OnePlus is reportedly working on its pair of true wireless earphones. Recently, it was reported that the TWS earphones could get launched in the month of July, along with the OnePlus Z or OnePlus Nord upper mid-range smartphone.
Now, more information about the TWS earphones has surfaced online. The Android 11 Beta on the OnePlus 8 smartphone reveals that the upcoming true-wireless earbuds from the company are called OnePlus Pods. This is contradictory to the previous report which suggested that it could get launched as OnePlus Buds.
The development hints that the earphones will have some kind of native integration with the OxygenOS, which is a custom user interface from OnePlus based on Android. There will be a companion app for the earphones with the package name “package.oneplus.twspods.”
As per the report, the OnePlus Pods will come with support for functions like double-tap actions, OTA updates, “Find My” for locating earbuds, among others. However, we expect more details to emerge online in the coming weeks.

If this name turns out to be true, then the company will be ditching the Bullets branding for its audio products. So far, every earphone launched by OnePlus has a Bullets branding.
Expectations are high with the OnePlus Pods given that the company is one of the last major ones to launched its own true wireless earphones since everyone else have already launched it, including the likes of Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Honor, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meizu, Xiaomi, Redmi, Realme, and others.
Apart from the mid-range smartphone and these new TWS earphones, the company is also set to launch its affordable Smart TV lineup in the Indian market on 2nd July. OnePlus has also confirmed that the pricing for the same will start under ₹20,000, about $263.
