OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Review: Hitting The Right Notes?

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Review

Pros

  • Spatial audio with Android
  • Decent sound quality
  • Fast Pair and multipoint Bluetooth

Cons

  • No on-device volume controls

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is among the many gadgets OnePlus recently unveiled at its Cloud 11 event. These second-generation wireless earphones support adaptive noise cancellation, dual audio drivers co-created by OnePlus and Dynaudio, lossless Hi-Res audio, head-tracking features, and wireless charging.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2, a successor to the OnePlus Buds Pro, seems to be a step in the right direction. While I’ve had a lot of fun with the audio quality itself, the inclusion of spatial audio truly takes the cake. I’ve been plugging it in for a while, so let’s see whether it made me dance to its tunes or not. Let’s find out in this review:

What’s Inside The Box?

  • OnePlus Buds Pro 2 (Arbor Green)
  • Ear tips in small and large sizes (Medium sized tips pre-installed)
  • USB Type-C charging cable
  • User guide
  • Safety and warranty card
  • Red Cable Club Welcome Card

Design

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 come in a familiar rectangular charging case with rounded corners. The case is light and compact that can easily fit in your pocket. It has a matte finish which makes it less likely to scratch and attract fingerprints or smudges. The Dynaudio logo is inscribed beneath the OnePlus logo on the top of the case and on the case’s underside as well as. A tiny LED indication that glows in the red and green color on the front serves as a guide for pairing and charging. At the back, there is a USB Type-C charging port.

When you open the case, you can see the marked slots for the Left and Right earbuds. At the center, there is a function button. Strong magnets are used to hold the buds in place.

Just like the case, the earbuds’ design is similar to that of the earlier model. These are in-ear buds with a small stem sticking out of the earbud. The headset is made of plastic; however, it has two types of finishes. It has a matte finish on the top half and a glossy surface on the bottom half that is easily fingerprinted. The matte finish makes the earbuds easy to use and handle.

On the stems of the earpieces are pressure-sensitive controls. Compared to basic touch controls, this is far more accurate. You can access the playback controls and noise cancellation settings by quickly squeezing the stem. As you take the earbuds out of your ears, they automatically pause and resume playing thanks to an optical sensor for wear detection. The earpieces have a comfortable in-canal fit that ensures proper passive noise isolation. They’re also lightweight and, in my opinion, definitely one of the most comfortable in-ear buds I’ve used in the last year.

The icing on the cake is the Arbor Green color that we received as a review unit. It looks really great on both the earbuds themselves and the case. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 also comes in a matte black finish but the green really stands out.

Overall, the earbuds offer great build quality and fit perfectly in ears, so they won’t fall out easily during outdoor activities like running, cycling, or while boarding a crowded metro. Besides, the earbuds have IP55 ratings for dust and water resistance. Therefore, it can withstand splashes and light rain. The case is also IPX4 rated for water resistance.

Audio Performance

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is powered by Dolby Atmos. This delivers a wide soundstage experience enabled by the Spatial audio feature which can be configured for either a fixed position or head-tracking. With audio streaming services like Amazon Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music, the spatial audio feature is compatible. The finest audio streaming platform, however, is Apple Music because it is the only one that natively supports Dolby Atmos and lossless audio for a Hi-Fi spatial sound experience.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 nonetheless dazzles with a rich sound signature. With crystal-clear vocals and a good amount of powerful bass, the audio quality is crisp. Highs are good, but the mid-range is average.

With a strong bass, fine trebles, and clear vocals, it has a balanced output. OnePlus and Dynaudio collaborated to develop dual audio drivers for the earphones. In addition to the default graphic equalizer, Dynaudio also tunes three more custom graphic equalizers. The outcome is a top-notch experience.

ANC And Call Performance

In terms of noise cancellation, the ANC muffles background noise which generally helps in most cases. The change is noticeable when you are listening outside. It performs admirably given the price. Also, this features a Transparency mode that enables you to hear background noise so that you can identify the environment and any potential dangers. When you take out a single earbud, it can turn on the transparency mode automatically.

