Apr 15, 2019

In the launch event of Huawei P30 series last months, there are a bulk of accessories released, and Huawei FreeLace Wireless Earphones were one of them. They are so attractive, and the reason is that they are so matched with Huawei P30 series. After a week of experience, we have a deeper understanding of the Huawei FreeLace. Now, let’s check out the review of the latest wireless earphones.

Design

Huawei FreeLace offers four colors for costumers to choose, such as Graphite Black, Amber Sunrise, Emerald Green and Moonlight Silver, and I got the Graphite Black variant to experience.

Huawei FreeLace Wireless Earphones adopt neck hanging design.

There are two durable control panels made of anodized aluminum alloy on both sides. On the non-detachable side, there is a Logo of ‘HUAWEI’ on it and no buttons.

The power key, multi-function key and volume keys are placed on the other side which adopts detachable design. A Type-C connector is hiding in the control panel.

Long press the multi-function key for waking up the phone’s smart assistant or reject a call, one tap for play/pause music and answer/hang up the phone, double tap for next track, triple tap for previous track. It’s easy to use.

Usage

Huawei FreeLace Wireless Earphones connect to smartphones through Bluetooth. But Huawei develops a new technology called HUAWEI HiPair technology. The headphones have built-in Type-C plug with HUAWEI HiPair technology, once plugged in the phone, the Huawei FreeLace can be paired at once. It only takes a few seconds, which is very convenient. But the technology just supports some of Huawei smartphones coming with EMUI9.1 and above version.

Performance

Huawei FreeLace adopts canalphones design, which is comfortable to wear. They don’t fall out when shaking violently, so it’s suitable for those who like doing sports.

The material of Huawei FreeLace is nickel-titanium alloy and liquid silicon, which can be easily coiled up to take it out.

The Huawei FreeLace comes with built-in Hall magnetic sensor which can detect whether the earphones are in use. When the earphones attach together, the Huawei FreeLace should disconnect with phone. When you detach them, it will reconnect the phone. I do love this design, which can play a role in saving electricity.

Huawei FreeLace Wireless Earphones ships with 9.2mm dynamic driver unit that enlarges the sound field, and the ultra-thin TPU diaphragm that has strong bass. Huawei FreeLace comes with Dual-channel Wind Noise Reduction and Bluetooth noise cancelling algorithm, which makes you have clearer calls.

The sound quality of Huawei FreeLace Wireless Earphones is outstanding at this price. In the high pitch, it performs balanced, and in the low pitch, it has strong power to shake. The Huawei FreeLace can give you stereo surround sound experience that gets you completely immersed in music.

The Huawei FreeLace is fueled by 120mAh battery, which can play the music for 18 hours on full charge, or have phone calls for 13 hours. What’s more, the earphones can stand by for 12 days keeping Bluetooth connection status.

In addition, you can plug in phones, tablets or PC, which support reverse charging, to charge the earphones by Type-C.

In this usage time, I always charge the FreeLace by Huawei P30 Pro. It can play for 4 hours with 5 minutes charging. It’s an innovative idea to solve the problem of Bluetooth earphones battery life.

Conclusion

There are many Bluetooth earphones in the market focusing on design, sound quality or the price performance. Huawei FreeLace carries self-developed HUAWEI HiPair technology showing their features, and makes them to be the best match of Huawei P30 series smartphone.

Updated Apr 24, 2019

In February, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing had confirmed that the company will be launching a Snapdragon 855 mobile platform driven flagship phone. It is expected to be one of the cheapest phones powered by the Snapdragon 855. Some rumors have even claimed that the phone may debut as Poco F2 outside of China. Last month, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun was spotted with the alleged Redmi SD855 smartphone. Today, Xiaomi’s Product Director, Wang Teng Thomas has an image which shows the same phone with Xiaomi co-founder and President, Lin Bin.

The new Weibo post that had shown the mysterious and unreleased Redmi phone placed on the table has been deleted. The image had revealed that the phone is equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack on its top which also seems to be housing a module with pop-up selfie camera. Hence, the smartphone could be equipped with a notch-less display. Earlier today, Lu Weibing had confirmed that the company’s flagship will indeed arrive with a 3.5mm audio jack.

