OnePlus Watch 2
The second on the list is the OnePlus Watch 2, undergoing a departure from the square design, featured in the previous generation OnePlus Watch, as this variant will be based on circular design on the front. The gadget is expected to bring a 1.43-inch AMOLED display coupled with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels, with the display protected with IP68 dust and water protection. Listed at the price tag of $299, installed in it is a pack of frequently used connectivity options such as Bluetooth 2.4Ghz/2Ghz, Wi-Fi and GPS, alongside a heaping battery of 402 mAh that supports 10W charging.
rSIM (Resilient SIM)
Dropped networks has become more of a hassle these days, as you must have heard about the massive network disruption that cut off AT&T's services. To sort this up, MWC 2024 brought up the rSIM (resilient SIM), which automatically conducts a network testing every 60 seconds on your phone, and if it detects any issues expected, it switches the network over to another backup network. It is expected to cost you more than the traditional SIMs in the market.
ZapBox: The Vision Pro alternative
As the Apple Vision Pro comes with a high price tag, the ZapBox, revealed at the MWC 2024, provides a more budget-friendly VR experience. This compact headset is priced at $100 and serves as a housing for your phone. It includes an adjustable headset, lenses to secure your iPhone, and Bluetooth controllers. There is little delay when using it for AI, although navigating the apps can be a bit challenging. While using a phone for VR is not something efficient, the ZapBox introduces some innovative ways for app development that could set it apart.
