OnePlus Watch 3 Mini
The OPPO Watch X2 Mini teased on OPPO’s official Weibo account, features a 43mm dial and an 18mm strap, making it noticeably smaller than the 47mm OnePlus Watch 3. The teaser showcases a gold design with a classic round dial and chamfered edges, described as “pure and shining, as bright as gold.” While full details remain under wraps, the design hints at a premium aesthetic that could appeal to a broader audience.
A Rebranded Global Release?
This move aligns with OnePlus’ recent strategy of rebranding OPPO smartwatches for global markets. The OnePlus Watch 3, currently available for pre-order, is essentially a rebranded OPPO Watch X2, sharing identical hardware and running Wear OS 5. If the leaks are accurate, the OPPO Watch X2 Mini could launch globally as the OnePlus Watch 3 Mini, offering a smaller alternative to the larger OnePlus Watch 3.
What to Expect
While specifics about the Watch X2 Mini are still scarce, here’s what we know so far:
A smaller 43mm case size, is ideal for users with smaller wrists.
A gold colorway with a refined, premium design.
Likely to feature a smaller battery compared to its larger counterpart, though OnePlus and OPPO’s dual-processor system could still deliver impressive battery life.
Addressing User Feedback
The potential launch of a smaller smartwatch comes after Dr. Leo Zhang, head of R&D at the OnePlus Health Lab, acknowledged that the OnePlus Watch 3 might feel heavy for users with smaller wrists. He hinted at a smaller model later this year, and the OPPO Watch X2 Mini could be the answer to that demand.
Global Launch Plans
According to leaks, the OPPO Watch X2 Mini is expected to launch in India and global markets soon, though an exact timeline remains unclear. This follows the cancellation of the OnePlus Watch 3 launch in India last month, suggesting that OnePlus may still have plans to cater to the Indian market with a smaller variant.
A Glimpse into the Future
If the leaks hold, the OPPO Watch X2 Mini could mark the beginning of a new trend in OnePlus’ wearable lineup, offering users more choices in terms of size and design. With its sleek aesthetics and compact form factor, the Watch X2 Mini could appeal to a wider audience, including those who found previous models too bulky.
