Huawei Pocket S made a fabulous entry at the latest launch conference. Alongside, the company has also released a bunch of dynamic products including the Huawei Watch GT Cyber, MateStation X 2022, and more. But in these smart devices, Huawei FreeBuds 5 remained missing.
Yes, the FreeBuds 5 was rumored to come along with the Huawei Pocket S smartphone. However, the company didn’t unveil the mini gadget in the recent launch event for some unknown reasons.
Once again, the respective earbuds are appearing in the headlines. As per the Weibo tipster @FactoryDirectorShiGuan, the Chinese tech giant will soon release the FreeBuds 5 for its consumers.
Previously, the same tipster informed us that Huawei will launch three devices in October – Huawei Pocket S, Watch GT 4, and FreeBuds 5. While the Watch GT 4 series has been delayed until the next year, Freebuds 5 are still swinging in the air for confirmation.
Even as of now, the blogger didn’t say a word about the FreeBuds 5 launch date. Yet, we can assume to see these earbuds in the real world by the end of December. Though we are unaware of the major changes at the moment. But we will keep you updated on this matter.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
In the past few years, Huawei has added a variety of products to its earbuds categories. One of them is the FreeBuds 5i launched in June this year.
The ultimate earbuds support dual hybrid noise reduction technology. This helps to detect excessive noise in the surroundings and eliminate it from transferring to your ears. As a result, you experience immersive audio quality without any disturbance.
Besides, FreeBuds 5i packs a large-capacity battery with low power-consuming capabilities. Hence, you can use it for a long time without worrying about the charging aspect. In terms of design, the earbuds appear in an oval compact box in three colors – Ceramic White, Interstellar Black, and Island Blue.
It would be worth seeing what the FreeBuds 5 will offer to its user over its predecessor models.
