OPPO has announced three new products in India at the #ASKOPPO launch event. These are OPPO F19s, OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G Diwali Edition, and OPPO Enco Buds Blue. All these products are a special edition of the existing devices, namely OPPO F19, OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, and OPPO Enco Buds.

OPPO has released these new products ahead of Diwali festive season in India. As mentioned earlier, they are merely a new version of the existing products to celebrate the festival of lights in the country. Hence, apart from newer looks (colors), they are basically the same.

The OPPO F19s comes in a single 6GB + 128GB storage configuration priced at ₹19,990. Customers can pick it up in either Glowing Golden or Glowing Black hue option.

Further, the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G Diwali Edition also comes in a single 12GB + 256GB version. The company calls the new color option Majestic Gold and it costs ₹41,990. In other words, it costs ₹2,000 more than the regular Aurora and Stellar Black models.

Lastly, the OPPO Enco Buds now come in a new Blue color version, in addition to White. The new variant is priced at ₹1,999, however, it will be available at a discounted price tag of ₹1,499 during the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale from October 3 to 10.

The OPPO F19s is already up for sale, while the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G Diwali Edition and OPPO Enco Buds Blue will hit the shelves on October 3. All three products can be purchased from Flipkart, OPPO online store, and retailers across the country.

Last but not least, there are also cashback and EMI offers from multiple banks on these phones. Customers can also avail exchange bonuses and OPPO Enco W11 at only ₹999.

A couple of days back, OPPO revealed the launch date for OPPO F19s in India. At the same time, we also reported that OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G might get announced together. Today, the brand has officially disclosed the launch date for this smartphone as well.

In a press release sent to us, OPPO has confirmed that the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G Diwali Edition will launch in India on September 27 at 3 PM. This means the handset will be unveiled alongside the OPPO F19s just like what we guessed earlier.

Additionally, these smartphones will be also accompanied by a blue color variant of the newly launched OPPO Enco Buds. All three products will be announced at the ‘#ASKOPPO Festive Launch Show’.

As the name of the launch event suggests, OPPO is running a social media campaign where anyone can ask questions by using the hashtag #AskOPPO. Selected questions will be answered by the company during the conference.

Talking about the products, the trio is nothing but new color variants of the already existing products. The OPPO F19s is an OPPO F19 with a new OPPO Glow design (AG rear glass) in two colors, namely Glowing Gold and Gold Black.

The post OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G Diwali Edition confirmed to launch on September 27 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Enco Buds are the latest pair of truly wireless earphones from the smartphone maker. They are the successor to last year’s OPPO Enco W11. But for some reason, the company is using a new name instead of W12.

However, though the branding is different, this TWS product looks almost identical to its predecessor. As a result, It is difficult to tell these audio accessories apart unless you hold both the models in close and compare them.

So do the new OPPO Enco Buds come with any upgrade or not? I will try to answer this question in this review.

OPPO Enco Buds Review

Disclaimer:

This review of OPPO Enco Buds is based on the author’s firsthand experience with a unit sent out by OPPO India. The opinions stated here are the author’s alone.

The review is more of a comparison between OPPO Enco Buds and OPPO Enco W11 to let the readers understand the changes that the new model brings. 

PS: The author had been using the Enco W11 as their primary TWS for months before switching over to the Galaxy Buds+. 

Build and Design

The OPPO Enco Buds feature a plastic build all around. The buds and the charging case sport a glossy finish, which can get scratched easily but are hard to spot, at least on the white color that I have with me. In fact, India only gets this hue option, while in some markets, the product also comes in a blue color version.

Moving on, both the charging case and the buds look like a pebble. They flaunt an almost-same design as the Enco W11. The charging case of Enco Buds is slightly thicker and heavier, whereas the buds themselves are smaller and lighter in weight.

As per OPPO, each IP54-rated Enco Bud weighs 4g, while the IP55-rated Enco W11 buds weigh 4.4g each. But the former’s charging case is heavier at 37g as compared to 35.5g of the latter. 

