Huawei has just launched a new service in China that is aimed to offer users a way to replace their lost TWS earbuds. The company will now let you buy a single true wireless earphone at a discounted price.

The latest service from the Chinese tech giant is quite an innovative initiative from the company that should be more common in the currently booming TWS hearables market. Huawei will now let those that lost an earbud purchase the a single bud for a 50 percent discount. This new ‘worry/hassle free’ service will be available for products within a 2 year period of their purchase.

As of right now, the company has included three TWS earbuds as part of this new service. This includes the FreeBuds 4i, FreeBuds 4, and FreeBuds Pro. So for those that lost a bud from any of these models can purchase the single FreeBuds 4i bud for 39 Yuan (roughly 11 US Dollars), FreeBuds 4 for 69 Yuan (roughly 6 US Dollars), and the FreeBuds Pro for a reasonable 79 Yuan (roughly 12 US Dollars). To avail this offer, users will have to bring the charging case and the earbuds to a Huawei service store in China.

Unfortunately, the company has only launched this offer/service in its home country alone at the moment. Although, we’d wish for more companies to adopt this offer in markets across the globe. Currently, the Indian market for TWS earbuds is booming, so this would be a great offering in the region as well. But, we will have to wait and see if other brands follow suit.

Huawei has quietly announced a new smartphone in Europe. The new device is the Nova 8i and it has made its debut in Germany.

The Nova 8i is a 4G smartphone that was announced first in Malaysia last July. Now, those in Europe can get their hands on the device, and if you are in Germany, you get a free pair of earbuds too.

The Huawei nova 8i is a 6.67-inch phone with a 2376 x 1080 display that has a pill-shaped cut-out at the top left corner. There is a Snapdragon 662 processor under the hood along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

On the back of the phone are four cameras – a 64MP f/1.9 primary sensor, an 8MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera with a 120º field of view, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. Up in front is a 16MP camera. Huawei says there is a built-in AI for noise reduction that allows for sharper nighttime photos.

There is a 4300mAh battery inside the Nova 8i and it charges from empty to full in 38 minutes thanks to having support for 66W fast charging. The phone has 7 antennas and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. It also runs EMUI 11 out of the box with Huawei Mobile Services.

Huawei is offering the phone in Moonlight Silver and Starry Black and has put a price tag of €349 on the phone according to an Amazon listing shared by Roland Quandt. If you plan to purchase the phone, we advise you do so as soon as possible as Amazon has an option where buyers get a free pair of FreeBuds 4i earbuds. The Huawei earbuds which have active noise cancellation and 10-hour battery life (without the case), launched for €99 earlier this year. While they are now selling for €59, getting them for free is even better.
