OPPO is releasing the OPPO Watch X in Singapore. The company’s latest flagship smartwatch will be available island wide from March 2.

The OPPO Watch X runs on Wear OS by Google. It has an industry-leading 100 hours of battery life, and up to 12 hours on Power Saver Mode.

With Wear OS 4, the Watch X comes with smart connectivity, and is able to support apps from Google Play.

Smart personal trainer

OPPO’s newest smartwatch features dual-frequency GPS, able to receive both L1 GPS and G5 GPS signals. It uses two separate antennas for each GPS signal to improve the precision and reliability of positioning. Users will benefit from this especially when running, cycling, or even hiking and exercising where GPS coverage is poor.

The Watch X comes with multiple sensors, including a high-precision accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer for more consistent tracking. Runners will also love the watch’s added running posture recognition function.

This detects aspects like a runner’s ground contact time, balance between the left and right foot, step frequency, stride length, and more. This will allow runners to improve their posture in real-time.

Moreover, the device comes with exclusive sports modes, like a dedicated badminton mode developed by OPPO. Under this mode, the watch provides a deep post-match analysis, giving users more insight into aspects like their swing speed and strength.

Smarter health management

The OPPO Watch X is accompanied by more accurate 8-channel heart rate and 16-channel blood oxygen sensors. These can monitor sleep breathing rate, blood oxygen level, heart rate, body movement, and more.

When used over time, the Watch X can give users in-depth weekly sleep tracking reports accessible through the OHealth app.

Furthermore, the Watch X and OHealth app now support Health Connect by Android. This allows a central hub in Android 14 to manage data permissions from multiple apps and devices.

Versatile apps, seamless sync

Since the OPPO Watch X runs on Wear OS 4, users can benefit from various Google apps, including Assistant, Maps, Wallet, and Play. Google Maps has been optimized for Wear OS so users can navigate effortlessly.

They can also manage transportation-related tasks with Google Wallet passes for Wear OS. With Google Play, they can even download Gmail and WhatsApp and stay connected.

Using Fast Pair, users can also pair the wearable with an OPPO or another Android smartphone. When paired, they will be able to answer or reject calls, control music, and reply to messages from their wrists.

Industry-leading endurance

Lastly, the Watch X features a 1.43-inch AMOLED 60Hz display. This screen is protected by a 2.5D sapphire crystal cover for scratch and fingerprint resistance.

The device carries a large 500mAh battery and supports Flash Charging for multi-day use. It lasts up to 100 hours on Smart Mode, and up to 12 hours on standby time. It can be fully recharged in just an hour, and provide an additional day in just 10 minutes of charging.

Inside the watch are two separate chipsets: A Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 SOC and a BES2700 MCU. These two work in tandem with Wear OS. The Snapdragon chip takes care of high-performance operations. Meanwhile, the counterpart is utilized for tasks like notification display or answering phone calls.

Price, availability, offers

The OPPO Watch X is available in Platinum Black and Mars Brown starting at SG$ 499.

It will be available for purchase starting March 2 on the OPPO online store, concept stores, authorized partners, and iShopChangi. Customers may also visit the brand’s official Lazada, Shopee, TikTok, and Qoo10 shops.

OPPO is likewise offering an instant rebate of up to SG$ 50 with every purchase, and a Watch X Nylon Strap.

TikTok finally gets a buyer in the United States

The deal targets a closing date in late January.

The year started with a ban. A day before Donald Trump started his second term, TikTok went dark, in anticipation of an impending ban. The platform quickly went back online, leading to an ultimatum that saw TikTok hunt for an American buyer to full stave off a definitive ban in the United States. Now, as the year ends, a buyer is finally here.

Via CNBC, TikTok has reportedly inked a deal to finalize a deal in the United States, as stated in an internal memo from CEO Shou Zi Chew. The memo, which was sent just this week, details a plan that will see the deal close by January 26, 2026.

Fifty percent of TikTok’s newly restructured U.S. arm will be held by a collection of American investors including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. Meanwhile, already existing investors of TikTok will hold 30.1 percent. Finally, ByteDance will retain 19.9 percent.

Additionally, TikTok’s algorithm in the United States will be retrained with American data. The American arm will also handle the country’s “data protection, algorithm security, content moderation, and software assurance.” Oracle will be the “trusted security partner” in charge of making sure the company keeps within regulations in the country.

With a deal pushing through, the long-running TikTok saga in the United States might finally come to a close.

Silksong is getting its first major expansion next year

The expansion is called Sea of Sorrow.

I still can’t believe that Hollow Knight: Silksong came out this year. After years of just waiting for the mythical title, it’s surreal to have it in my library. Now, barely waiting to catch their breath, Team Cherry is already working hard towards the next content drop, starting with Silksong DLC.

Just like the original Hollow Knight, Silksong is getting free DLCs to expand its story. The upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC will be the game’s “first big expansion.”

The expansion’s trailer barely shows anything about the new content, besides vague allusions to what’s coming. At the very least, Team Cherry has confirmed, both via the announcement and the accompanying poster, that Sea of Sorrow will be nautical-themed.

It will feature new locations, new tools, and new enemies. By itself, Silksong is already a huge game. Adding more content then is a massive undertaking. Plus, Team Cherry says that this is just the first expansion, hinting at more coming in the future.

Sea of Sorrow will launch in 2026.

Besides the new expansion, the studio is also working on a Nintendo Switch 2 update for the original Hollow Knight. It will add higher framerates, resolutions, and more graphical effects. PC players will also get some upgrades to support larger screens.

The Switch 2 update, which will be free for those who already own the original game, will also launch next year.

Supergirl gets its first teaser trailer

Milly Alcock stars as the titular character.

Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.

As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.

Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.

However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.

The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.
