OnePlus Watch 2R
Starting with the OnePlus Watch 2R, this is a variant of the OnePlus Watch 2. According to OnePlus, the Watch 2R has been designed to be a lighter and cheaper variant of the Watch 2. It features the use of an aluminum body versus the stainless steel body of the Watch 2. Thankfully, that’s the only area OnePlus “compromised” on.
The Watch 2R features the same 100 hour battery life, so you should be able to get about a week’s worth of use before needing to recharge it. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chipset and comes with all the health and fitness tracking features and sensors you might expect from a smartwatch.
In fact, OnePlus seems to have designed the Watch 2R with badminton enthusiasts in mind. It has tailored monitoring features to track things like your swing strength and speed. Other health features include sleep tracking and the ability to evaluate your stress levels. The OnePlus Watch 2R is priced starting at $229.99 and will be available on the 16th of July.
OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro

According to OnePlus, the Nord Buds 3 Pro features a hybrid active noise cancelation system. They claim that it can tune out up to 49dB of noise with a frequency range reaching up to 4,000Hz. The earbuds are also smart about what they cancel out, thanks to its Smart Noise Cancelation feature. This takes into account your current environment and it will choose the best noise canceling based on that.
The earbuds themselves feature a dedicated titanized 12.4mm driver. It supports BassWave 2.0 for those who prefer a bit more bass in their audio. Users can also pick and choose their sound as the OnePlus Master EQ will finally make its way into the Nord Buds 3 Pro.
