Huawei Smart wearables

Huawei released the FreeBuds 5i in China in June and now it's finally rolling the TWS earphones to more markets. They are now available internationally for just under £90/€100.

The Huawei FreeBuds 5i bring a massive upgrade over the FreeBuds 4i with a longer battery life, improved sound and ANC, and а lighter body while keeping also featuring an attractive design.

The FreeBuds 5i case now has a softer, pebble-like texture and weighs 34 grams, with each bud weighing just 4.6 grams. Despite the 18% lighter body, compared to the 4i, battery capacity increased dramatically to 410 mAh.

Noise reduction is said to reduce 42dB worth of noise, a couple of decibels better than the FreeBuds Pro and almost twice as good as the 4i. Once again, Huawei brought an AI-powered system that learns where the voice comes from and isolates it for calls in a noisy environment.

Huawei already sent us a pair of FreeBuds 5i in Blue, and our tests are underway. The buds come with 10-hour playback on a single charge, meaning we will need time to confirm the numbers in different scenarios with all three noise cancellation modes.

Improved battery vs Freebuds 4i? Better check that again, Freebuds 4i offers 8hrs with ANC and 10hrs without it and I can vouch for those numbers as a Fb4i owner.
