The upcoming OnePlus Band will feature a large capsule like module with a 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen on the top and a host of sensors at the bottom. This unit will be housed in a dual-tone silicone band. The device will have an IP68-rated build quality, meaning it will survive dust and rain. However, it remains to be seen if it will be swim-proof.
