OnePlus has officially confirmed that a new version of
the Bullets Wireless headset is on its way. The company confirms the
fast-charging capabilities of the new headset – plugging them in for 10 minutes
will give you enough battery juice for 10 hours of listening time. The current
Bullets Wireless 2 charge just as fast, so this hasn’t changed.
The new models are rumored to have
improved battery life, however, from 14 hours on the current model to 20 hours.
The tweet avoids calling the new model by name, which is allegedly “Bullets
Wireless Z”, matching the name of the probably-delayed OnePlus Z (aka “lite”).
OnePlus isn’t ready to show you what the
new headset looks like, but @evleaks has taken care of that. Previously he
showed us the four color versions and now we even get some lifestyle shots.
The phones and new accessories will be
unveiled on April 14, as this promo clip reminds us. It offers the slightest
glimpse at OnePlus slider switch, but it’s mostly about touting the 5G
capabilities of the new phones.
The company also brought back Crackables,
a series of sci-fi inspired puzzles. If you solve all of them you can win a
“once in a lifetime grand prize”. What that is we don’t know yet, but back in
2018 the prize was a US$ 30,000 gaming setup.
