Oppo is a popular name in the smartphone market but the company also makes other products. Most of the company’s current portfolio involves accessories for phones such as wired / wireless earphones, power banks, and even a  smartwatch. Now, according to a new teaser by Oppo Health official Weibo account, the brand is set to launch a TWS for sleeping.

The market for sleeping aids is not much crowed as of now. The most popular product in this category was Bose Noise-masking Sleepbuds, which was discontinued last October due to faulty battery. There are other models but most of them are from uncommon brands that are not recognized well by the public.

At CES 2020, Huami announced Amazfit ZenBuds, its first sleeping earbuds. You can snag one from GizTop for $129.99. It is the only TWS for sleeping from a known brand at the moment. Above all, it is cheaper than the competition too.

Since the market for sleeping earbuds is void, Oppo is trying to seize the opportunity to make a name for itself. The teaser poster shared by the company only reveals the outline of the product along with the May 24 launch date.

That being said, we can expect Oppo to tease some of the specifications of its TWS for sleeping in the coming days.

OPPO has had a busy year so far, releasing two Reno generations within six months, along with a bunch of other smartphones and accessories. The company’s VP, Brian Shen, never shies away from teasing new models, and today, he revealed that OPPO is also working on a true wireless headset. 

OPPO has been involved in the audio business for a while, and the company’s high-end headphones have received rave reviews for its excellent quality output. It recently released the OPPO Enco Q1 noise-canceling wireless neckband headphones in China for under $100. Now, it looks like we’ll see yet another headphone from the company, a true wireless earbuds. 

TWS is a growing accessory segment, and almost all major smartphone makers, including Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei, and Vivo, have at least one TWS headphone model. So it’s no surprise that OPPO is looking to grab a share of this market. However, given OPPO’s history with headphones, it could focus on the premium segment of the earbuds industry with its upcoming TWS headset.

Apart from this, Brian Shen also revealed that he is looking forward to ColorOS 7. The company had announced the ColorOS 6 version back in November 2018, so a new update to the OS is due very soon. Note that the ColorOS 6 only started appearing on smartphones after March 2019, so even if the new version is announced this year, don’t expect it on your smartphones anytime soon. 

OPPO’s ColorOS has often been criticized for bloatware and heavy customizations. But things could change with the ColorOS 7 release. Realme’s CEO, Madhav Sheth, recently revealed that Realme would get an exclusive version of ColorOS 7, which will be very close to stock Android experience. 

We don’t know what kind of features to expect from the new ColorOS 7 version, but we should hear more about it very soon.
