OPPO has announced the rollout of new firmware updates for multiple OPPO Enco-branded truly wireless earphones. The new software builds will be pushed to four models, namely Enco X, Enco Air, Enco Play, and Enco Free2 from December 1. Let’s take a look at the new features that are being introduced.

According to an official announcement post by the OPPO Smart Life Weibo account, the double-tap camera control feature from Enco Free2 and Enco Free2i is now available for older Enco Models. The eligible earbuds include Enco X, Enco Air, and Enco Play.

The double-tap camera control feature on Enco TWS earphones only works on select smartphones running ColorOS. Also, the version of the software should be at least ColorOS 11.3.

Further, the Enco X also gets the personalized sound boost from the Enco Free2 series. This feature is available on ColorOS, other Android skins (Android 6.0 or above), and iOS. Users need to install the HeyTap app on non-ColorOS handsets to utilize the feature.

Lastly, the Enco Free2 from earlier this year receives dual-connection capability from the newly released Enco Free2i. Hence, users can now switch between two paired devices seamlessly. This feature works on all devices, irrespective of the platform and product category.

In order to experience the above-mentioned features, users will have to update their TWS earbuds to the latest firmware version available on or after December 1. This can be performed using the HeyTap application. The features should be also available in international markets in the coming days.

OPPO is not new to launching limited edition products, especially those that are tied to pop culture characters. Among the popular ones are the OPPO F11 Pro Avengers Edition and the OPPO Find X2 League of Legends Edition. Now, it is set to announce a number of Detective Conan-themed products on Wednesday, July 28.

For those who do not know, Detective Conan is a popular Japanese detective manga series that has been running since 1994. The manga, which is also known as Case Closed in some countries, has been adapted into movies, games, and anime.

The Chinese manufacturer itself has released posters teasing the Reno6 Pro+ Detective Conan Edition but it won’t be the only OPPO product getting the limited edition treatment.

According to the Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, the Enco Free2 wireless earbuds and the yet-to-be-announced OPPO Watch 2 will also have Detective Conan limited editions. All three products should be announced on July 28.

At its Reno6 series launch conference today, OPPO added a new TWS headset in its Enco Free series. The new model called the ENCO Free2 brings in significant upgrades like Active Noise Cancellation up to 42dB and audio tuning by DYNAUDIO. This would make it the second OPPO product after the OPPO ENCO X, to be tuned by the popular Danish audio company.

The OPPO Enco Free2 brings in an in-ear design, unlike the semi-open design of its predecessor. The previous model wasn’t particularly great at noise isolation but with an in-ear design and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), the Free2 solves this problem. In fact, Noise Cancellation is a big highlight of the new earbuds. OPPO has used a 3-core chip to ensure excellent ANC and claims the earbuds can block noise up to 42dB — one of the highest noise isolation levels for earbuds in its price range. OPPO further adds that the Free2 should offer considerable isolation from wind noise as well.

It’s also good to see that OPPO is bringing DYNAUDIO tuning to the cheaper ‘Free’ series. However, unlike the Enco X which had the DYNAUDIO logo on its charging case, this branding is nowhere to be seen on the Free2’s box or case. That said, with the Danish audio company tuning the earbuds, we can expect better audio than its predecessor.

The Enco Free2 also upgrades its Ingress Protection. The earbuds are IP54 certified, unlike the Enco Free which was just IPX4 rated. So the new earbuds should be safe for your routine beach outings as well.

Other features of the new earbuds include a personalized listening technology which OPPO claims allows customization of the sound according to your hearing levels, transparency mode (same as other earbuds with ANC), 42ms low latency, and remote photo capture, VLOG shoot mode (double click the earbud to activate the shutter). Note that the remote capture mode is currently only available on the new OPPO Reno6 series and will be rolled out to more smartphones in the coming weeks.

The Enco Free2 promises up to 4.5 hours of audio playback with ANC turned on, and up to 6.5 hours without ANC. The charging case will further add a playback time of up to 30 hours.

The new OPPO Enco Free2 will go on sale in China from June 5 for 599 yuan (~$94) which is a good 100 yuan (~$16) cheaper than its predecessor’s launch price back in 2019!
