Jun. 29, 2020



OnePlus is rumored to be working on its first pair of TWS earbuds for quite some time now. The earbuds are tipped to be called either OnePlus Pods or OnePlus Buds. Now, tipster Max J. has shared a render of the alleged upcoming earbuds on Twitter. Thetipster has shared the black color variantof the earbuds.

You might recall that the same tipstershared an imagelast month. While that image looked more like Apple’s AirPods, this one resemblesOppo’s Enco Free earbudsthat lets you attach silicone eartips at the end.

The charging case, on the other hand, looks like the one offered along withGoogle’s Pixel Buds 2. From the looks of it, there will be a battery charge indicator on the case, presumably representing the battery levels of the case.

OnePlus is expected to launch these earbuds alongside OnePlus Nord onJuly 10. Going by leaks and rumors so far, OnePlus Nord may havedual 32MP+8MP front cameras,quad rear cameras,Snapdragon 765Gchipset, andup to 30W fast charging.

While the rumored launch date is still almost two weeks away, we could be getting some hints about the product lineup in the four-part documentary series the company will be releasing on its ‘onepluslitezthing’ Instagram account tomorrow.

Apart from this, we don’t have much information about the OnePlus Buds / OnePlus Pods. If the company launches OnePlus Pods as part of its midrange OnePlus Nord, we might not be seeing high-end features such as ANC on these earbuds. That said, the earbuds may have ANC if OnePlus doesn’t associate it with the Nord branding. We will have to wait to see how things turn out.
