There\u2019s a 466 x 466 pixel LTPO OLED display with Sapphire Crystal cover glass for protection and a 310 ppi pixel density. Users will get 600 nits of maximum brightness, but peak brightness in sports mode under strong sunlight can reach 3,000 nits.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_dm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_738_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_238_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The spec sheet confirms that the OnePlus Watch 4 comes with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 process and BES 2800 co-processor as the OnePlus Watch 2 and Watch 3 before it \u2014 there\u2019s sadly no upgrade to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/snapdragon-wear-elite-smartwatch-chip-3643432\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon Wear Elite<\/a> here. The Watch 4 comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There\u2019s also a 646mAh battery on board that promises three days of battery life under heavy use and up to 16 days in power save mode.<\/p>\n<p>Other tidbits on the Watch 4 include Bluetooth 5.2, dual-band L1+L5 GNSS, 2.4GHz\/5GHz Wi-Fi, and NFC, but explicitly no eSIM support. For protection, we have 5ATM, IP69, IP68, and MIL-STD-810H certifications.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"OnePlus Watch 4 2\"  alt=\"OnePlus Watch 4 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OnePlus-Watch-4_2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most surprising upgrade here is that the OnePlus Watch 4 comes with Oxygen OS Watch 8 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wear-os-6-stable-release-3574943\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wear OS 6.0<\/a> (based on Android 16) out of the box.

We hope the older watches also get the update soon, since all three generations of watches share the same processor. Gemini is also present out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>OnePlus Watch 4 pricing and availability\n<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"OnePlus Watch 4 Evergreen Titanium\"  alt=\"OnePlus Watch 4 Evergreen Titanium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OnePlus-Watch-4-Evergreen-Titanium.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"OnePlus Watch 4 Midnight Titanium\"  alt=\"OnePlus Watch 4 Midnight Titanium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OnePlus-Watch-4-Midnight-Titanium.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus Watch 4 will be available in two colors: Evergreen Titanium and Midnight Titanium. Pricing and availability remain unknown, though, so we\u2019ll have to wait for OnePlus to make a full announcement on this soon.<\/p>\n<p>For what it\u2019s worth, the OnePlus Watch 4 looks very similar to its predecessor, the OnePlus Watch 3. Key changes are a slightly lower weight and an IP69 rating. Given that the rest of the watch is the same, we\u2019re hoping OnePlus sticks to a similar $350 price tag as its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
