RTOS Dual-Core Architecture
OnePlus Watch 2 uses a dual-processor design: a main Wear OS SoC for full Android apps and a real-time low-power RTOS core for always-on functions. When running under RTOS mode (extended battery mode), the Wear OS environment is inactive — AnExplorer requires the Wear OS core to be active. In standard mode, AnExplorer runs normally.
