OnePlus Buds Z Design Leaked Ahead of OnePlus 8T Launch Event

OnePlus has been teasing the OnePlus 8T smartphone constantly ahead of the official launch on October 14, with the company most recently giving us a glimpse of the gloss glass back panel of the OnePlus 8T in a post on its forum. Apart from the OnePlus 8T, the Chinese manufacturer is also rumoured to unveil a new set of truly wireless earbuds, which will possibly be called the OnePlus Buds Z. Now, a report claims that the OnePlus Buds Z have been spotted in the code of OnePlus’s OxygenUpdater app. The report shows us what the upcoming OnePlus Buds Z could look like, when actually launched.

The report published in 9to5Google says that the APK from OxygenUpdater contains images of the OnePlus Buds Z. The new images hint at the difference between the design of the speculated OnePlus Buds Z and the OnePlus Buds TWS that the company launched back in July, alongside the OnePlus Nord smartphone. While the design of the earbuds keeps the same stem-ended shape, it is housed in a completely reshaped charging case. The new case is seen to have a pill-shaped design with a much wider horizontal design, as opposed to the OnePlus Buds’ vertical, half-circle design. The buds are also placed horizontally inside the new case, instead of going in vertically in the OnePlus Buds case.
