OnePlus will soon join Xiaomi, Realme and many other smartphone manufacturers who are getting into the audio space with their true wireless earphones. OnePlus already has a wireless earphones lineup but following the trend, the company is now gearing up to bring its TWS earbuds very soon. In fact, reports suggest that the TWS earbuds could go official as early as July. What will OnePlus call its TWS earbuds? A new report reveals the name will be ‘OnePlus Buds’.
Popular tipster Max J., who was also the one to reveal that OnePlus’ true wireless earbuds are coming soon, has confirmed the name of the audio product. In one of his latest tweets the tipster said that the earbuds will be called OnePlus Buds. The earbuds are tipped to launch in July — most likely alongside the OnePlus Z, the company’s first ‘affordable’ 5G smartphone.
Besides confirming the name of the earbuds the tipster also revealed a render of the product and it looks nothing like the Apple AirPods as reported earlier. The charging case of the upcoming OnePlus Buds appears to be oval in shape. The charging procedure, however, is expected to be the same as other TWS earbuds. This means as soon as the earbuds are put inside the case they will start charging while when taken outside the charging will stop and the earbuds will be connected to the smartphone.