Coming to the call noise cancellation, it combines three ENC microphones and an AI-powered noise reduction algorithm to reduce outside noise. This does a good job in reducing wind and road/traffic noise.

Connectivity And Fast Pairing

For HD sound quality on supported devices, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 supports Bluetooth 5.3 with LHDC 4.0 Hi-Res audio codec and AAC codec. For OnePlus phones (6 and later), pairing is quite simple. Just open the charging case for the earbuds, put it close to the OnePlus phone, turn on Bluetooth, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Besides, non-OnePlus users can download the OnePlus HeyMelody app for pairing.

There is also a fast pair option that works on the latest Android phones. If you have multiple devices connected to the same account, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can connect to them with little to no effort. Additionally, the Buds Pro 2 features multipoint pairing that allows you to connect to two devices simultaneously. All in all, this has worked out pretty well.

Battery

The battery life of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is decent, offering up to 10 hours of playback time on a single charge. The overall battery life is increased to 38 hours when combined with the charging case. Since I don’t use ANC frequently, I can get away with nine hours on a single charge. You’re estimated to be approximately six with it on, which is still good. Despite not being plugged in consistently every few days or so, they haven’t actually died on me in the days that I’ve been using them.

Final Verdict

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are some of the first Bluetooth earbuds on the market to support Google’s new spatial audio surround sound technology for Android. Support for simultaneous connections to two devices is a rare but welcome feature. The comfortable fit, decent battery life, and nice, compact body make it easy to carry around. The lack of onboard volume control is a bit of a disappointment though. Overall, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 is one of the best TWS buds for Android device users in this price range (Rs. 11,999).

Xiaomi Pad 6 Tablet Live Images Leaked Reveals Three Rear Cameras; Flaunts Xiaomi 12 Pro-Inspired Camera Island

Keu Highlights

  • Xiaomi Pad 6 live images leaks online
  • Xiaomi 12-Pro inspired camera design
  • To feature triple-camera module

Xiaomi is all set to launch its new-generation Android tablet which will be the successor to the brand’s successful Xiaomi Pad 5. Called the Xiaomi Pad 6, the next tablet form the Chinese tech giant has been visiting the rumor mill since 2022. Now, a fresh set of live images of the Xiaomi Pad 6 has been leaked which hints at an imminent launch and also Xiaomi 12 Pro-series-inspired camera design.

Xiaomi Pad 6 Leaked Live Images Surface Online

The Xiaomi Pad 6 design has been leaked via a Chinese publication called CNMO. The images have been shared on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo. Only a glimpse of the Xiaomi Pad 6’s rear panel has been leaked online. According to the image, the Xiaomi Pad 6 will flaunt a vertical camera module that is borrowed from the Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Also, the presence of multiple camera sensors in the Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet is confirmed by the leaked live image. It appears that Xiaomi has upgraded the camera hardware with the Pad 6 tablet and used a tripe-lens setup. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Pad 6’s exact camera specifications have not been revealed by this leak. It remains to be seen whether Xiaomi will be upgrading the setup rather than using the same 13MP sensor as the previous-gen model.

Just for reference, the leaked live images are of the vanilla Xiaomi Pad 6 and not the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. Therefore, the presence of three camera sensors is a massive upgrade over its successor, i.e., the Xiaomi Pad 5 which only offers a single 13MP camera.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro: Class-Leading Android Flagship With World’s First Retractable Portrait Camera

Tecno started its global mobile venture back in 2006 and entered the Indian market in 2017. Known for providing premium smartphones with great specs, the brand is a standout in the smartphone market. Now, the company is exploring the ultra-premium segment too and has come up with its most high-end phone by far named Tecno Phantom X2 Pro. It’s one of the most advanced Tecno phones with an original concept and futuristic design. 

