Black Shark, famous for its gaming phones, has launched the Watch X Pro smartwatch in China. This release comes with the rugged Black Shark GS3 smartwatch, which includes a built-in flashlight. The Watch X Pro is priced at CNY 899 (approximately $123) and has various features tailored for the smartwatch market.
Features of the Watch X Pro
The Watch X Pro is designed with a 1.75-inch AMOLED screen that has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and reaches a peak brightness of 700 nits. This ensures that users can see the display clearly, even in bright sunlight.
Instead of using the typical Wear OS, the smartwatch operates on a customized Android-based system. This unique OS allows access to a range of apps from the Black Shark app store, giving users more options for personalization and flexibility.
Unique Camera Functionality
One of the most interesting aspects of the Watch X Pro is its 180-degree rotating camera, which is cleverly hidden in the crown. This 2MP camera can take high-definition photos and videos and can also be used for video calls, adding extra functionality that goes beyond regular smartwatch features.
In terms of connectivity, the Watch X Pro supports both Wi-Fi and 4G LTE. This means users can stay connected without needing their smartphones, making it a budget-friendly option among LTE smartwatches.
Impressive Battery Life
The smartwatch comes with a 900mAh battery, which can last up to 75 hours on just one charge. Additionally, it supports local music playback, allowing users to listen to their favorite songs directly from the device.
The company's intentions for launching this smartwatch in international markets are still unclear.
