Chinese tech giant Huawei has today confirmed that the company will be launching its new true wireless earphones under the FreeBuds lineup in the market, named Huawei FreeBuds 4 at 02:30 PM local time in China on 19th May. The poster shared by the company showcases that the upcoming earphones as well as its charging or carrying case look almost similar to its predecessor. The company has adopted the semi in-ear design for the earbuds instead of the full in-ear design.
Now, with this semi in-ear design of the
Huawei FreeBuds 4, the noise cancellation feature’s performance remains to be
seen. It will be interesting to see how the company has managed to offer this
feature. Its predecessor, the Huawei FreeBuds 3 launched in 2019, comes powered
by the company’s own Kirin A1 chipset and supports noise cancellation. Given
the company’s issues with the chipset business, it is not yet known if Huawei
can use its own chip or chooses to use a different chip for the upcoming earphones.
The Huawei FreeBuds 4 TWS earphones will
be made available in at least three color options — White, Gray, and Red. Ahead
of the launch on 19th May, the earphones are already available for pre-sale on
Huawei Mall. At the 19th May launch event, Huawei is expected to announce
several other products, including TVs, earphones, and smartwatches. It could
also launch a high-end notebook and a new Mate-branded tablet, among others.
While the company has yet to officially
announce the products that will be released on the launch event, we have
recently covered a few devices that we expect to be announced on this date.
This includes the new variant of the Huawei Children’s Watch 4X, which was
leaked recently, along with the Huawei Body Fat Scale 3 Pro. OPPO has also
confirmed that it will be launching its new OPPO Enco TWS earphones in China on
20th May, the same day when Vivo is scheduled to launch its new Vivo TWS 2 true
wireless earphones.
