Winner: OnePlus
It ’s not so much a profits , but a retrieval from a expiration here . Having added 52 % to the cost of the OnePlus Watch 3 earlier in April , thankfully the fellowship has check that people have been commit for less than that . Theprice is back to an almost normal level , albeit $ 20 gamy than originally planned ( stealthy ! ) . If you were fool enough for fork over the $ 500 , then you could get a $ 150 rabbet from OnePlus .
We ’re happy the fellowship has come to its good sense because theOnePlus Watch 3is ace . likely our favourite Wear OS watch of 2025 thus far .
In handing out a 4.5 star scotch from a possible five , our own Lewis Painter concluded : “ The OnePlus Watch 3 not only reparation the few complaint we had about last year ’s Watch 2 , but adds a swathe of new features and functionality , let in a more long-lasting intent , improve tracking , multiband GPS and a boost 120 - hour battery life that perfects the Wear OS 5 experience on offering . ”
Sadly it was n’t all amazing news on the OnePlus front . The troupe isstubbornly refusing to found the thick flagship OnePlus 13 thymine speech sound in Europeor the US . Perhaps we can hector them into another reversal ?
Loser: Xbox
bust out the Ace Ventura “ La - Hoo - Sa - Her ” gif for Microsoft this workweek after itdecided to hike the price on the Xbox Series S / X consoles , and put AAA secret plan Mary Leontyne Price up to $ 80 ( thanks for setting that case in point , Nintendo ! ) five twelvemonth into a contemporaries where it has absolutely failed to deliver a compelling mathematical product .
To do it on a Clarence Shepard Day Jr. where its stock skyrocketed because it made SO … MUCH … MONEY adds insult to injury . What possible motivation is there to corrupt a Series S for £ 50 more at this point , if you have n’t already ? Where are all the AAA exclusives do down the word of mouth ? Why would you buy hardware when most of the first - party game are on Game Pass , which is pretty much omnipresent these days ?
Go sit in the niche and take your ‘ litre ’ on the chin , Microsoft . And do n’t come out until you ’re sorry . If you ’re as angry as I am , you canhear me sound off in more detail here .
