Sony is all set to launch its next-generation gaming console — Sony PlayStation 5 (aka PS5) during the holiday season this year. Ahead of that, the company has already revealed some key details about the console.

Now, the connectivity features of the upcoming Sony PS5 have been leaked online. The report coming from Brazil-based Tecnoblog reveals that the console will come with support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.1.

The support for Wi-Fi 6 is definitely an upgrade given that the PS4 supports Wi-Fi 4 while the PS4 Pro supports Wi-Fi 5. The sixth-generation of Wi-Fi is capable of a maximum throughput of 9.6 Gbps across multiple channels, which is around 32 times faster than the Wi-Fi 4 support present in the PlayStation 4.

Although Bluetooth 5.2 is the latest version out there, Sony has opted for a slightly older version — Bluetooth 5.1. However, this is also a great improvement over Bluetooth 2.1 in PS4 and Bluetooth 4.0 in PS4 Pro.

Freebuds 3

The Freebuds 3 true wireless stereo headset features a new design Huawei calls Dolphin Bionic inspired by a dolphin’s vocal cavity. The case is also different, circular like a perfectly round pebble with a glossy finish.

With the new Kirin A1 chip, Huawei promises low latency and low power consumption as the earbuds use what is called an isochronous dual channel Bluetooth connection. Each earbud is paired to the phone on a separate channel rather than one earbud being the master while the other is the slave in some earbuds.

Huawei is obsessed with titles and it claims the Freebuds 3 is the world’s first earbuds with open-fit active noise cancellation with up to 15-decibel ambient noise reduction. The bone sensor makes a comeback and will work with the Mic Duct for noise cancellation and a crystal clear conversation when making calls.

It also has a latency of 190ms which makes it perfect for gaming, and the noise cancellation is adjustable using the companion app.
