OnePlus is gearing up to kick off 2024 with a bang. The China-based company will enter the year with at least three product launches. These are the OnePlus 12, OnePlus 12R (OnePlus Ace 3 in China), and OnePlus Buds 3. Those tracking the news already know that the OnePlus 12 has already debuted in the homeland on December 5th. However, the global variant will hit the shelves on January 23rd.
The OnePlus Buds 3 confirmed to launch along with the OnePlus Ace 3 / OnePlus 12R
The OnePlus 12R (known as OnePlus Ace 3 in China) will debut alongside the OnePlus Buds 3, the company confirmed on Weibo (via Gizmochina). The teaser posted on Weibo suggests that the upcoming TWS earbuds will be available in two colors: Space Gray and Clear Blue Sea. We previously reported when we heard that OnePlus was inching closer to release the Buds 3. The reports were true and they’re coming in about a week or so.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus Ace 3 may feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with support for up to 4,500nits peak brightness and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Under the hood, it may pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. In terms of the camera, we expect a triple camera setup on the rear consisting of a 50MP OIS primary lens, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro module. There’ll also be a 16MP front shooter for selfies and video chats. It will, most likely, launch in two colors globally: Star Black and Moon Sea Blue. There’s also a Sand Gold variant, but that’ll be a China exclusive.
Specifications of the OnePlus Buds 3
OnePlus claims that the upcoming Buds 3 earbuds aim to deliver “flagship sound quality” to a broader audience. When they launch, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are anticipated to pack features like true (48dB) wireless noise cancellation, Google Fast Pair, and dual connection capabilities. There’s speculation that these earbuds will offer 3D spatial audio and boast a battery life of up to 44 hours. The pair may also feature an IP55 water and dust resistance rating. Meanwhile, interested buyers in China can already place pre-orders through Tmall, JD, and OPPO Mall.
