Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi launched the Redmi Buds 4 and 4 Pro earlier in May this year in China. Now, a new model in the series is expected to launch. The Redmi Buds 4 Lite has surfaced in leaked renders. Publication 91Mobiles, in collaboration with Kuba Wojciechowski, has shared images giving us a first look at the TWS earphones. The Redmi Buds 4 Lite will arrive as the successor to the Redmi Buds 3 Lite. The upcoming audio device is tipped to be a budget offering. 

Right off the bat, the Redmi Buds 4 Lite look similar to the Apple AirPods 3. It is seen in plain white, but we can expect more colour options at launch. The device has a non-in-ear design compared to its predecessor. It features a stem and slightly curved ear tips with cutouts for microphones. The TWS earphones also lack silicone ear tips. The charging case looks basic, with two slots for storing the earbuds. 

Apart from the design, the report does not reveal the hardware specifications of the Redmi Buds 4 Lite. We can expect the TWS earphones to come with gesture controls, fast pairing, voice assistant support, environmental noise cancellation, and more. 

As of now, the Redmi Buds 4 Lite launch timeline remains a mystery. Its predecessor was announced in July this year. The device features an in-ear design with a 6mm driver unit. It offers ENC and low-latency mode. The TWS earphones are capable of delivering 5 hours of usage and 18 hours of battery backup with the storage case.
