The upcoming earbuds are expected to have unique features like individual battery levels for both the earbuds as users tend to use wireless earbuds separately at times. The earbuds are also expected to have touch controls to control music playback and volume.
The earbuds will directly be in competition with earbuds from companies like Realme, Xiaomi, Oppo, and others.
