OnePlus Band India Launch Confirmed for January 11
The rumors were true: the OnePlus Band will be unveiled on January 11 at 11 a.m. India, marking the company's entry into the wearable space with an affordable fitness tracker. This is what we know. Late last year, OnePlus confirmed that it was working on a Wear OS smartwatch that will launch in a few months. Pending more information on when the OnePlus Watch will be announced, it looks like the OnePlus Band will be its first foray into wearables. It is expected to be priced at around Rs 2.799, up against the Xiaomi Mi Band 5.

Introducing the new face of fitness. Staying in shape has never been so easy. OnePlus Band #SmartEverywearDropping 11am IST | January 11 Be notified: https://t.co/tyxlW6cRmE pic.twitter.com/Opuo3E2lTc January 8, 2021 OnePlus Band is already listed on Flipkart and Amazon, revealing more information about its design and features. It will have a familiar capsule-shaped main body in the middle of a replaceable flexible silicone strap. Out of the box it will have a black stripe, but other colors like orange, blue and gray will also be available. At the front will be a high-resolution OLED touchscreen with a logo on the bottom bezel, while the rear will have the continuous heart rate monitor and SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen saturation levels. The entire package will be IP rated for dust and water resistance, so rain or sweaty workouts shouldn't be a problem.

<p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:99.88%;"> The OnePlus Band will be able to track 13 different exercise modes, including running, walking, swimming, cycling, cricket, yoga, badminton, and more. Standard features like step tracking and sleep tracking will also be present. You will also be able to control media playback on your phone. Battery life is estimated to be around 14 days, which is on par with the competition. Until 2020, smartwatches and activity trackers became increasingly popular as people began to take their health more seriously. It remains to be seen how OnePlus will take on established players like Xiaomi, Amazfit and Realme in this space. A few weeks later, in March, the flagship OnePlus 9 series is expected to be unveiled. Perhaps we'll see the OnePlus Watch share the stage at the same event.
