Huawei goes big with eight new devices, P30, 50X zoom
Huawei has released two flagship P30-series handsets, two new smartwatches, two wireless earphones, smart glasses, and a 40W fast charge power bank.
In a “one more thing” moment, Huawei announced its smartglasses range, called Eyewear. It offers the ability for wearers to listen to music, make calls, and use the glasses as a virtual assistant. The glasses are IP67 dust and water resistant, and they can charge wirelessly via the case that holds the glasses, or via USB Type-C. The case has a 2,200mAh battery to keep the glasses powered.
They won’t be ugly either. Huawei has partnered with Korean fashion brand Gentle Monster for the design, ensuring the glasses look normal.
Powerbanks are fairly common nowadays. But can they charge a phone from 0-70% in 30 minutes? Huawei’s latest Super Charge 40W powerbank charges at the same rate as the company’s Super Charge wall chargers, giving users an extra boost on the go.
Huawei also released two sets of earphones at the event. The FreeLace “neckbud-style” earphones boast an 18 hour listen time for active/gym users and connect wirelessly through Huawei’s HiLink protocol.
The FreeBuds 2 mimic the iconic all-white stemmed design of Apple’s AirPods. It promises 12 hours of usage with a battery case. Hopefully its cheaper price point can be enough to save these earphones in an already saturated wireless earphone market.
