OnePlus Buds Pro 2 design gets shown off in unofficial renders

With the OnePlus Buds Pro, we got a premium pair of wireless earbuds from OnePlus, in a market that is getting increasingly competitive – and now we might have our first look at what the company is planning for a follow-up.

Over at 91mobiles there are some high-quality renders showing what are supposedly the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 (though of course we can't be sure until they are actually launched). From these images, it doesn't look as though much will change in terms of design.

What is new is an olive green color option, shown off in these renders – the original OnePlus Buds Pro were available in matte black or glossy white. The design similarities extend to the charging case, which looks to be more or less the same.

What to expect

We don't know much about what the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are going to bring with them in terms of features and functionality, but this latest report suggests that Danish loudspeaker maker Dynaudio has been involved in the production of the earbuds.

The first OnePlus Buds Pro brought with them active noise cancellation, so it seems certain that the new pair will once again offer that feature. Battery life, which went up to 24 hours with the OnePlus Buds Pro, might be improved as well.

There haven't been any OnePlus Buds Pro 2 launch date rumors that we've come across, though considering the original pair were announced in July 2021, the successors are now overdue – and early 2023 looks like it could be a good bet for an official launch.

Analysis: lots and lots of choice

There's certainly no shortage of choice when it comes to wireless earbuds: that's great for consumers, but it means it can be tricky for manufacturers to get their products to stand out. OnePlus already has multiple versions of its wireless earbuds on sale.

Then of course we have to mention Apple, which has the most common price points well covered with the AirPods Pro 2 ($249 / £249 / AU$399) and the AirPods 3 (from $169 / £179 / AU$279). It's hard to look past those options, especially for iPhone users.

Google has the premium Pixel Buds Pro ($199 / £179 / AU$299) and the cheaper Pixel Buds A-Series ($99 / £99.99 / AU$159), while Samsung offers the Galaxy Buds 2 ($149.99 / £139.99 / AU$219 ) and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro ($229 / £219 / AU$349 ).

We're thinking that once again OnePlus might use price as the biggest selling point: the original OnePlus Buds Pro retailed for $149.99 / £139 when they launched, and something around that mark would but their successors in a good spot in terms of affordability.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
