The multi-device interconnection ecosystem is finally here! OnePlus loT family bucket hands-on experience

[Gearbest Review]With the development of smart devices now, it is no longer a competition of single performance and experience, but more on the ecological level of the brand. For manufacturers, the device ecosystem can increase users’ stickiness; for users, it makes cross-device operations more efficient and convenient.

For the OnePlus brand, under the concept of “product strength first”, its mobile phone products can be regarded as benchmark representatives in the industry, both in terms of hardware performance and software tuning. At the OnePlus summer performance ecological new product launch conference on June 27, in addition to the new mobile phone product OnePlus Ace3 Pro, OnePlus finally brought its first tablet product, as well as an updated watch series after many years. At this point, the OnePlus loT family has finally gathered together.

The ultimate of “OnePlus”, the first tablet is still “not gentle”

In the Android camp, the performance of tablets seems to have always lagged behind that of mobile phones. The most advanced flagship chips are often exclusive to flagship phones, while tablets will only be equipped with chips from the previous generation. This is unacceptable to OnePlus. Therefore, the OnePlus Tablet Pro, OnePlus’ first tablet product, is groundbreakingly equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which is currently the most powerful Qualcomm chip. It truly breaks the user criticism that the performance of Android tablets is “outdated upon arrival” and refreshes the performance upper limit of Android tablets.

In order to feel the real performance of this OnePlus Tablet Pro, the author directly started “Thanos” and tested the frame rate performance of “Honkai Impact: Star Rail” through the PerfDog performance dog test. In the end, during the half-hour test, the average frame rate of OnePlus Tablet Pro was 59.3FPS, and during the entire process, except for normal frame drops caused by entering and exiting the battle screen, the frame rate was basically relatively stable.

In addition, compared to mobile phones, the biggest advantage of tablets is their large screens. In response to this advantage, OnePlus Tablet Pro brings native rendering 2.1K ultra-high quality “Genshin Impact”. It can be seen from the game screenshots that on a 12.1-inch screen, the details of Xingqiu’s face are still clearly visible, and the various decorations and patterns on the clothes are still very delicate.

It is worth mentioning that the 12.1-inch screen of the OnePlus Tablet Pro adopts the golden ratio of 7:5 in size ratio. Compared with the conventional 16:10 and 3:2 screens, it can display more and more comprehensive content, and the “three opens on the same screen” function further improves the utilization of this screen.

In addition, 3K resolution, 144Hz gaming-level refresh rate, peak brightness of up to 900nit, and hardware-level low blue light eye protection and Rheinland Smart Eye Protection 3.0 certification also belong to this OnePlus Tablet Pro. It can be said that in terms of Android tablet screens, OnePlus Tablet Pro is top-notch.

With the improvement of hardware performance and the improvement of software suites, tablets are no longer just entertainment devices, and productivity attributes are becoming more and more important. As an existence between mobile phones and computers, the first direction for tablet products to improve productivity attributes is interconnection capabilities.

Compared with the traditional way of realizing interconnection functions by clicking, OnePlus Tablet Pro can realize conference transfer, mutual file transfer or screen mirroring with just one touch. In addition, OnePlus Tablet Pro also supports cross-ecological interconnection. Regardless of whether your computer system is MacOS or Windows, in an Internet-connected environment, as long as you log in to your Huantai account, you can achieve cross-screen interconnection with the tablet.

For tablets, the second direction to improve productivity attributes is to match them with simple and easy-to-use office accessories. Therefore, among the accessories of the OnePlus Tablet Pro, a stylus with 0g ink output and 16,000-level pressure sensitivity makes your writing feel realistic and smooth. The split full-scenario keyboard can adapt to your typing needs in different scenarios.

It is worth mentioning that the OnePlus Tablet Pro also supports Communication Sharing 2.0 technology. Through this function, users no longer need to spend extra money to buy a “cellular version” of the tablet, and they also do not need to use mobile phone hotspots to obtain network signals, and the power consumption is about 30% lower than turning on a hotspot.

The long-awaited OnePlus Watch 2 is independent and smart

As a new masterpiece of OnePlus in the watch series, OnePlus Watch 2 uses the current ceiling combination of wearable product chips in the basic hardware – 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen1 and 12nm Hengxuan 2700. Therefore, the computing power and response speed of OnePlus Watch 2 are top among all wearable products.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to the blessing of UDDE dual-engine hybrid technology 3.0, this OnePlus Watch 2 has the dual experience of full intelligence and long battery life. Compared with the battery life of conventional full smart watches that can be charged once a day, the OnePlus Watch 2 can have a long battery life of 4 days in full smart mode. According to the author’s usage habits, even charging once a week is not empty talk.

In daily use, the author also found that this OnePlus Watch 2 is very “independent”. Because compared to ordinary smart watches that are attached to a mobile phone for use, this mobile phone can be completely thrown aside and used independently. First of all, OnePlus Watch 2 supports independent eSIM, so it can be used online without a mobile phone network. Secondly, OnePlus Watch 2 also supports WeChat Watch, and WeChat accounts can independently log in and send and receive messages. Finally, whether it is a mainstream map app or an entertainment app such as audio, OnePlus Watch 2 basically has watch-side software adaptation.

In addition to being independent and smart, this new watch also has many convenient functions. For example, my favorite gesture control allows you to answer/hang up calls, open apps, switch songs, and postpone alarms by simply clenching your fist twice.

When it comes to sports and health, where wearable devices first made their mark, OnePlus Watch 2 has directly entered the “Next Level”. First of all, in terms of hardware, it uses an 8-channel heart rate sensor and a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor. With the support of these two top flagship sensors, the accuracy of measurement data can be ensured. Then, coupled with OnePlus’ self-developed algorithm model, the OnePlus Watch 2’s exercise heart rate detection accuracy is comparable to that of a heart rate belt.

In addition, in this update of the OnePlus loT family bucket, the OnePlus Buds 3 released as early as the beginning of this year also brought a new color-khaki green. Paired with the OnePlus Tablet Pro in khaki green, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro in green field green, and the OnePlus Watch 2 in Nebula green, it can be called the best-looking combination for the OnePlus family.

write at the end

　　For a brand, the closed-loop ecological chain formed by the interconnection of multiple devices will greatly enhance the “stickiness” of users. After all, choosing other devices of the same brand as the mobile phone is already the top priority for many users, because the easy-to-use “Family Bucket” experience can indeed make people “hard to return once used.”
