Stylish and smart-ish.Choosing the best Android smartwatch looks a bit different for each person. We all have unique preferences and tastes, after all. The Garmin Lily is designed for women who want their smartwatch to look good and feel good while still being functional.

OnePlus tells Android Central it's partnering with Google on features for foldables in the upcoming OxygenOS 13.OnePlus's new OxygenOS 13, launching with Android 13 later in 2022, will be co-developed with Google and OnePlus fans, bringing a cleaner software experience that's closer to stock Android. But the company isn't settling for a mere visual refresh — there are new features coming to the next version of OxygenOS thanks to that closer partnership with Google.In a group interview with Android Central and other publications ahead of today's numerous OnePlus announcements, we asked OnePlus software lead Gary Chen what features the company was working on with Google for inclusion in OxygenOS 13. Speaking in Chinese through an interpreter, Chen told us that the co-development initiative with Google will include new privacy and security features, as well as the overall design — although since the software is in the early stages of development there's not much they can say abo...

OnePlus 10 Pro will launch with OxygenOS 12.1 out of the box in global markets.OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 10 Pro back in January, but the phone hasn't made its way outside China yet. One reason for this has to do with the software — OnePlus uses ColorOS 12 in China, so it didn't have to make too many modifications to launch the phone in its home market.OnePlus has now announced that it is launching the OnePlus 10 Pro to India, Europe, and North America starting in March. We don't have a launch date, but the phone should make its debut in the latter half of the month. What's interesting is that the phone will launch with OxygenOS 12.1 out of the box, with the update hopefully delivering bug fixes from the OxygenOS 12 build. The OnePlus 10 Pro has the potential to be one of the best Android phones from a hardware point of view, but we'll have to wait and see how the software holds up.In a media roundtable announcing the move, OnePlus co-founder and CEO Pete Lau said that the ...

The Nord 3 could be OnePlus's first phone with 150W fast charging.OPPO just introduced its 150W SuperVOOC fast charging standard, and it can fully charging a 4500mAh battery in just 15 minutes. OnePlus announced that it would introduce a device based on the 150W standard in Q2 2022, and while it didn't share further details, it's a good bet that the phone in question is the Nord 3.OnePlus has a busy launch schedule in Q2; it is rolling out the OnePlus 10R based on the Dimensity 9000, and a budget 5G phone in India and the UK that will be its most affordable to date.We're also due a Nord refresh in Q2, and this is the device that is most likely to pick up 150W fast charging. One of my insider sources at OnePlus suggested that the Nord 3 is based on the Realme GT Neo 3, which has the same 150W charging tech. While I wasn't able to verify the information with a second source, OnePlus has used Realme designs in the past for its Nord series, and as such it is a distinct possibilit...

OxygenOS 13 will deliver a 'light and clean experience that is close to stock Android.'For the last six months, OnePlus faced a torrent of backlash from its userbase for the changes it made to OxygenOS. The Chinese manufacturer merged its software codebase with OPPO's ColorOS in a bid to deliver faster updates, and in doing so, it got rid of its primary differentiator: clean software that's well-optimized for its hardware.We got a first look at this integration on the Nord 2 with OxygenOS 11.3 , but it wasn't until OxygenOS 12 that we got a clearer understanding of what OnePlus had in store. OxygenOS 12 ended up being a rebranded version of ColorOS 12, but OnePlus wasn't able to refine the software for its devices, and as a result, OxygenOS 12 had dozens of bugs. Even though the stable OxygenOS 12 build launched at the end of last year — after several months of beta testing — it had device-breaking bugs that are still being fixed.In short, OnePlus went from having the best ...

OPPO is also debuting a Battery Health Engine feature that increases battery longevity.OPPO was one of the first manufacturers to bring fast charging to its phones; the 2014 Find 7 could charge at 20W, and it set the foundation for the VOOC standard that made its way to several OPPO phones and OnePlus devices under the Dash Charge label. For the last two years, OPPO has offered 65W SuperVOOC on its flagship and mid-range phones along with OnePlus and Realme devices.OPPO introduced an updated 125W standard last year, but we haven't seen many devices that leverage the tech. For 2022, OPPO is introducing its most ambitious update with 150W SuperVOOC. OPPO claims that the 150W charging tech can fully charge a 4500mAh battery in just 15 minutes, less than half the time taken with the 65W standard (38 minutes).But what's just as interesting is the fact that you'll be able to get a 50% charge from flat in just five minutes. Like all VOOC implementations, the 150W tech uses OPPO's cu...
