On July 8, 2025, OnePlus expanded its wearable technology lineup by launching the OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) and the OnePlus Buds 4. These new devices aim to provide users with enhanced functionality, comfort, and style.
OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm): Compact Design Meets Advanced Features
The OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) is a more compact version of its predecessor, designed for users who prefer a smaller, lighter smartwatch without sacrificing performance. Weighing just 37.8 grams, it offers a comfortable fit for various wrist sizes. The watch features a 1.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 2,200 nits, ensuring clear visibility in different lighting conditions. Protected by sapphire crystal glass and encased in a stainless steel chassis, it combines durability with elegance. The device is available in two color options: Silver Steel and Black Steel.
Under the hood, the OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) is powered by the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. This combination ensures smooth performance and efficient multitasking. Running on Google’s Wear OS 5, the smartwatch provides access to a wide range of apps and services. It also boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for various environments.
One of the standout features is the ‘Mind & Body Evaluation’ system. This includes a real-time barometer that assesses the user’s fatigue levels every 30 minutes, offering insights into both physical and mental well-being. The watch tracks daily stress patterns and provides personalized prompts to help manage stress effectively. Additionally, users can initiate guided breathing sessions with real-time feedback to promote relaxation.
In terms of battery life, the OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) houses a 354mAh battery, delivering up to 5 days of usage in smart mode and up to 16 days in power saver mode. This longevity is achieved through a dual-chip system that optimizes power consumption.
OnePlus Buds 4: Elevating the Audio Experience
Alongside the smartwatch, OnePlus introduced the Buds 4, a pair of true wireless earbuds designed to deliver high-quality sound and user-friendly features. Equipped with dual drivers—an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter—each with its own DAC, the Buds 4 offer a rich and immersive audio experience. They support Hi-Res LHDC 5.0 and 3D Audio, catering to audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
For gamers, the Buds 4 feature a 47ms ultra-low latency Game Mode, ensuring synchronized audio and visuals during gameplay. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 55dB allows users to immerse themselves in their music or calls without external disturbances. The earbuds are available in two color options: Zen Green and Storm Gray.
