The OnePlus Watch 2 is being tipped to launch next year

You may remember the OnePlus Watch that launched in 2021 and the budget OnePlus Watch Nord that came the year after in India – and though there hasn't been a OnePlus wearable this year, it seems that the OnePlus Watch 2 could be arriving in 2024.

This comes from regular tipster Max Jambor (via 9to5Google), who says that the watch will use a round face, like its predecessor, and that it will be "better" than the original – which you would expect really, after a two year gap.

We did hear a mention of the OnePlus Watch 2 last year, though back then it was slated for a launch at some point in 2022. That obviously didn't happen, or perhaps there was some confusion between the OnePlus Watch 2 and the OnePlus Watch Nord.

The OnePlus Watch Nord, which never got released outside of India, used a square face in the style of the Apple Watch, but based on this leak it would seem that OnePlus is going to stick to the same circular design for its main smartwatch line.

Very few details

Aside from the prediction that it's going to arrive in 2024 and that it's going to come sporting a round watch face, we really don't know too much else about the OnePlus Watch 2 in terms of either its design or its internal specifications.

One question is whether the wearable will run OnePlus Watch OS, like the original, or switch to Wear OS – the Oppo smartwatches run Wear OS, and Oppo and OnePlus are virtually the same company at this point.

We praised the "sleek looks and week-long battery life" and low price of the original OnePlus Watch, while also noting our frustrations that there were few third-party apps for the smartwatch, primarily because of OnePlus Watch OS.

Let's hope that the OnePlus Watch 2, when it eventually does see the light of day, improves in all the areas that need to be improved in. Perhaps we might even see it show up alongside the OnePlus 12 at the start of the year.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
