As expected, OnePlus introduced a handful of devices in China. The star of the group is by far the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, the company’s first smartphone powered by a Glacier Battery. Still, there are a couple of other OnePlus devices that are worth mentioning separately.Apart from that, the difference between the two models is limited to design. The Chinese version comes with a new watch band and features a slightly different watch dial. Also, the overall aspect is more symmetrical compared to the initial version of the OnePlus Watch 2.
Of course, products are cheaper in China, and the new version of OnePlus Watch 2 confirms it. OnePlus announced that the smartwatch will be available for purchase in China starting July 3 for just CNY 1,799, which is about $250. In comparison, the global version goes for around $300.
