behind. Recent reports from BGR India clearly shows the company’s plan for OnePlus OneWatch.

OnePlus already made quite a buzz in the smartphone market and now it’s headed for the same in the smartwatch market too. The sketches display an OLED display with a sapphire glass. The leather strap houses a curved battery and unlike the traditional watch it even has a crown to configure it. It has Qi wireless charging making it rise above the charging problems faced by LG and Samsung’s watches.

In terms of design, it has a round display and if the sketches are true than it might be a thing of beauty, even more than (the most beautiful smartwatch at present i.e.) Moto 360. It might be running Android Wear or as the OnePlus One was running CyanogenMod version of Android, it might not be a big surprise if we see some different UI above Android Wear.

As the competitive pricing strategy of the company, this watch might come at a reasonable price. With the company’s plan to launch OnePlus One in India, we might expect it to launch soon in India as well. If the sketches are taken to be true then we would want to see it soon.

OnePlus One finally marching towards India

Just after the launch of Xiaomi in India, there is a buzz that the flagship killer device OnePlus One may officially arrive in India. After the launch, this phone has created quite a buzz in the tech community because of its high-end specifications and a low a price. Though India was not on the initial launch list but the sources say that with the increasing attention in the Indian market they are not going to miss the opportunity.

...

The OnePlus One runs on CyanogenMod 11S based on Android KitKat 4.4. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz quad-core chipset and has an Adreno 330 GPU. It has 3GB RAM and is available in 16GB and 64GB variants. It has a 13MP camera with Sony Exmor IMX 214 sensors and a 5MP selfie camera. It even captures 4K video and also slow motion at 720p resolution at 120 fps. It sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display and has Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

With all these specs one would think it to be at a price level of HTC One M8 or Sony Xperia Z2. It’s even cheaper than Moto X. The 16GB variant costs $299(`17,900) and 64GB costs $349(`20,900). Well it’s definitely going to kill all the smartphone below 20K.

“Over the past months, we’ve seen tremendous interest from India, despite not having launched there. We have many customers in India purchasing to the US, and then asking a friend to bring it over or trans-shipping it. Some have even purchased the device from scalpers. Looking at our traffic, India ranks number 8, outweighing many of our launch countries.”

Well it seems like Indian market is going to be flooded with the best smartphones in the mid segment giving a hard time to the customers to decide. But they will be having a lot of choices. There is Xiaomi, Moto, Asus, Jolla, and the list continues.
