OnePlus is speculated to expand its range of audio devices soon. The company may launch a new speaker in the market. It is expected to be the first speaker from the Shenzhen-based firm. So far, OnePlus has a series of wired and wireless earphones and headphones. Earlier this year, they launched the Nord Buds 2R and Nord Buds 2 in the country. They are also expected to unveil the OnePlus Buds 3 soon. Recently, the company teased the likely launch of a speaker and also hinted at what the design could be like.

In an Instagram post, OnePlus teased the likely launch of a speaker, which is said to be the company's first-ever speaker in the market. The caption reads “Get ready to make some music,” suggesting that the device teased is an audio one. Alongside the tag of “coming soon” within the post, it also has a tagline of “the wonder of music meets the power of tech.”

The design seen in the teaser shows the internal hardware of the speaker. It shows the speaker with multiple woofers facing in different directions. This could suggest the speaker offering a 360-degree audio experience. The company has however not disclosed any further details about the upcoming product. We are also unaware of the moniker of the upcoming speaker from OnePlus.

Among audio devices from OnePlus, the Nord Buds 2R and Nord Buds 2 are available in the country at Rs. 2,199 and Rs. 2,999, respectively.
