Huawei is going to
announce the Mate 20 Pro on October 16 in London and we’ve been seeing more and
more leaks surrounding the upcoming Huawei flagship. Today, some new leaks
reveal Huawei’s possible AirPods competitor and some more images of the alleged
Huawei Mate 20 Pro and its super thin bezels and dual-curve display like
Samusng’s flagships or as Huawei has done on the Mate RS and Mate 10 Porsche
design models.
Roland Quandt,
frequent leaker of all things mobile has tweeted a couple of images of the
alleged Huawei Mate 20 Pro (or non-Pro). At this stage, it’s no longer certain
which device we’re looking at. There have been mixed rumors about whether the
Mate 20 Pro would have a large notch or a smaller water-drop style notch.
Another product
revealed by Quandt is the “Huawei Freebuds 2 Pro”, which is a blatant copy of
the Apple AirPods in its second iteration. Huawei’s first-gen Freebuds came out
earlier this year but don’t resemble the AirPods as much. According to Quandt,
the Freebuds 2 Pro will have a Qi-enabled charging case.
Not only that, but
another leaked render suggests that the Freebuds 2 Pro case can be charged
wirelessly with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. This would certainly be cool and
something that even Apple did not market first. Although, Apple did file some
patents for the concept of charging Apple devices with other Apple products
such as charging an iPhone on a MacBook or even charging the AirPods by simply
placing the case on top of an iPhone.
Should the Freebuds
2 Pro be a real thing, it’s also said that they might come in a second color:
black. By contrast, the Apple AirPods only come in Apple’s hyper-glazed white.
Huawei’s buds are slated to go for between 150 and 160 EU.
In any case, we’ll
find out about all things Huawei Mate 20 Pro on October 16, which is when the
Chinese phone maker’s launch event is scheduled to take place in London.