The Phantom X2 Pro vows for Tecno’s ingenuity with mobile hardware; specifically, cameras. For the first time ever, we have a smartphone with retractable portrait cameras. That’s one of the head-turner features of the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro besides the premium design and other remaining flagship-grade hardware. In fact, several of its “industry-first” features and the advanced camera hardware earn the Phantom X2 Pro the top spot in its league.  

The Phantom X2 Pro is a truly premium device with its ergonomic and eye-catching unibody dual curved symmetric design complemented by a super smooth 120Hz AMOLED screen. That’s not all, the Phantom X2 Pro 5G is the brand’s first to use the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset that is fabricated using the thinnest 4nm process. Not just an admirably beautiful-looking handset, the Phantom X2 Pro has emerged as one of the most capable handsets in its league.  

But the industry has seen numerous advancements in the tech field and smartphone OEMs are making full use of it. This is why the Phantom X2 Pro 5G has got multiple rivals some of which are recent debutants in the flagship mobile market in India. Take for instance the OnePlus 11 5G and the iQOO 11 5G which can be considered the prime rivals of the Phantom X2 Pro 5G. Wondering which model should you place your bet on? Well, the pointers are broken down in this article.

Industry’s First Retractable Portrait Camera Phone For True Optical Bokeh Shots

Tecno has taken a leap and launched the world’s first retractable portrait camera phone for consumers. The Phantom X2 Pro’s A-grade camera hardware comprises a 65mm pop-in and pop-out style 50MP world’s first retractable portrait sensor with a large 1.49 aperture, a 7P 50MP primary lens, and an additional 13 MP ultra-wide sensor. 

For any mobile photography enthusiast, this camera hardware is a dream come true. And if you are amongst those users yearning for DSLR-like professional bokeh photos without spending a dime on a camera separately, you are definitely in for a surprise if you buy the Phantom X 2 Pro. Despite the competition including the OnePlus 11 5G and the iQOO 11 series offering a 50MP triple rear camera module, the Phantom X2 Pro’s imaging prowess remains unmatched. All thanks to the retractable portrait camera and advanced sensors that gives this handset a “Portrait king” crown and helps it emerge as a winner against the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11 phones. 

It offers a complete camera solution with a plethora of imaging features such as HDR mode, AI Scene Detection, Tripod Mode, Panorama, AR Shot, Custom makeup, and more. You hardly get any other flagship phone at this price range that is loaded with so many premium image and video-enhancing features. To top it off, the larger camera enhances low-light photography and you get clean and noise-free clicks in challenging light situations. This is something you don’t get with the competition including both OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11. 

Tecno has refined the camera hardware on the Phantom X2 Pro making it more reliable for both general and professional photography. The improved phase detection mechanism and focus speeds allow for capturing high-quality images with a moving background. This is one of the few advantages Phantom X2 Pro has over the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11 5G. It is also capable of recording 4K videos at a high 60 fps seconds. And with added video features such as Ultra Steady technology, the videography experience is at par with most premium cameras out there. 

Processing Prowess With World’s First 4nm Chipset

Teno’s Phantom X2 Pro is being touted as an all-rounder which is being justified with the remaining top-tier hardware including the Dimensity 9000 5G processor. It’s the first mobile chipset fabricated using the thinnest 4nm technology. All the punch packed inside this tiny SoC allows the Phantom X2 Pro to deliver endless possibilities with smartphone usage. This powerful processor allows the Phantom X2 Pro to be more powerful compared to other flagships in this segment and take on some of the most demanding tasks efficiently.

With the integrated Mali G710 GPU, the latest Phantom X2 series handset gets more capable with gaming performance. It’s even better when you pit OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11 as competition. Only the Phantom X2 Pro can handle the most graphic-intense games without any lags or frame drops.

Its improved vapor chamber cooling system and Hyper Engine 5.0 ensures smooth gameplay sessions for long. You get better haptic feedback with gaming specifically FPS in comparison to most premium flagships. This handset can handle temperature fluctuations efficiently. 

