Oneplus

The OnePlus Nord Buds 3r was launched in India last month as the latest true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones in the sub-Rs. 2,000 segment — a highly competitive space flooded by an influx of options. It stacks up against other brands such as boAt, Noise, Oppo, and Redmi, which all have affordable yet capable offerings. Similar to its predecessor, the new OnePlus Nord Buds 3r sacrifices some key features to keep its price low. However, it promises to deliver on the most important criterion of all — audio quality.

OnePlus Buds 4 have finally made it to India in July this year. And, they look nothing like their predecessor. For the all-new Buds, OnePlus seems to have gone back to the drawing board and redesigned the entire product, rather than using the same design and adding some upgrades.

The OnePlus Nord series brings some features seen on the company's higher-end smartphones to the midrange segment, along with incremental hardware upgrades over last year's models. This year, the OnePlus Nord CE 5 has arrived with a more powerful processor and a much larger battery than last year's Nord CE 4 model. The handset is also equipped with some OnePlus AI software features. It competes with phones like the iQOO Z10, Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, Infinix GT 30 Pro, and Vivo T4 in India.
