OnePlus is expected to unveil the Buds Z TWS earphones on October 14 alongside the OnePlus 8T 5G. The company hasn't divulged much about its second pair of TWS earphones yet, but tipster Ishan Agarwal has revealed the specifications of the Buds Z, and we also have a few renders of the earphones which reveal their design.

Agarwal claims the OnePlus Buds Z will pack 10mm drivers and come with Dirac Audio Tuner and Dolby Atmos sound enhancements. They will be IP55 dust and water-resistant and each bud will weigh just 4.35 grams.

The exact battery size of the Buds Z is currently unknown, but the tipster claims the Buds Z will offer five hours of endurance on a single charge, with the charging case providing an additional 15 hours of battery life. The case will also support fast charging and will offer three hours of playback with a 10-minute charge.

The Buds Z will come with silicone tips for passive noise cancellation, have a long stem, and feature dual microphones. The price of the Buds Z is currently unknown, but the source claims they will be more affordable than the OnePlus Buds announced in July.

In addition to the Buds Z, OnePlus will also reportedly announce new neckband-style wireless earphones, dubbed Bullets Wireless Z Bass Edition. As evident from the name, these will have a higher bass compared to the OG Wireless Z announced in April.

Deal: Grab A Google Pixel 4a For Just $119.99
~1.3 mins read
Even the Pixel 5 is a mid-ranger this year, but Google's most affordable phone is the Pixel 4a. The phone sells for around $349.99 usually, and for some reason Verizon marked that up to $379.99.

No need to worry, though, for Big Red currently has a very nice deal going for the phone. If you are okay to use its installment plan to purchase the device, you can get the Pixel 4a for just $5 per month, adding up (with Verizon math) to just $119.99 over the entirety of the two-year monthly payment period.

Deal: grab a Google Pixel 4a for just $119.99Those are some huge savings you're getting for a phone that wasn't very expensive to begin with. As you may know, the Pixel 4a is only available in Just Black, and in one sole version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage.

We're not sure how long this deal will last, so if you're interested jump over to Verizon to make your purchase as soon as possible. If you're still on the fence, maybe our in-depth review of the Google Pixel 4a will help you decide if it's truly the one for you.

Motorola Moto G 5G Pops-up Online, Running A Snapdragon 750G 5G Chipset
~2.5 mins read
When Motorola announced the rhythmically-named Moto G 5G Plus back in July, it was pretty apparent that a vanilla Moto G 5G should eventually follow. Now we seem to have the scoop on a Moto device, codenamed “Kiev”, allegedly coming to market as the Moto G 5G. The original source on this is somewhat sketchy. But seems to mostly check out.

Apparently the Moto G 5G will be based on the new Snapdragon 750G chipset â€“ a promising part that offers 5G support, including mmWave and AI noise suppression at a budget price point. The exciting silicon already made a rather impressive debut on the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and seems to have the potential to be at the heart of a new wave of increasingly budget-friendly, yet capable 5G phones.
