OPPO is having a Selfie Party in Los Angeles next week. The company has apparently sent out invites for the event with an image of the selfie stick, hinting that its recently announced product could make it to the American shores in the coming days.

The company announced the new selfie stick back in May. It will clamp to your phone, connect via your 3.5mm headphone port and will extend to help you capture the perfect selfies. There’s a shutter button on the handle, which lets you take pictures, ideal for group selfies.

Given that everyone is obsessed with selfies these days, it might be a good idea to launch its own selfie stick in North America. OPPO is also known to have amazing front facing shooters to seal the deal, like in the case of OPPO N1 which features a rotating camera. The rear 13MP shooter comes forward when you want to take front facing shots. So, you get the same high level picture quality from the front, as you usually do with your rear camera.

The company is also said to release its own smartwatch at the event. Remember back in March, we heard a rumor about an OPPO smartwatch which charges in just five minutes? Well, this could be that watch.Another good news was that the watch reportedly comes with Android Wear. So, July 28th event could indeed be interesting. Stay tuned.

OPPO isn’t new to wearables (there’s OPPO O-Band) but the company has not yet announced a smartwatch. Looks like that’s going to change soon as a new leak on Weibo (via leaksfly) says that the company is developing a smartwatch similar in looks with Moto 360.

The source reveals a new image online which he claims is the upcoming OPPO smartwatch. The device sports a round face, much like the Moto 360 except for the black bar at the bottom. This means that the watch will have a true circular display.

The watch is said to run on Google’s Android Wear platform. The biggest selling factor of the device according to the source will be the VOOC fast charging technology. It is said that the advanced fast charge tech will allow users to get up to a day of usage with just 5 minutes of charging. This will truly be a revolutionary feature as it will essentially mean if you have a power outlet nearby and 5 minutes, you will no longer have to worry about your watch running out of charge.

We still don’t know whether the watch will be able to last for more than a day if charged till up to 100% as the source reveals nothing about its total battery life.

It is also said that the watch will be lighter and thinner than traditional smartwatches in the market.

Anyways, as of now, these are the only things that we know about the upcoming OPPO smartwatch. Lets wait and see, if we get some more concrete information about the device.
