OnePlus annnounces the OnePlus Watch 2R: a lightweight smartwatch with flagship features
OnePlus has unveiled the OnePlus Watch 2R during a summer launch event in Milan, Italy. The timepiece is a lighter and cheaper alternative to the OnePlus Watch 2 with the same flagship features, excellent battery life, and a classical yet modern look.
Apart from a classical and elegant yet modern design, the Watch 2R features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with an Always-on feature. Under the hood, you get the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip, paired with 2 gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of storage.
To ensure efficient power management for the timepiece, OnePlus has put in place a Dual-Engine Architecture for the Watch 2R and you get to use the Snapdragon W5 chip and the BES 2700 chip. This combo also ensures reliable and long battery life. Thanks to the second chip, you can use a Power Saver Mode that can give you up to 12 days of battery life!
With its 500 mAh battery, OnePlus claims the watch can go on for 100 hours of active use, which is actually epic. The company says that with intense use, such as GPS, making phone calls, and using apps, the smartwatch can last for 48 hours.
The Watch 2R has a slightly different look than the Watch 2 that launched back in March. It has an updated watch bezel, two round side buttons, and an updated watch band. On top of that, it's also 25% lighter than the Watch 2, which is great for something you're bound to wear all day long. The Watch 2R weighs just 37 grams thanks to its aluminum case.
