Being able to make it to 36 hours when you're careful with your usage isn't much of a win here since the end effect is you're still going to want to make sure you charge the thing at least once every day because anything less than 100% is going to be a risk of the thing dying during the day.

Only thing I deduce is that they still coordinate and industry analysts should know that. Similar to Huawei and Honor, which are treated separately, as they should.

Everyone else has the Vivo and Oppo brands as separate entities. And some even go farther and separate the sub-brands OnePlus, Realme and iQOO from their parent brands as well. Vivo and Oppo should be treated as separate entities.

          So obviously BBK still exists, contrary to the claims of commentariat here and on other mobile-oriented websites. Analysts certainly know better. Besides its rather obvious that bbk companies share designs, logistics, resources, similar to Huawei and Honor, even though they claim they are separated. I guess that story about BBK being dismantled is for western public and all those legal procedures and claims, while in reality things are fine and boys are all together.

                  Of course they do. They're the only ones with smartwatches that last more than a single day.

                  Samsung and Apple can't seem to grasp the fact that people don't like charging their devices, especially their watches, every day.

                                      Some clarity in these "statistics": The Chinese brands predominantly churn out $10 disposable wristbands.

                                        Good job from Huawei, Xiaomi and BBK, they did amazing this year. Starting from tablets, laptops, phones and wearables growing high.
