Talking about optics, the phone houses a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, a 16MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. For selfies and video calls, it uses a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor.

OnePlus Buds Z2 to undercut Nothing ear (1) in India: Leak

OnePlus Buds Z2 truly wireless earphones made their debut alongside the OnePlus 9RT in China in mid-October. These TWS earbuds are rumored to launch in India alongside the same phone this month. Ahead of that, the product’s color options and price for the country have emerged.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh), the OnePlus Buds Z2 will be available in two colors. These hues will be called Obsidian Black and Pearl White.

As far as price is concerned, he says that the audio accessory will undercut the popular Nothing ear (1) in the region, which currently retails at ₹6,999. He specifically mentions that the product will cost under ₹6,000.

The OnePlus Buds Z were introduced in India at ₹3,190. Whereas, their successor is tipped to cost almost double the price.

That’s because the newer model arrives with certain key upgrades. For instance, the latest one comes with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and a 38-hour battery life. The older ones lack ANC and can only last up to 20 hours.

At present, we are not sure if the original OnePlus Bud Z will be either discontinued or will be on sale alongside the OnePlus Buds Z2 in India. Hopefully, the brand goes with the first option so that those on a budget can opt for a cheaper model.

OnePlus RT and OnePlus Buds Z2 expected to go live in India in December

The OnePlus 9RT was unveiled last month in China as a successor to the OnePlus 9R and brought about a few upgraded specs. Alongside it, the OnePlus Buds Z2 TWS earbuds were also announced. Both were always eligible for global launches, and while there’s no official word from the company about that yet, we now have a date for their release in India.

91mobiles has learned from industry insider Ishan Agarwal that the OnePlus RT and OnePlus Buds Z2 will be going live in India in December. He has further revealed that the OnePlus RT will come in Nano Silver and Hacker Black colors, while the OnePlus Buds Z2 will be available in Obsidian Black and Pearl White colors.

To recall, the OnePlus 9RT was recently found to be rebranded as the OnePlus RT in India. It is most likely that the Indian variant will come with the exact set of specs as its Chinese counterpart. As such, the OnePlus RT will feature a 6.62-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits peak brightness, HDR10+ certification, and a 600Hz touch sampling rate. It will be equipped with the Snapdragon 888 processor – a notable upgrade over the OnePlus 9R’s Snapdragon 870 – that has been paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Moving on to the camera department, the rear module packs a 50MP primary + 16MP wide-angle + 2MP macro camera setup. Upfront, there’s a 16MP selfie shooter fitted within a left-aligned punch-hole. The device is powered by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W fast charging.

The OnePlus Buds Z2 comes with an upgraded design that has done away with plastic tips in favor of in-ear silicone ones for a more comfy fit. The earbuds feature 11mm drivers and support AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs. But perhaps the best bit is the all-new ANC support with claims of reducing noise by up to 40dB. Other than this, the earbuds come with IP55 splash-proof certification, support Warp Charge, and have a battery life of up to 7 hours.

The OnePlus RT is expected to be priced under Rs. 40,000, while the OnePlus Buds Z2 may cost around Rs. 5,815 (derived from Chinese pricing of CNY 499).
