OnePlus is widely tipped to launch its first smart wearable, the OnePlus Band, in India next week. Ahead of the launch, key specifications and details about the Band have already leaked online.
The information comes courtesy of tipster Mukul Sharma who has hinted that OnePlus will launch a companion app, called OnePlus Health, along with the Band. This app will essentially serve as the link between the user’s phone and the device, collecting all the necessary data required for the Band’s functioning.
In the future, this OnePlus Health app is also expected to become the control center for other accessories from the company, such as the OnePlus TWS earbuds and the upcoming smartwatch. For now, we have no word on what the OenPlus Health app would be like or, for that matter, what features it will offer. But we can speculate that the app will provide information on essential things such as steps, calories burned, sleep data, activities, and more.
Features of the Band:
–It is suggested that it will come with sleep tracking, real-time heart rate monitoring, and water resistance.
–Additionally, the OnePlus Band will also come with blood saturation monitoring features.
–All of this will be accessed through a 1.1-inch touch display, and the Band will be kept alive using a battery that offers a 14-day battery life and 13 exercise modes, including Outdoor Run, Cycling, Cricket, Pool Swim, Yoga, and more.
Earlier, the OnePlus Band’s existence was also tipped by Android Central. In its report, the publication had claimed that the fitness tracker will be called the OnePlus Band and that it will precede the smartwatch that the company plans to launch in the coming months. The OnePlus Band is expected to serve as a competitor to the Xiaomi Mi Band series, one of the most popular products in the segment.
As per the report, the OnePlus Band will come with an affordable price of around $40 and, in exchange, bring with it an OLED display, water resistance, and multi-day battery life, as well as support for tracking basic fitness stats.
