Rogbid launches Model R5 Android smartwatch with 2.4-inch display, 4G LTE and a rotating camera

Rogbid has released the Model R5, a new smartwatch that functions more like a wrist-worn Android phone than a traditional companion wearable. The device is built around a 2.4-inch AMOLED display and includes a built-in SIM card slot, allowing it to operate independently from a smartphone.

Rogbid Model R5 Specifications

The 2.4-inch screen has a 480 x 480 resolution. It is noticeably larger than the displays found on standard smartwatches, which typically measure between 1.2 and 1.5 inches.

This extra screen real estate is designed to make navigating the watch’s operating system easier, as the Model R5 runs a full version of Android rather than a wearable-specific platform like Wear OS or watchOS. This means you can download and run standard Android applications directly on the watch.

Inside, the Model R5 is powered by a Unisoc W527 processor, paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It also features a standalone SIM slot with 4G LTE connectivity, supporting both US and Euro-Asian band configurations. The watch can also switch to Bluetooth mode and pair with a phone when standalone connectivity is not required.

Hardware-wise, Rogbid has included a 5-megapixel camera at the top of the watch casing. The camera module sits on a hinge that rotates 190 degrees. You can point the lens forward for video calls or flip it outward to take photos and scan QR codes.

To support the larger display and cellular radio, the watch houses a 1,350mAh battery. Rogbid says that the device takes about 80 minutes to fully charge. On the fitness side, the Model R5 includes standard hardware for heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen tracking, and sleep analysis. It also has built-in multi-system GPS and a compass. The casing is IP67 water-resistant, so it can handle rain and sweat, but it is not meant for swimming.

The watch uses standard 22mm quick-release straps. Rogbid also includes a lanyard adapter, providing the option to wear the device around the neck as a badge.

Pricing and Availability

The Model R5 is available in black and gold color options, with an introductory price of $129.99. The package also includes additional stainless steel and leather straps, along with a lanyard chain. The smartwatch is now available for purchase through Rogbid’s official website.
