An earlier report claimed that another purported OnePlus Buds variant, OnePlus E511A TWS could be the OnePlus Nord Buds 3R earphones. It reportedly cleared the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. 

The FCC listing for the OnePlus Nord Buds 3R suggests that the earphones may feature larger batteries than the previous Nord Buds 2R. However, the charging case might contain a smaller cell. According to the listing, the OnePlus E511A TWS supports 58mAh batteries in each earphone, while the case has a 440mAh battery.

The cross-section of the rumoured OnePlus Nord Buds 3R charging case as seen on the listing suggests the earphones will be placed vertically within it. This could mean that the charging connectors of the earbuds will likely be placed on the bottom of the stems.

Notably, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R, which were launched in India in July 2023, have a pill-shaped charging case with the earbuds placed horizontally in it. The charging connectors are on the inside of the stems. The case has a 480mAh battery, while the earphones carry 36mAh cells each. They have 12.4mm dynamic drivers, an IP55 rating, and are said to offer a total battery life of up to 38 hours.
