OxygenOS 11 Beta Hints at 8K 960FPS Recording, OnePlus Buds Z
Sep. 9, 2020Google started rolling outstable builds of Android 11last night and brands like OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, and Xiaomi followed the lead with beta builds. In the latest open beta build of OxygenOS 11, the folks over atXDA Developershave found references to new features such as 8K 960fps and an upcoming OnePlus Buds Z.
The OnePlus Camera app present in the firstopen beta of OxygenOS 11 has strings hinting at an upcoming 8K 960fps mode. Given the current hardware limitations, it is safe to assume that this feature may be available in future OnePlus phones, presumably with upcoming Snapdragon 875 chips. There is a possibility of upscaling the content, but it seems unlikely, and it remains to be seen if OnePlus manages to make it possible.
Apart from 8K 960fps recording, thereport mentions the existence of OnePlus Buds Z. Judging by the name, it could be the lite version of the company’sOnePlus BudsTWS earbuds.
In case you didn’t know already, OnePlus has already launched an affordable version of the OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 asOnePlus Bullets Wireless Zin the past. Hence, it will not come as a surprise if OnePlus launches new affordable TWS earbuds. My best guess is that OnePlus would launch it alongside its rumored budget-centricOnePlus Clover.
Alongside these,OnePlus has removed the 8T renderfrom the Settings app. The company has reportedly added a new file dubbed oneplus_kebab, althoughXDAreports the device in the render is of OnePlus 8. OnePlus may launch two OnePlus 8T variants – one for Canada and India, and the other for the U.S.
