In late February, Huawei launched the HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i truly wireless earphones ahead of the HUAWEI Mate X2 announcement in China. The company has now brought this product to the UK with an exciting pre-order offer.

HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i Specifications and Features

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i is the company’s latest TWS. They are the successor to last year’s HUAWEI FreeBuds 3i. But unlike the older model, the new one comes with a different design and a much better battery life.

Talking about specs, the new Huawei truly wireless earphones feature 10mm dynamic drivers. The buds feature an in-ear design with silicon tips and weigh about 5.5g each. They also have the Apple AirPods-esque stems and come in three colors (Ceramic White, Carbon Crystal Black, Honey Red).

Further, the earbuds connect with devices via Bluetooth 5.2. They also have support for wear detection and fast pairing but the latter only works with HUAWEI smartphones running EMUI 10.0 or above.

Like any other TWS, this one also comes with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation). Users can switch between ANC off/on or Awareness Mode (transparency mode). The buds also support touch gesture controls.

As for battery life, each earbud is backed by a 55mAh battery, which Huawei claims to offer up to 10 hours of music playback with ANC turned off and up to 7.5 hours with ANC enabled. For voice calls, the endurance drops to 6.5 hours and 5.5 hours respectively.

Whereas, with the charging case (215mAh battery), users can get up to 22 hours of music playback at 50% volume with ANC disabled. Lastly, the case charges via a USB Type-C port.

HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i UK Price and Availability

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i will be available for pre-orders in the UK starting this Friday (March 12). They are priced at £79.99 and will be available for purchase from March 26.

Huawei has quietly launched the FreeBuds 4i  in China. The product is presently listed on Huawei’s official website and is on preorder on the company’s online store – Vmall. It carries a price tag of 499 yuan (~$76).

The noise cancellation is capable of reducing the ambient noisein places such as a noisy station, a lively shopping mall, or a subway.

The earbuds adopts a similar design with its predecessor, that is an in-ear design with a long stem just like the Airpod. Each earbud has a dual-microphone design which helps to accurately pick up human voices. The special windproof structure design can improve the earphone’s ability to reduce wind noise.

It has a lightweight body which ensures there isn’t too much strain on the ear, thus giving the user a comfortable wearing experience. The compact earphones come with a built-in 10 mm dynamic coil unit, with polymer composite diaphragm to deliver vivd vocals.

The earbuds also come with a portable, round storage box which also doubles as a charging case. A ten-minute charge can deliver up to 4 hours of playback.

Further the FreeBuds 4i delivers a more intuitive connection method whereby you just pop open the carry case and it pairs automatically with the smartphone after the first pairing. It also enables touch control whereby with a simple double tap, you can play or pause a song playing or answer/hang up calls.

The earbuds are available in Red, Black and White colours. There is no word yet on when this product will be available outside China.
