Oppo Enco X3 to arrive as rebranded OnePlus Buds Pro 3

OnePlus launched the Buds Pro 3 last week, and now it looks like these might also get an alternate life wearing Oppo clothing. According to the prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station, Oppo will soon release the Enco X3 true wireless earbuds, and these will be identical to the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 in everything but the name.

Controversy out of the way, it looks like Oppo's flagship Find X8 series will also have a Capture Button a la the iPhone 16 models and Sony devices.
