OnePlus, once known for its ‘flagship killer’ smartphone models, isn’t the same company anymore. Deviating from its usual path of releasing just two ‘affordable flagships’ every year, the company, in 2019-20, diversified into several new segments; televisions, wearable audio and budget smartphones. OnePlus intends to follow a similar path this year and recently added one more segment to its repertory; fitness trackers. Say hello to OnePlus’ newest product; the One Plus Band. As of February 5, 2021, the OnePlus Band is exclusively on sale only in one country; India.
AMOLED display, a seemingly never-ending battery life, and a feeling as though it is barely there when you sleep – did Samsung accidentally send me the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 as a review unit? Of course not! However, at first glance, Samsung seems to have taken aim at Xiaomi’s hugely popular fitness tracker with the Galaxy Fit 2. This review also points to how Samsung’s heart rate monitor has improved when it comes to (more) accurate pulse taking.
Smartwatches have definitely gained traction as a decent alternative to an actual timepiece over the years, but there is still room for improvement. With the release of Huawei’s Watch GT2 Pro, will the wearable tech landscape change or is it just another run-of-the-mill device? Let us dive deeper into the review to find out.
Fitbit offers an integrated GPS module, mobile payment capability, and long battery life in the Fitbit Charge 4. These are features that are certainly not found in every fitness tracker and were missing in the previous model. Whether these make the Charge 4 the ultimate fitness tracker or not, and what do I mean by expensive in the headline, will be delved in deeper detail in this review.
One of the main features of the new Apple Watch Series 6 is the blood oxygen sensor. Exactly this one is now causing further trouble for the smartwatch manufacturer.
OPPO seems to be well on its path to transition from a pure smartphone manufacturer to makers of wearables and ‘smart devices’. The well-known smartphone giant has released several non-smartphone products this year – some of which we at NextPit had the opportunity to test. Among the most significant wearable products they launched in 2020 include the new Enco lineup of earbuds and, of course, the new OPPO Watch – which also happens to be OPPO’s first-ever attempt at a full-fledged smartwatch.
What is new with Apple’s watchOS 7? For starters, it will allow you to share watch faces with others easily. In this post, we will show how you can let those creative juices flow in order to conjure and share your creations with your family and friends.
Apple made it clear from the beginning of the evening: today we are talking about two products – the Apple Watch and the iPad. No new iPhone. During the live keynote, Apple introduced the new Apple Watch Series 6 and a brand new product line within its smartwatch range: the Apple Watch SE.
When it comes to fitness and health wearable devices, the Apple Watch is considered by many to be a high-end purchase. But you don’t have €450 ($530) or more to splurge on a smartwatch with a similar set of useful features should you want a wearable device that ticks all of the right boxes. Today, the hybrid timepiece known as the Withings ScanWatch will launch, where it comes complete with a whole range of health features without passing the €300 ($355) mark. I was able to get my hands on one ahead of its official release and would like to share my first impressions with you.
