Health features

There is also a revamped GPS with a ‘circular polarized antenna,’ for improveed GPS maps in areas with tall buildings. It also has an EKG option which will arrive in Europe in Q2, 2025, but it hasn’t gone through FDA approval so it is not available in the US and Canada.
The OnePlus 60S Health Check-in lets you touch the side button and get a quick scan of your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, mental wellness, wrist temperature, sleep quality, and vascular age. The vascular health test measures arterial stiffness. The improved sleep tracking feature lets you track snoring patterns to assess breathing disruptions.
