It is rated for up to five days of use, or 16 days in its power saver mode, which dims its intelligence down to that of a fitness tracker. <\/p>\n<p>That is possible thanks to OnePlus\u2019s use of what it calls a Dual-Engine Architecture. The Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 runs the show in smartwatch mode, while a lower-power BES2800 can manage the sensors with lesser power drain in the power saver mode. <\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus Watch 4 is a 47mm diameter watch with a titanium outer casing, a plastic rear and Sapphire screen protection. It\u2019s a relatively high-end construction, while weight of 43g without strap matches the titanium edition of the 46mm <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/andrewwilliams\/2025\/09\/10\/apple-watch-series-11-blood-pressure-alerts-nail-one-essential-element\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/andrewwilliams\/2025\/09\/10\/apple-watch-series-11-blood-pressure-alerts-nail-one-essential-element\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Apple Watch Series 11\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Apple Watch Series 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It has a 1.5-inch OLED display, just like its predecessor, has resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. And while peak brightness is rated at 3,000 nits, highs of 1,500 nits are what will actually be seen outdoors in general use under bright, direct sunlight. <\/p>\n<p>Compared to the last-generation model, the OnePlus Watch 4 is lighter, thinner, and brighter. However, it also appears to lose the ECG feature of the OnePlus Watch 3. <\/p>\n<p>It has dual-band GPS, a barometric altimeter and the usual optical heart rate array with blood oxygenation readings, but there\u2019s no mention of <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/andrewwilliams\/2025\/01\/16\/garmin-fenix-8-owners-and-more-get-a-major-watch-upgrade\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/andrewwilliams\/2025\/01\/16\/garmin-fenix-8-owners-and-more-get-a-major-watch-upgrade\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"ECG\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ECG<\/a> on the spec sheet. Both generations are also 5ATM water resistant watches. <\/p>\n<p>Few OnePplus Watch 3 owners are likely to feel too much of a pull to upgrade to the Watch 4, then, but it is arguably a significant design tweak. And one that makes greater use of titanium to lower weight. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an obvious question of how much the OnePlus Watch 4 will cost. But there\u2019s a wider question over whether OnePlus will continue to have an active presence in the U.S. and Europe at all going forwards, and where the Watch 4 will be released at all. <\/p>\n<p>This is part of a restructuring of parent company Oppo, following the winding down of Realme in January 2026 \u2014 it was another Oppo sub-brand. I\u2019ll keep an eye out for more news on which countries will actually see the OnePlus Watch 4 in shops. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OnePlus is reportedly in the midst of leaving key western markets entirely, including the US and UK, but&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[64,63,213,26016,111530,67905,105,1785,306188],"class_list":["post-632305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-gadgets","tag-oneplus","tag-oneplus-watch","tag-oneplus-watch-3","tag-technology","tag-u-s","tag-wear-os-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