Faster Speeds Becomes Reality With Phantom X2 Pro

The chipset solely isn’t the factor contributing to the top-notch performance offered by the Phantom X2 Pro. The larger RAM and memory capacity aids with the same. The Phantom X2 Pro’s configuration sheet is better compared to the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11. Tecno has made sure there’s no compromise with the multitasking experience or file storage. 

It comes with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage to meet the demands respectively. But that’s not the entire RAM capacity. Tecno’s iconic Memory Fusion technology is also present inside the Phantom X2 Pro with which it becomes the only flagship phone that offers 17GB RAM (12GB LPDDR5 Physical+ 5GB Memory Fusion). 

The Phantom X2 Pro isn’t just a regular flagship phone but a practical device that would make you keep your tablets and laptops aside with its multitasking capabilities. Getting professional tasks done is simplified with the Phantom X2 Pro’s reliable CPU. App loading is instant which you might not see on the rivals including the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11 5G. Overall, the Phantom X2 Pro takes a lead in terms of performance delivery with the potent Dimensity 9000 5G processor.

Futuristic Flexible Curved AMOLED Panel With Life-Like Colors

The display is the primary USP of any smartphone and the Phantom X2 Pro ticks all boxes when we consider a future-ready screen. The large 6.8-inch dual-curved screen is something that the competition fails to deliver. The curved panel of the Phantom X2 Pro is simply gorgeous. Tecno surely has mastered the display tech and has successfully introduced a handset that can take on the OnePlus 11 5G and the iQOO 11 5G. The Phantom X2 Pro gets an edge compared to the OnePlus and iQOO flagships with the larger screen size, curved edges, and better resolution/refresh rate. Unlike the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11 5G, the picture quality is life-like with the Phantom X2 Pro. It’s an immersive experience with video playback every single time. 

The TUV SUD A-rated AMOLED display is super accurate with color production and allows a realistic viewing experience. The rich colors and high brightness levels combined with a 120Hz refresh rate make it smoother. The Phantom X2 Pro further beats the competition (OnePlus 11 and iQOO 11) with the dual curved panel which improves the viewing angles. 

You won’t see the display going black no matter from which angle you are viewing the videos or other content. So binge-watching experience is elevated with all OTT platforms and local directory video playback. And how can we forget the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus layering that safeguards the panel from scratches and accidental drops? It’s one of the necessary screen guard features that we have seen going missing from modern days flagships.

Beautiful And Bold Design Statement

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro wears a premium design language in the form of a unibody dual curved body. This handset is crafted using dazzling stained glass topped with AF Nano coating and CNC metallic middle frame that makes it both sleek and premium. The X2 Pro looks better than the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11 handset with its future-ready curved slim profile. 

It flaunts the world’s first 3.5D Moon Crater Inspired camera module design making it slimmer compared to the rivals in the market. The comfort level with the grips is enhanced by the 71° ergonomic golden grip angle which again is a unique feature of the Phantom X2 Pro. 

Multiple color options and eco-friendly material adds advantage over OnePlus and the iQOO 11. The Phantom X2 Pro’s Mars Orange variant uses the industry’s first renewable fiber back cover. This body material is not only 100% recyclable but made using eco-friendly material. The Phantom X2 Pro is any day better than the OnePlus 11 5G and the iQOO 11 5G in looks and feel. 

Segment’s Largest Battery Module

The Phantom X2 Pro has the biggest battery unit in its segment. It is packed with a 5,160 mAh battery which is bigger than the 5,000 mAh battery capacity offered by the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11. With this extra battery capacity, the Phantom X2 Pro is a beast with power delivery. 

It can last up to 25 days standby on a single charge. The media and video playback time on a single charge is an entire day (23 hours). And you don’t have to worry if the handset runs out of charging; the 45W fast charging support adds 50 percent fuel with a quick 20 minutes plug-in. 

Final Verdict

Despite the stiff competition from the latest popular flagships including the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11, the Phantom X2 Pro storms its way to the top spot. With a myriad of industry-first features, the Phantom X2 Pro elevates the overall user experience which is unmatched by any current flagship model in the country.
