Apart from the Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4 smartphones, HMD Global also announced the Nokia Power Earbuds Lite. This is a more affordable version of the Nokia Power Earbuds that was announced last year.

Nokia Power Earbuds Lite

The new Nokia Power Earbuds Lite keeps the design of the original. The tradeoffs include a significant reduction in total battery life from 150 hours on the Power Earbuds to 35 hours for the lite version.

That should not be a surprise as the battery capacity of the charging case of the Nokia Power Earbuds Lite is just 600mAh while the original has a 3000mAh battery capacity. The manufacturer says the earbuds will last 5 hours on a single charge and the case will provide up to 6 additional charges for the earbuds before it is empty. Another tradeoff is the switch to MicroUSB charging.

The earbuds feature 6mm graphene drivers, connect via Bluetooth 5.0, and weigh 48.4 grams with the charging case. The Nokia Power Earbuds Lite has an IPX7 rating and is waterproof up to 30 minutes in 1m of water. It also has touch controls.

The earbuds are available in Charcoal, Fjord, and Snow and come with three pairs of interchangeable tips in three sizes. A price tag was not revealed but it should sell for less than the €79 launch price of the Power Earbuds.

Talking about the Nokia Power Earbuds; HMD Global announced two new color variants for the earphones. In addition to Charcoal Black and Night Gray, it is now available in Polar Night and Mint too. The new colorways will be available next month.

Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker

HMD Global also announced the first Nokia Bluetooth speaker since taking over the brand. The Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker as it is called is shaped like a donut with a fabric-covered upper half and a plastic lower half. It comes in Black and has a strap to make it easy to carry around and also hang on hooks. The design reminds us of the Nest Mini speaker.

The lower half of the speaker is home to the volume control buttons, power button, play/pause button. The charging port is covered with a flap. With this design, the Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker should have an IP rating but it doesn’t, no thanks to the fabric top.

The speaker has a 43mm driver and connects via Bluetooth 5.0. You can even link two speakers together for stereo output. There is an 800mAh battery inside that provides up to 4 hours of playback and an integrated microphone allows you to use it to make calls.

The price was not revealed but HMD Global says it will go on sale in November.

Alongside the slew of new phones from Nokia, HMD Global also had a few other surprise announcements up their sleeves for IFA 2019. Say hello to the Nokia Power Earbuds, a pair of true wireless earbuds from the company that promise amazing battery life, water resistance and lightweight designs.

Each earbud packs 6mm graphene drivers. They’re Bluetooth 5.0 compatible and offer easy access to your phone’s voice assistant. On top of this, they’ve also got touch controls for your controlling music or volume. They’re even IPX7 rated and can survive in 1 m of water for up to 30 minutes, which is fairly important for a tiny pair of earbuds like these.

Each earbud packs 50 mAh battery and offers up to 5 hours of usage. The charging case comes with 3000mAh battery that Nokia claims can charge the buds 30 times in total, and each charge giving you around five hours of playback time.

We haven’t gotten an official sale date, or even a list of countries where the earbuds will go on sale, though we’re pretty sure it’ll come to most countries that offer Nokia devices.
