Huawei may be gearing up for a busy September, with reports suggesting the company is preparing to roll out a new version of its ear-clip headphones along with a small but premium tablet. The leaks, coming from familiar tipsters on Weibo, give us an early look at what could be announced alongside the Mate XTs tri-fold phone.
According to leaker @Digital Chat Station, the FreeClip 2 (model T0027) is expected to debut in September. Huawei has separately confirmed it will hold a product launch event on September 4, fueling speculation that the earbuds could be part of the event. The first FreeClip (our review) arrived in December 2023 at 1,299 yuan (~$180), and the follow-up is expected to deliver better sound, improved noise reduction, and faster wireless performance. One big upgrade could be support for Nearlink, a wireless standard that offers significantly higher data transfer speeds than Bluetooth.
The new model is said to keep the unusual “C-bridge” design for comfort, while adding fresh colors like Feather White, Modern Black, and Denim Blue. Another Weibo blogger, @智皮卡楚, also hinted at big gains in noise cancellation this time around.
@Digital Chat Station also mentioned an 8.8-inch “thin and light flagship” tablet that’s close to certification. While details are thin, it’s expected to focus on portability without cutting corners on performance.
Alongside it, Huawei appears to be preparing the MatePad 11.5 (2025). Specs for this model include a 120Hz LCD at 2456×1600 resolution, a Kirin 8020 processor, and a large 10,100mAh battery with 40W fast charging. At just 6.1mm thick and weighing 515g, it looks aimed at students and everyday users, with an expected price around $400. Color options will reportedly include Space Gray, Island Blue, Frost Silver, and Feather Sand Purple.
With the FreeClip 2 taking on rivals like JBL’s Sense Pro and the 8.8-inch tablet positioned as an iPad Mini competitor, Huawei seems intent on expanding its ecosystem with both niche and mainstream devices.
