OnePlus Band leaked as the companys first wearable, could debut alongside OnePlus 9 series in 2021

OnePlus Band could be the name of the first wearable from the company, as per the latest leak. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has already confirmed that they are planning to launch the rumoured OnePlus Watch in early 2021. The company could likely announce the OnePlus Band and Watch alongside the OnePlus 9 series that’s rumoured to launch in mid-March 2021.

According to a report by Android Central that cites insider sources, OnePlus Band has been pegged as the first smart wearable device by the company and will launch in Q1 2021 at a price of around $40. With this, OnePlus wants to go up against the Xiaomi’s affordable Mi Band fitness tracker range. The report indicates a price tag of under Rs 3,000 ($40) for the OnePlus Band that could debut in India first.

As per the information in the report, the OnePlus Band could be announced ahead of the OnePlus 9 series sometime in late-January or early-February. The OnePlus Band is said to share a lot in common with the Mi Band 5 with features like AMOLED screen, water-resistance and long battery life.

OnePlus Band could get announced ahead of the OnePlus 9 series

OnePlus has been very transparent about entering into the smart wearable segment and has been developing a smartwatch since 2015. OnePlus had a design for a smartwatch back in the day but shelved it to focus more on its smartphone ecosystem. Some earlier reports have tipped the OnePlus Watch to feature a round dial and will run on a WearOS system.

The company CEO Pete Lau has also stated that they are working with Google and want to improve the synergy between smart devices like televisions and smartwatches. The OnePlus Watch, as it is rumoured to be called, is due out in early 2021, but we still don’t know much about it since the company is keeping everything under wraps for now.

Nevertheless, we can expect OnePlus to launch multiple products across smartphones and smart wearables in early 2021. There could be individual launches planned for the next year, or it could happen alongside the OnePlus 9 series launch. We will know more about the OnePlus Band and OnePlus Watch in the coming weeks and will be sure to keep you updated.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
