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.
