If true – which, and let’s be honest here, it looks like it is – this will be the first OnePlus fitness tracker. So, what will it be called? Well, Android Central believes it will be known as the OnePlus Band, a name I would give a solid 7/10 to. Descriptive, for sure. Exciting? Any less.

This, friends, is an excellent selection of specifications for a fitness tracker, but do you know what’s even better? That price converts to around $ 35 – a price similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Band 5, a market segment that the OnePlus fitness tracker obviously targets.
In terms of aesthetics, we also have a strong indication of what the band OnePlus will look like:

Yes, the OnePlus fitness monitor looks like any other fitness monitor, but what would you expect for $ 35? Fireworks? A holographic display? Wheels? This is a set of functional technology to do a solid job.
In terms of the release date, there is no official announcement. Agarwal believes it will be launched in India on January 11, and other experts are predicting a more global launch in the first quarter of this year. All we know for sure is that the OnePlus fitness tracker is set to make an already competitive segment busier than ever.
