OnePlus is a constantly evolving brand. In the last period it is broadening its horizons with the creation of a economic series NORD , a line of wireless headphones and also by TV , without forgetting the iconic high-end OnePlus smartphones. The news doesn’t seem to end there, the co-founder and CEO of the company Pete Lau , through a post on Twitter announced the launch of the first smartwatch of the brand expected for the start of 2021 .
We have no further details on the operating system it will adopt and the selling price, but they will be revealed soon. Some rumors confirm that OnePlus is already working with Google to improve the operating system Wear OS , but this does not mean that it will be adopted on the new OnePlus smartwatch even if it remains an accredited hypothesis.
The idea of making a OnePlus smartwatch isn’t entirely new. The company had already designed a smartwatch years ago and it was very close to launch, subsequently discarded for corporate decisions.
OnePlus, follows in the footsteps of OPPO which, earlier this year launched its new smartwatch. Some rumors speak of a circular dial design similar to OPPO and vivo Swatch. As we know OnePlus was born from a rib of OPPO, and together they share the owner, the Chinese multinational BBK Electronics .
