This Android wearable lasts for days, and left my Samsung Galaxy Watch in the dust

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus Watch 3 normally retails for $350. Its long-lasting battery, durability, rotating digital crown, and superb design make this a compelling smartwatch. However, the OHealth app needs some work, workout data screens are limited, and ECG measurements are not supported.

TL;DR HONOR just announced the X70 phone, set to go on sale on Friday in China. Despite its $165 price tag, the HONOR X70 features a massive 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery and military-grade toughness. At 8.2mm, it’s about the same thickness as the iPhone 16 Pro. A $165 smartphone wouldn’t usually raise expectations about its specs, but one manufacturer clearly didn’t get that memo.

The Galaxy Watch 8 gets a key battery health feature that more smartwatches need

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-23 03:42:49

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8 series introduces a “battery protection” feature designed to extend the device’s battery longevity. The feature works by stopping the charge at 90% and only resuming it when the battery level drops down to 85%. This prevents the battery from sitting at a full 100% charge, which reduces stress and helps slow long-term battery degradation. Most people don’t upgrade their smartwatch every year, opting to keep their device unt
