Yesterday knew that OnePlus has decided to set aside his par project to launch a smartwatch. It is not a simple decision about a hypothetical idea hit the market, but it also as clarified by the head of the firm, it’s a decision taken when the design of the intelligent clock was practically finished. It seems that this decision and the other manufacturers behind is one some mistrust in the future of Android Wear as an operating system.
We had already heard talk about the Onewatch, the wearable in form of intelligent clock OnePlus took time to develop. Same Pete Lau, the head of OnePlus yesterday confirmed that his firm will launch any Smartwatch at least in the short to medium term. And all this taking into account that the wearable design was already very advanced. It seems that the decision carried OnePlus to withdraw from the race to manufacture its own smartwatch is the uncertainty surrounding the system Googlewatch.

OnePlus wants to do things right and focus on the market of mobile phones that Yes ensures a significant volume of sales and which at the moment is infinitely stronger than of the wearables. This new news about the “cancellation” of the smartwatch OnePlus joins the information have known the last few days and that have focused on the refusal of Samsung to manufacture more smartwatch Android Wear.
Android Wear and his token presence in the market
For all we know that Samsung has bet everything on your mobile OS Tizen to feed their wearables, and that at the moment the move is working you very well. In fact is such the success of these devices for Samsung sales represent almost half of the Android Wear. When we see the sales of smartwatches in the first quarter of 2016, the result is devastating.

We talked about that aside from Apple that leads with clearance sales, Samsung has sold 600,000 units of its smartwatches with Tizen compared with 1.4 million sold by which reports are called as “other” operating systems, within which includes Android Wear. Google’s system has so little weight that even it has its own share in the reports, including within these other operating systems, where for example Pebble has a great weight. With all this, it is easy to understand the little relevance and trust that today provides Android Wear to potential manufacturers, especially those of Android phones.
