Now, the smartphone receives massive discounts almost 8 months after its launch. The handset is offered in Iron Gray and Cool Blue colour options. It comes in 8GB+128GB and 16GB+256GB storage variants.  OnePlus 12R Price And Bank Offers The base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs 39,999, while the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage option is available with a price tag of Rs 45,999. Currently, the OnePlus 12R is listed at Rs 39,998 for the  8GB+128GB storage variant on Amazon.  Moreover, the company is offering an instant discount of Rs 2,000 available through a coupon that can be applied on the product page. Adding further, customers will also get a Rs 2,000 discount when they make a transaction via ICICI Bank cards, bringing the effective price of the device down to Rs 35,998.   OnePlus 12R Specifications:  The newly launched smartphone features a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The triple rear camera of the OnePlus 12R includes a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 16MP front camera.

New Delhi: The soon-to-be-launched Apple Watch Series 10 is likely to feature an upgraded ECG sensor that can help detect sleep apnoea, according to media reports. Sleep apnoea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts. People suffering from the condition repeatedly take pauses in breathing, as well as snort and gasp — all while in sleep. This lowers blood oxygen levels, making the condition potentially fatal. The reports noted that using the sleep tracking feature, the new Apple Watch Series 10 will be able to detect sleep apnoea in users. It can then alert the user and recommend further tests. Other key health features include a change in the processing of the health data collected by these sensors. This includes using new algorithms in the Health app on the iPhone to look for atrial fibrillation, rather than on the Apple Watch itself, the reports claimed. The highly-anticipated event, with a tagline “Its Glowtime” is expected to take place on September 9. Other potential features for the Watch Series 10 include slightly larger displays and a thinner case which will be available in both 44mm and 48mm sizes. Further, it is also likely to come with better water resistance to allow for support of the Apple Watch Ultra’s Depth app. Another feature expected is “Reflections,” a watch face that reacts to ambient light. Despite the new additions, Apple will not likely include the blood oxygen sensor feature which it removed from existing watches following a patent dispute with Masimo. Apple Watch is known to provide heart health features such as high and low heart notifications, cardio fitness, irregular rhythm notifications, the ECG app, and atrial fibrillation (AFib) history. It has also been instrumental in saving many lives. In May, Apple Watch Series 7 saved a Delhi woman’s life by alerting her abnormal heart rhythm. In January, a London-based doctor saved the life of an elderly woman mid-air using Apple Watch’s banned pulse oximeter that monitors blood oxygen levels. Last year, Apple Watch helped save a trail runner’s life by calling an ambulance after he fell during a run.
