We’ve been anticipating the OnePlus Watch 3 for a little while now, and thanks to a couple of new leaks, OnePlus’ upcoming smartwatch just got a lot more exciting.

OnePlus is expected to launch two new smartwatches soon — including a regular OnePlus Watch 3 and a OnePlus Watch 3 Pro. Another recent report has highlighted the possible software features of these devices. Android Authority has uncovered details about the OnePlus Watch 3 and OnePlus Watch 3 Pro in the latest version of the OnHealth app.

According to the screenshots discovered, the OnePlus Watch 3 lineup is expected to support ECG functionality. It may also have the ability to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) and frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), as well as monitor both high and low heart rates. A wrist temperature function is also expected to be included.

Another highly anticipated feature is the 60-second Checkup, which scans for three major health risks: heart health, blood vessel elasticity, and sleep snoring. This feature utilizes seven health indicators to assess a user’s risk, including blood oxygen levels, ECG measurements, sleep data, vascular age, and more.

Android Authority also discovered that the companion app for the watch includes a Health tab with two main features: Health Insights and Health Journey. The Health Insights feature offers long-term insights on the app’s homepage, while the Health Journey feature highlights significant workout and health events for the day.

Assuming all these leaks are correct, the OnePlus Watch 3 should offer many more features than previous models.

On the hardware side, little is known about the OnePlus Watch 3 and the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro. Both, however, could include a rotary dial. How the watches compare to one another is also not known. Most likely, the two watches will differ more on the hardware, side but support similar software features.

The OnePlus Watch 2 launched in 2023. A more affordable OnePlus Watch 2R soon followed.

Your OnePlus 13 case comes with something odd you shouldn’t throw away

If you buy an official case for your OnePlus 13, you’ll find something unexpected in the box. It’s a sliver of flexible plastic, shaped like something you hang on a hotel room door when you don’t want the maid to come in, and although your first instinct will be to throw it away with the rest of the packaging, don’t do it.

You may end up needing it.

OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R globally, but rumors suggest it might have another phone up its sleeve. Leaks point to a smaller "OnePlus 13 Mini" on the horizon.

It was initially teased in December by Digital Chat Station, a reliable Chinese leaker. Specs for this compact powerhouse have now surfaced from the same contact (via Android Headlines). It is believed that the OnePlus 13 Mini could be a rebranded Oppo Find X8 Mini, a device that launched in China last year.

It’s 2025 and the OnePlus Pad 2 is still my favorite Android tablet

For decades, smartphones have progressively grown larger, and subsequently, so have tablets, and the lines between big phones and small tablets have grown progressively more blurry. Some companies make smaller phones or tablets, but these are exceptions to the rule.

A case in point is Samsung’s tablet portfolio. Samsung debuted the Galaxy Tab S10 series in October but dropped a replacement for the regular Galaxy Tab S9. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra pick up where their predecessors left off, but if you’re a Galaxy Tab S9 user, you’ll either have to buy the FE series or switch to an alternative.