Hence, the net weight of OPPO Enco Buds is actually higher. However, due to a slightly different curvature on the case, the new model sort of feels lighter in hands than the older model.

Further, the secondary microphone hole on the Enco Buds is tiny, and even the ‘OPPO’ branding on the case is smaller. There are also L and R markings inside the case, which are not found in the W11’s case. Lastly, there’s an LED indicator on the front and a USB Type-C port on the rear.

Interestingly, the Enco Bud’s charging case has a loose lid and it does not feel as good as that of Enco W11 in hands. Also, the retail packaging is of lower quality when compared to the previous model.

Connectivity and Controls

The OPPO Enco Buds arrive with Bluetooth 5.2 instead of Bluetooth 5.0. They also have support for quick pairing on devices running ColorOS. In my usage, they never got disconnected from any of the devices I used them with.

Like almost all the TWS earphones in the market, these also have touch gesture controls, which work fine without any issue. Users can even customize controls using the HeyMelody companion app. This application can be also used for firmware upgrades.

It is worth noting that the Enco W11 are not compatible with the HeyMelody app. 

Sound and Microphone Quality

The OPPO Enco Buds offer a well-tuned sound stage for the price. They also mitigate almost all the issues with their forerunner OPPO Enco W11.

First and foremost, the Enco Buds are louder. For those unaware, the biggest con of Enco W11 is the lower volume level. Secondly, the new model also produces a good amount of bass when compared to its predecessor.

That’s not all, there’s also a fine amount of instrument separation. However, the timbre and treble could have been better.

Also, It would have been nice if these buds were capable of outputting better clarity. But we cannot expect everything from an entry-level TWS product, can we?

In simpler words, the audio quality of OPPO Enco Buds is commendable for its price. One might find its flaws only if they have used more expensive truly wireless earphones.

The same can be also said about its microphone performance. It is way better than that of OPPO Enco W11. However, the ENC (Electronic Noise Cancellation) for calls is not as great as what the company advertises.

In addition to providing an overall good sound experience, the OPPO Enco Buds also offer the best in-ear fit I have ever experienced. Do note that everyone has differently shaped ears, and therefore, this statement could differ from person to person. But I believe these buds should be perfect for most people because of their tiny footprint.

Battery and Charging

The OPPO Enco Buds are rated to last up to 6 hours on a single charge and up to 24 hours with the charging case. The battery life I got out of these earbuds was on par with the company’s claim, which is impressive.

On the other hand, the OPPO Enco W11 offers around 5 hours of battery life on a single and only about 20 hours with the charging case. It is fascinating to note that both models have the exact same-sized batteries (buds: 40mAh, case: 400mAh) but only one offers more endurance.

As far as charging is concerned, both the charging cases use a USB Type-C port and take around 150 minutes to charge fully. Lastly, the new model uses a silver-colored connector to charge the buds instead of golden-colored connectors found inside the older model.

Verdict

The OPPO Enco Buds are priced at ₹1,999 ($27) in India. At this price, it is an easy recommendation for the package they offer. For the first three days of the sale starting September 14 till 16, they will be selling at an even cheaper price tag of ₹1,799 ($24).

I used to recommend OPPO Enco W11 to anyone looking for TWS earbuds under ₹2000 ($27) since their release last year. Although these truly wireless earphones debuted at ₹2,499 ($34), they are usually on sale for ₹1,999 ($27) or even less up to ₹1,499 ($20) most of the time.

Hence, I believe we can expect similar discounts on the OPPO Enco Buds in the near future. As a result, more people could get access to this new pair of wireless earbuds from OPPO.

The OPPO Enco Buds are almost identical to the older OPPO Enco W11 in terms of design. That’s where their similarity ends since the new model brings upgrades in most other categories.

The new truly wireless earphones from the smartphone maker feature 8mm dynamic drivers and connect via Bluetooth 5.2. They can pair instantly with devices running ColorOS and have support for AAC audio codec as well as Dolby Atmos.
