The Huawei FreeBuds 3i has a different design from the FreeBuds 3. Rather than an open-fit design, they have a closed design with silicone tips for a better seal. The case also has a different design; actually like that of the FreeBuds Lite, though the FreeBuds 3i comes in white rather than black.

The FreeBuds 3i isn’t actually a successor to the FreeBuds 3. The case doesn’t have wireless charging but it has the same 410mAh battery capacity as that of the FreeBuds 3. The FreeBuds 3i actually has a bigger battery capacity, 37mAh, compared to the FreeBuds 3’s 30mAh per earbud. However, it is reported to last 3.5 hours with ANC turned on, unlike the FreeBuds 3 that lasts 4 hours on a single charge.

The earbuds also have a dedicated Bluetooth chip; which should be the Kirin A1 and have support for fast pairing with phones running EMUI 10.

The FreeBuds 3i take about 1 hour to fully charge and you should be able to get 3 full charges from the case which itself supports USB Type-C charging and takes 100 minutes to fully charge. Winfuture.de reports that the earbuds weigh 5.5 grams each while the case weighs 51 grams.

There is no info on the price of the Huawei FreeBuds 3i but it is expected to be more affordable than the FreeBuds 3.
