Fresh leaks point to a compact version of the Oppo Watch X3, likely aimed at users who liked the main model but found it a bit too big for daily wear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/8e1338b7f1ec3f00201a1da5bbd681db-scaled-e1751984009564-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus Watch 3 43mm\" class=\"wp-image-696014\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The standard Watch X3, which recently launched in China, leans heavily into the premium side. It brings a titanium build, a bright 1.5-inch LTPO OLED display, and the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip, along with features like ECG and skin temperature tracking. Battery life is also a strong point, especially in power-saving modes. It\u2019s clearly positioned as a flagship smartwatch.<\/p>\n<p>Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, Oppo is also working on what\u2019s being referred to as the Watch X3 Mini. The name isn\u2019t confirmed, but the idea has been floating around for a while, and this latest mention makes it feel a bit more real.<\/p>\n<p>If Oppo sticks to its earlier approach, the Mini version will likely focus on making the watch easier to wear for longer periods. That usually means a smaller case and display panel, probably somewhere in the 1.3 to 1.4-inch range. A slightly smaller battery is also likely, which could impact overall endurance a bit. These trade-offs aren\u2019t unusual, though, and for many people, the more comfortable size matters more.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still no clear word on when it might launch. Some earlier reports mentioned April, but nothing solid yet. Global availability is also a question mark. Oppo has reworked similar models under the OnePlus brand before, so there\u2019s a chance this could follow a similar path.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"595\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-22-134939.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-731525\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>For now, it looks like Oppo is trying to cover both ends: large, feature-packed wearables and something a bit more compact. If this Mini version does arrive, it could end up being the more practical choice for a lot of users.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss a thing!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/gizmochinaofficial\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Join our Telegram community<\/a> for instant updates and grab our<a href=\"https:\/\/gizmochina.beehiiv.com\/subscribe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> free daily newsletter<\/a> for the best tech stories!<\/p>\n<p>For more daily updates, please visit our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> News Section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/status\/5278933471461600\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DCS on Weibo<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oppo could be preparing to add a smaller option to its smartwatch lineup.
