OnePlus held a conference last week and showcased the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. In addition to these two smartphones, we also had the right to officialize the manufacturer’s first watch, the OnePlus Watch. The main argument is autonomy, because we were promised up to two weeks.
OnePlus gave up a very practical feature in this type of product to offer something like this: always-on display mode. Some followers of the brand were disappointed with this choice and announced it on the forums. OnePlus has heard these requests and has confirmed that this mod may come in an upcoming update.
“We’ve heard a lot of user requests for the always-on-screen mode. We analyze how such a mod might affect autonomy and evaluate the possibility of adding it via a patch. »
OnePlus Watch wants to bet on autonomy
It’s true that the AoD mode is very battery efficient, but if it still lets you last a week instead of two weeks with the watch, it wouldn’t be so bad anyway. In any case, OnePlus has stated that its watch will benefit from fast charging and it will be possible to get a week of autonomy. with just 20 minutes of charging.
As a reminder, on the OnePlus Watch 1.39 inch round AMOLED display and it works under Smart Wear. Certified IP68 will focus on sports with 110 exercise modes. It will be available from April 26 at a price of 159 euros. Note that a sleeker Cobalt version will be available from May 17. In any case, the always-on-screen mode will not be available for now. To guarantee a better autonomy. A bit of a misfortune for an object that can tell the time at a glance without any intervention.