The Chinese firm has been teasing the phone, but the identity of the phone is still under the wraps. Even the rumor mill is believing that it could be the Redmi’s Snapdragon 855 powered phone, it could also be some other Xiaomi/Redmi smartphone. As mentioned above, the Redmi SD855 phone is expected to deliver topnotch performance at affordable price.

Some rumors are claiming that the phone may go official in the coming month. There is no information available on the specifications of the smartphone.

Redmi has couple of other phones waiting in pipeline to get official. The Redmi S3 selfie centric phone is expected to go official in May in China.

Huawei CEO says the company is open to selling 5G chips to Apple

By

-

Apr 15, 2019

We recently reported that the China-based Huawei, which is among the very few smartphone manufacturers who make their own chipsets, could be open to supply 5G chips to Apple.

For those who are unaware, Huawei develops its own processors under the Kirin brand for the Huawei and Honor branded smartphones. But, its chipsets are not sold to other smartphone makers and are limited to Huawei and Honor smartphones only.

In a recent interview with CNBC, Huawei CEO confirmed that the company is open to selling its 5G chips to Apple. In the same video, he can be seen praising Apple and the western management style, which helped the company grow further.

Supplying chips to its biggest rival Apple is a surprising move from Huawei as the company’s executive had previously said that the Huawei chipsets are for its own internal products such as phones and IoT devices.

Huawei’s Balong 5000 modem chip supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks. It is also compatible with 4G LTE, 3G, and 2G networks. The Balong 5000 5G modem chip will debut on Huawei’s first phone to support the next generation of wireless connectivity — Mate X, which also happens to be the company’s first foldable smartphone.

Apple is currently in a tight spot with its current chipset supplier — Intel which supplies wireless modems for iPhones and iPads. It’s 5G-ready XMM 8160 modems would be available for its customers in the second half of 2019. But a report claims that Apple has “lost confidence” in Intel after the world’s largest chipset manufacturer failed to meet certain development deadlines.

The development comes at a time when China-based tech giant Huawei is aiming to dethrone Apple and Samsung to grab the top spot in the global smartphones market share. However, Huawei comes to Apple’s side when Qualcomm and Samsung both have refused to provide their 5G modems to Apple. While Qualcomm’s denial is understandable given their ongoing legal battle, Samsung refused to supply by citing lack of supply for its Exynos 5100 chips.

Redmi SD855 flagship phone will have 3.5mm audio jack

Last week, an alleged Redmi flagship phone powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset was spotted in a leaked video. The video showcased the phone from all angles. However, since it was not very clear, the video could not confirm the presence of a 3.5mm audio jack. Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing has confirmed to Redmi fans through a recent Weibo post that the Redmi SD855 flagship phone will be equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack.

On Weibo, a Redmi fan had asked Lu Weibing whether the upcoming Redmi phone fueled by Snapdragon 855 mobile platform will retain a headphone jack. The Redmi executive did not shy away from revealing the presence of the feature. He did not share any other information on the smartphone.

The alleged Redmi flagship phone was recently spotted in the same frame with Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. While the display design of the smartphone wasn’t clearly visible, it revealed the presence of a big hole on its top/bottom edge. It indicated that the phone will be arriving with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Also, the leaked video that had surfaced recently revealed that the phone will come equipped with a triple camera setup and a fingerprint scanner on its rear. The front view of the phone suggested that it will deliver an impressive screen-to-body ratio since it was seen sporting a punch-hole screen with slim bezels around it. The display design was slightly unique since the hole was positioned on the top-center and not on the top-left or top-right of the screen.

Redmi is not really interested in sharing the details of its flagship phone at present. The reason behind it is that the company wants to focus on the sales of the already released smartphones such as Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi 7. The Chinese manufacturer is also getting ready to launch a selfie-focused smartphone with 32-megapixel selfie camera.

The 32-megapixel selfie camera phone from Redmi will be releasing in India as Redmi Y3. The same is likely to hit the Chinese markets with Redmi S3 moniker. The smartphone will be featuring 32-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL Bright S5KGD1 sensor. The phone is likely to get unveiled in the coming month.
