As we already know that the earbuds from both the companies, OnePlus and Oppo, are managed and customized by Hey Melody app in both Oppo/OnePlus smartphones and non-Oppo/OnePlus smartphones. Android Authority recently spotted new strings in Hey Melody v114.3 with the code listed below:
<string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_earphone_record_hd_mode_summary”>High-definition recording. Authentically reproduces surrounding sounds.</string> <string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_earphone_record_hd_mode_title”>Clear mode</string> <string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_earphone_record_immersive_mode_summary”>Multi-channel surround effect. Provides a rich and immersive audio experience.</string> <string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_earphone_record_immersive_mode_title”>Immersive mode</string> <string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_earphone_record_summary”>Record sounds with the microphones in your headphones while shooting a video.</string> <string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_earphone_record_title”>Headphone recording</string> <string name=”melody_common_headset_shoot_record”>Recording</string>
These new strings suggest that OnePlus is working on a new feature called Headphone Recording. With this new headphone recording feature, you can record sound with the microphone in your earbuds (both Oppo and OnePlus) during video recording. This feature will allow you to use Bluetooth (and, by extension, Bluetooth earbuds) as an audio recording source when recording video in Pro mode.
Android Authority mentions in their post that APK teardowns also help them predict this.
APK teardown helps predict future features coming to the service based on code in progress. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to the public release.
This will likely bypass your smartphone’s microphone which is typically used when recording videos. As of writing this post, this headphone recording feature is still in development. Also, the launch date is still not confirmed but it sounds like something interesting.
Probably this feature will work only with Oppo and OnePlus smartphones. What are your thoughts in this regard? Let us know in the comment box. Also tell us whether you liked this post or not.
