OnePlus Unveils New Tech: What's Worth Your Attention?

OnePlus has just rolled out five new gadgets, but not all are coming to the US. The company is introducing a smaller Watch 3 and new Buds 4 earbuds stateside, while the rest will be available in Europe and India. The Watch 3 now comes in a 43mm size, addressing a common complaint about its previous bulky design. This new version is lighter and thinner, but the battery life has taken a hit. It lasts about 60 hours, which is half of what the bigger model offers. It runs on Wear OS and includes new features like reproductive cycle tracking and a wellness score that uses the watch's barometer to measure fatigue. The Buds 4 earbuds are affordable and support both Hi-Res and spatial audio. They come in green or gray and have a unique concave touch surface for easier control. They are priced at $129. 99 in the US. The Nord 5 is a midrange phone with a focus on gaming, featuring a 144Hz OLED display and a 50-megapixel selfie camera. It's a big phone but feels light and slim. The Nord 5 also introduces a new customizable button called the Plus Key, replacing the classic Alert Slider. The Nord CE 5 is a more affordable version with some compromises, like a slower chipset and lower screen resolution. Lastly, the Pad Lite is a budget-friendly tablet with an 11-inch 2K display and a large battery. It's priced at €229 / £199, with an option to upgrade for more RAM, storage, and LTE support.
