OnePlus Fitness Band to Launch in India Early Next Year: Report
Dec. 31, 2020Citing insider sources, the report says that the OnePlus Band (or whatever it will be officially called) will arrive before the next year’s flagshipOnePlus 9 series. It will be unveiled in late January or early February.
OnePlus is modeling its fitness band after theMi Band 5. Not only will it be priced in the sub-$40 (~Rs. 3,000) price bracket but it will also support anAMOLED screen, water resistance, and multi-day battery life. The report does not reveal any of the other features. But, you can expect to find a heart rate sensor, a custom software (not Wear OS), and a few nifty OnePlus-exclusive features.
The addition of an SpO2 sensor or blood oxygen monitoring could help it differentiate itself from the Mi Band 5. There already are some fitness bands like Honor Band that support the feature though – at the same price point.
The report further adds that theOnePlus Band will first launch in India. It will make its way to global markets at a later date, maybe with the OnePlus 9 launch. This is the same strategy that OnePlus adopted with itssmart TVsearlier last year.
