Hate how big the OnePlus Watch 3 is? I tried the smaller 43mm version, and it’s almost perfect

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-07 17:00:47

Joe Maring / Android Authority Since its launch earlier this year, the OnePlus Watch 3 has only been available in a single (and large) 46mm case size. While I love the big, bulky design, that’s not true for everyone, and understandably so. Seemingly in direct response to that, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus Watch (43mm). The OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) is exactly what the name suggests: a repackaging of the OnePlus Watch 3, but in a smaller 43mm-sized case. If you like the specs and features of t

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority In mid-June, a Samsung official hinted that the company might soon monetize parts of the Samsung Health experience, likely by placing future AI-enhanced features behind a paywall. Personally, I don’t mind paying for a service if it adds value to my life — what’s more valuable than good health? However, paying to unlock more features won’t fix the existing issues with the platform. To be fair, I don’t dislike what Samsung is doing with Health. The current expe

The U.S. House made it official Thursday, passing the so-called Big Beautiful Bill in a vote of 218-214. The bill, hailed by President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, is projected to strip at least 17 million people of health insurance over the next decade and add $3-4 trillion to the national debt. And while there are plenty of predictions about what the massive cuts to Medicaid will do to hospital systems around the country long term, we won’t have to wait too long to see the impact. Me

Senate Republicans on Tuesday passed President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax and spending package, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” paving the way for a major overhaul of the country’s Medicaid program.
