OnePlus is offering fans a chance to try out the unannounced OnePlus Buds Pro true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones and OnePlus Nord 2 5G smartphone. OnePlus' The Lab programme is looking for 10 applicants each for the two products who can review them and give their feedback. The company recently announced that the OnePlus Nord 2 5G will be unveiled in India and Europe on July 22 and the OnePlus Buds Pro will be announced alongside. As of now, there is no information available on the OnePlus Buds Pro.

OnePlus Nord 2 5G, as the name suggests, will be the successor to the OnePlus Nord from July last year. The company has confirmed that the phone will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI SoC, an upgraded version of the standard MediaTek Dimensity 1200. The OnePlus Buds Pro will succeed the OnePlus Buds and OnePlus Buds Z, and may come with active noise cancellation. Both devices will be launched on July 22.

Here's how you can participate in the OnePlus' The Lab programme and stand a chance to try out and review the OnePlus Nord 2 5G as well as the OnePlus Buds Pro.
