OnePlus<\/a> is giving customers exactly what they\u2019ve been asking for: a smaller version of its Watch 3 smartwatch. With a 43mm case, the smaller Watch 3 will be better for those with smaller wrists than the one-size-fits-all 46mm model that launched last year to generally high reviews.<\/p>\n

The OnePlus Watch 43mm<\/a> launches next month on July 8 in the U.S. and Canada, but the gadget company hasn\u2019t announced pricing. With a smaller 1.32-inch display, we\u2019re expecting the daintier smartwatch to cost less than the $350 46mm model.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the OnePlus Watch 43mm really is just a shrunken version that\u2019s also thinner and lighter. OnePlus hasn\u2019t shared full tech specs yet, but here\u2019s what we know so far. It\u2019s got a stainless steel case (available in Black Steel and Silver Steel), two buttons (including a crown that will hopefully do something other than serve as a fidget button), and a \u201creal-time barometer\u201d that OnePlus says can \u201cevaluate your body\u2019s level of fatigue every 30 minutes, and by extension what that reflects about your mental state.\u201d The smartwatch also has stress-tracking with insights.<\/p>\n

\"OnePlusHey look, a handsome dude wearing the new OnePlus Watch 43mm. \u00a9 OnePlus <\/p>\n

The best feature on the OnePlus Watch 3 46mm is easily its long battery life, which can last up to three days or up to 16 days with its \u201cPower Saver\u201d mode turned on. OnePlus achieved this with a unique dual-chipset design that uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chip for most of WearOS\u2019s operations and a lower-power BES 2800 chip to maintain long standby time and background activities. Fingers crossed that the 43mm has solid battery life too, though its physically more compact design may mean less room for a battery cell or no room for dual chipsets. Guess we\u2019ll find out next month.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Watch 3 43mm, OnePlus also announced new OnePlus Buds 4 wireless earbuds<\/a>. These active noise cancellation (ANC) buds are coming out on the same day next month and, according to the company, sport \u201cbenchmark-setting, flagship-level sound quality,\u201d \u201cclass-leading hi-res audio and LHDC 5.0,\u201d and \u201cimmersive 3D spatial audio.\u201d Other improvements appear to be better noise cancellation for voice calls and a new \u201cadaptive mode\u201d that automatically switches between ANC and transparency modes. I keep thinking ANC wireless earbuds can\u2019t get better, but these incremental improvements show that there\u2019s still more runway, so okay! Pricing should be similar to the OnePlus Buds 3, which go for $100<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OnePlus is giving customers exactly what they\u2019ve been asking for: a smaller version of its Watch 3 smartwatch.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[1816,1685,8444,9844,53,16,15,85920],"class_list":{"0":"post-216759","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-audio","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-oneplus","11":"tag-smartwatches","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-wireless-earbuds"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114751525888597658","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
