Oneplus watch 4 leak: familiar specs, questionable value

A fresh leak from Google Play Console reveals a disappointingly iterative design and underwhelming specifications for the OnePlus Watch 4, suggesting it’s largely a rebranded Oppo Watch X3.

A minor upgrade, mostly

The wearable, currently sporting a 466x466 resolution display and a Snapdragon Wear W5 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM, appears to offer little in the way of innovation. While the leak points to a 646 mAh battery – mirroring the X3 – and potential availability in the UK, EU, and Poland, the overall package feels remarkably similar to the OnePlus Watch 3, save for that marginal battery reduction.

The price point is the real question

Rumors suggest the Watch 4 will arrive at a price comparable to its predecessor, a move that, frankly, feels unnecessary. It’s a subtle refresh, at best. The fact that it’s essentially a global version of the X3 – launched last month in China – further dampens expectations. Honestly, the incremental changes aren’t justifying any price adjustment.

A silver lining?

There’s a glimmer of hope in the form of potential retail variants, including a “Evergreen Titanium” model with a dark gray case and blue band. But until OnePlus delivers a compelling reason to upgrade – and a price tag to match – this feels like a missed opportunity. They need to demonstrate significant value beyond just a new nameplate.

Final thoughts

The OnePlus Watch 4 risks becoming a footnote in the smartwatch landscape. It’s a testament to the difficulty of generating excitement with iterative hardware. Let's hope OnePlus can offer a truly compelling proposition before the official launch.
