Following whispers and leaks, Huawei finally confirmed the arrival of its next-gen earbuds, the FreeBuds Pro 4. The big news? It’ll be the first pair to boast HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei’s homegrown operating system.
The reveal came through a Weibo post featuring a single image of the FreeBuds Pro 4. The image reveals a design that appears largely similar to previous FreeBuds models in terms of form factor and curves. However, subtle hints suggest possible updates to the design and color options.
The most noticeable changes include grille patterns on the sides and back of the earbuds, likely added for aesthetics. The teaser also has the buds in a sleek black-metallic finish, paired with a gold Huawei Sound logo and a bold gold rim encircling the back cover stick.
Huawei is set to launch the FreeBuds Pro 4 on November 26th at the company’s Mate Brand Festival. The event will also introduce other new products, including the Mate 70 smartphone series.
A look at the predecessor
While we are short on specs on FreeBuds Pro 4, let’s look at the specs of its predecessor.
The FreeBuds Pro 3 features advanced active noise cancellation (ANC) 3.0 and the Kirin A2 chip, which uses Polar code technology for impressive 1.5Mbps lossless audio transmission.
It also delivers improved sound quality, noise reduction, and battery life. With QuietCall 2.0, these earbuds excel at minimizing background noise during calls. In terms of battery life, the FreeBuds Pro 3 offers up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge, extending to 30 hou2rs with the charging case.
The FreeBuds Pro 3 will likely build on these features and may also introduce new AI features. After all, 2024 has been a year of AI. With the launch just around the corner, we’ll have the full details soon. Stay tuned!
