OnePlus now has a smart band. Maybe, it was among the few things missing in its smart portfolio. The OnePlus Band certainly plugs that gap for the company and could be the start of a series of bands and smartwatch, the latter being a better brand fit in my books.
So what is different about the OnePlus Band? Well, not much. In fact, the OnePlus Band is a very normal looking band with a colour display, comfortable strap and battery life that lasts 14 days. All features that would have awed you three years back. For 2021, the band comes with the ability to measure SPO2 and heart rate almost realtime.
The OnePlus Band has a vibrant 1.1-inch AMOLED display with touch. There are no buttons on the tracker and you have just screen to touch into apps and swipe back to get to the main screen. This can be a bit frustrating initially, but you will get the hang of it. The band itself is basic, but comfortable to wear for long hours or take to bed.
