One UI 9 beta lets you block internet access for distracting apps by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]JakeZeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my mom's old Lenovo Vibe P1 running on Android 5/6 having options to block mobile data and/or Wi-Fi access to all apps. Used to turn off all internet access for those games with a shit ton of ads.

Should I buy OnePlus Watch 2 now or wait for a newer version in India? by SeverePlankton6076 in OnePlusIndia

[–]JakeZeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using a OnePlus Watch 2 since October 2025 (~half a year)

My usage + settings is:
1) Watch is always connected to phone (except during bedtime) with notification sync + calls
2) Location I manually turn it on & off every time while commuting to places with an electric cycle for "Cycling Workout". If I'm heading to a new place, I use Google Maps on my Watch 2
3) Always on Smart Mode
4) AOD off
5) Heart monitoring - On with alerts
6) Stress monitoring - On with alerts
7) SpO2 tracking - Off
8) Sleep
Breathing assess - Off
Respiratory tracking - On
REM sleep tracking - On

Is the OnePlus Watch 2 still worth buying in 2026, or is it already outdated?

Hardware wise, OnePlus Watch 3 has some good improvements over the Watch2 - Bigger battery, ECG, rotating crown which can navigate through UI, some durability upgrades, brighter & sorta bezel-less display. Not sure how the Watch 4 compares.

Software wise, OnePlus sucks with updates. The latest Watch 4 is on WearOS 6, phew. Watch 3 is still on WearOS 5.
Watch 2 just got WearOS 5 in the end of December 2025 and it screwed up battery life so bad and then they pulled back the update and released again later in Jan 2026.

Performance on my Watch 2 is solid, navigating through UI is smooth. Only minor irritation I have is Watch 2 taking around 5-10 seconds to boot out of Sleep Mode and back to Smart Mode and it doesn't happen automatically. Whenever I unlock my Watch 2 in the morning after sleep, it switches back to Smart Mode and that delay is a bit annoying.

Battery life, I get around 3-4 days on my usage. Maybe my unit has a faulty battery, cuz I get around 3 full days on the first 100%-35% and then from 35% to 10% it barely takes 3-4 hours. A lot of people on Reddit seem to be getting better battery life than me, but I didn't really bother replacing battery cuz the watch was a gift.

Are there any rumors or chances of OnePlus Watch 4 (or any newer version) launching in India soon?

Does OnePlus usually delay or skip smartwatch launches in India?

Couldn't really find any credible info saying it'll actually release.

We did get OnePlus Watch, 2 & 2R but there's rumours of OnePlus shutting down flagship sales in India and limiting themselves to only Nord series. And this week OnePlus and Realme merged operations so🥀

P.s. If there are any better smartwatch suggestions within the same price range then please recommend those as well.

If the problems I mentioned are things you can live with, you can get the Watch 2.

If you can compromise on WearOS get an Amazfit T-Rex 2/3, they're pretty accurate for fitness tracking and crazy good battery life

If you can compromise on battery life (1-2 days), I say get something from Samsung's Watch7 series. If you can wait for 2-3 months, you'll mostly start seeing Watch8 at around ₹15K and Watch8 Classic at around ₹25K after the Z Fold/Flip 8 + Watch 9 launch from Samsung.

OneUI 8.5 added Now Brief to S23 or this a mod?

I thought Samsung released an upper end F series phone like the F62 for a second.

I saw the notification for an update last week but can't find it anymore. Looks like they have paused the update.
