The OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition is identical to the original OnePlus Watch and features a circular 1.39-inch display. However, the Harry Potter model allows you to customize the UI with new watch face options from Hogwarts houses such as Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Ravenclaw. OnePlus says that the watch strap is made of vegan leather. The case is touted to be corrosion-resistant, and it comes with Harry’s iconic lightning bolt scar etched on it and the power button.

The OnePlus Nord 4 has something I haven’t seen on a phone in ages
Is the OnePlus Nord 4 the best-looking Nord phone yet? It’s certainly the boldest and the first to do something really intriguing with the materials, too. The Nord 4 has an all-metal unibody, a way of manufacturing smartphones that has fallen by the wayside over the years after phones made using a blend of metal and glass became more popular.
What does having a metal unibody mean? It refers to a single piece of metal being machined so it's the entire chassis of the phone rather than sandwiched between the screen and another material like glass on the back. The first thing you notice is that the phone feels great in your hand. Because the curve of the chassis is uninterrupted by a switch between materials, it’s completely smooth and avoids any sharpness or uncomfortable ridges. Even the tiny antenna bands — the plastic inserts that assist with cellular and Wi-Fi reception — are flush with the surface, and you won’t notice them just through touch.
The OnePlus 13 may one-up the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15. Here’s how
The OnePlus 13 has gotten another tantalizing set of leaks -- including one thing that may give it a significant edge against the Samsung Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15. The latest news comes from Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, which posted that the OnePlus 13 will have IP69 water- and dustproofing.
This is a notch above the IP68 you get with most flagship phones and a big step above the IP65 that came on the OnePlus 12, which meant that it wasn’t rated to survive a dunk in water. An IP69 rating means that the OnePlus 13 will be one of the most durable phones on the market, and it’s certified to survive high-pressure and high-temperature water jets.
OnePlus has a small portfolio of wearables, particularly smartwatches. Despite its bankable hardware, the OnePlus Watch 2 that launched earlier this year had some evident cutbacks. These include the lack of LTE connectivity, the half-baked crown button, and the absence of now-standard health features such as ECG and body weight composition. With its next watch, OnePlus appears to be addressing some of those issues, a recent certification listing in China has revealed.
