OnePlus is developing an affordable pair of truly wireless earbuds under its well-known Nord series. These are named the Nord Buds 3r and have recently been identified on a Canadian certification platform. Here's a summary of what we know so far about these earbuds.
OnePlus Nord Buds 3r on REL Certification
The Nord Buds 3r appeared on the REL database (as reported by 91Mobiles) with the model number E511A. Unfortunately, the certification only mentions the firmware version V0.2.6 and does not provide detailed specifications or features. Last month, the same model number was spotted in the FCC database, confirming a 58mAh battery pack, which is a notable upgrade from the Nord Buds 2r's 36mAh battery.
Battery and Charging Case Specifications
The charging case for the Nord Buds 3r includes a 440mAh battery, slightly smaller than its predecessor. The earbuds' battery carries the model number 112570, while the charging case is labeled 761832-B1. This suggests that the new model will offer improved battery life, allowing for extended audio playback. OnePlus had launched the Nord Buds 2r in July 2023, so the Nord Buds 3r might follow a similar release schedule.
Anticipated Pricing and Features
The new earbuds are expected to be priced similarly to the Nord Buds 2r, which cost 2,199 INR. Thus, the Nord Buds 3r will likely be priced under 3,000 INR. The previous model featured Dolby Atmos, Dirac Audio tuner, ENC for clear calls, Bluetooth 5.3 support, a 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic driver, and an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. Stay tuned for more updates as additional information becomes available.
