By revealing the size of the battery, the leak provides a tangible basis for OnePlus’ claims, offering insights into the technological advancements and innovations that underpin the device’s extended battery performance. This revelation serves to validate OnePlus’ commitment to delivering exceptional battery life, positioning the upcoming smartwatch as a frontrunner in the competitive wearable tech landscape.
Moreover, the leak not only provides clarity on the smartwatch’s battery capacity but also prompts speculation regarding the underlying engineering and design decisions driving OnePlus’ battery optimization efforts. As enthusiasts eagerly await the official unveiling of the device at MWC 2024, the leak serves as a tantalizing preview, offering a glimpse into the technological prowess and innovation that OnePlus aims to showcase with its latest smartwatch offering. With the stage set for OnePlus to unveil its highly anticipated wearable device, all eyes are on the company as it seeks to redefine the benchmarks for battery performance in the smartwatch market.
First reported by 9to5Google, an FCC listing could reveal how OnePlus claims to deliver market-beating battery life with its latest smartwatch. The FCC listing suggests that the OnePlus Watch 2 will have a rather large battery with a capacity of 500mAh, which the report claimed is about 64 percent larger than the one in the latest Pixel Watch 2 and about 20 percent larger than the Galaxy Watch 6’s (44mm) battery.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro still has the largest battery standing at 509mAh. OnePlus, in a recent forum post revealed that its Watch 2 will offer a 100-hour battery life in ‘Smart Mode’, which will set some new standards for smartwatches or raise the bar, if it ends up pulling off the same successfully. At the moment, it isn’t clear as to what ‘Smart mode’ does, but it’s clear that the watch will deliver the claimed battery life when used with this mode.
As per the FCC document, the OnePlus Watch 2 will use a pin-based charging system with four flat pins located at the bottom, which will connect to a charging adapter.Unlike the last OnePlus Watch and the OnePlus Nord Watch, which used a custom OS for software, the presence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 SoC hints at a WearOS-powered smartwatch, which will come as a relief for followers of the brand. A recent leak also hinted the same. With that in mind, it is expected to be far more capable than its successor.
OnePlus recently officially revealed the design of its upcoming smartwatch. It will be available in two colorways — Black Steel and Radiant Steel. Images of the wearable also show a large circular display with two pushers on the right side of the case. OnePlus claims that the Watch 2’s case is made from stainless steel and has a sapphire crystal protected display which should make it as tough as a regular timepiece.
