Chinese brands have been doing a very delicate job in terms of innovation. He started with Huawei, then Xiaomi, Realme, OnePlus, Oppo … All of them have shown that Koreans and American no longer have the technological quality monopoly. And, more importantly, that they listen to users. And that is precisely what happened with Oppo Watch X2, the last smartwatch of the Chinese house.
The previous version, the Watch X was an smart watch with Wear you quite solid, but that needed its own differential factor to compete with the greats. Well, it seems that Oppo has noticed it and took measures. For example, now It has advanced hardware functions and software adapted to competition With the great rivals of the moment: Samsung and Huawei. The icing on the cake is that Oppo has achieved all this without sacrificing the battery life (five days quietly), it even has the same price: € 349.
The general construction of the Watch X2 is very similar to that of the original Watch X, with differences of dimensions and weight of less than 1 mm and 1 g respectively. The bezel has changed to a titanium alloy, but the rest of the clock is still stainless steel. Size and architecture are taken to the masculine spectrum of watcheswith a profile that is analogous to that of Huawei Watch GT. And when I say analog not only I take advantage of the simile meaning, but also the analog: the Watch X2 seems like a holographic piece more than a set of programs. And that is good: it has the appearance of a classic and the brain of a future. What future? That is about to speak.
The screen is covered with sapphire glass, as before, but the Watch X2 now has A 1.5 -inch improved AMOLED screen With a maximum brightness of 1000 nits. If it seems little, Oppo has announced an update that will increase it to 2200 nits.
Inside, Watch X2 continues with The Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset (a guarantee), but with a very interesting novelty: A secondary processor updated to BES2800BP. Oppo calls it double chip and double architecture, where the Watch X2 works with both wear os 5.0 and rtos. The acronym, let’s be sincere, matter in this case. What this “double brain” does is take advantage of the fact that most of the time we use smart watches for sports measurements, respond quick calls, locate and little else.
Using less complex brain allows you to save energy and Watch X2 works with rs to give us more days of use. And, when we want to access the most complex applications, it will return to the complete wear mode. And this does this automatically.A differential factor that all smart watches should be able to do.
The Watch X2 now includes temperature and ECG sensors, in addition to the usual advanced multitrayect PPG sensor. Monitor sleep, respiratory patterns, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SPO2) and stress. Also It has fall detection and a new 60 -second health control function which offers an overview of all our statistics. This is important because the use of ECG in Wearables requires the regulatory approval of the competent body, which ensures that it is not a simple accessory.
To this we must add A low -consumption GPS chipset improved and double frequency GPS compatibility (More satellites to confirm our location, therefore, more precision). Another factor that has improved with respect to the previous generation and adds a lot of precision in training. All these details, added to the “two brains” facilitate a more lasting battery and a very efficient fast charge.
It should also be noted that the app Oppo Ohealth has improved slightly with a clearer interfacesession registration and data presentation on the training tab. It also includes a new health tab that shows combined health statistics. Yes, it is true that it requires some improvements to match the two mentioned above in their competition (Samsung and Huawei).
Verdict: OPPO has overcome the Watch X2. It is currently one of the three best Android smart watches in the market, both for benefits, as for battery, design and price. The blue belt makes it even more personal.
