OnePlus CEO recently confirmed that OnePlus Watch that has been in the works will finally be introduced in 2021. Now a new rumour says that the company will release its first fitness band in Q1 2021, and it might arrive before the smartwatch.
This band is said to take on the Mi Band 5 with features like water resistance, an AMOLED screen, and long battery life. It will likely run a proprietary software similar to other fitness bands. We can also expect a heart rate sensor which is present in most fitness trackers, but it is not clear if it will have SpO2 or blood oxygen monitoring which is present only in few models.
Based on earlier rumours, the OnePlus 9 series will be introduced sometime in March 2021, but the OnePlus band is expected to launch a few weeks before that, so it could be by the end or January or early February. The OnePlus Band is expected to launch in India initially, similar to its TVs and expand to other markets later.
The OnePlus Band is rumoured to be priced around Rs. 3,000 ($40 approx.). We should know more details in the coming weeks.
