Motorola Edge 70 Pro officially debuts on April 22, 2026, in India, and we expect it in Poland in May. The phone will feature a 6500 mAh battery, a 144 Hz display with a brightness of 5200 nits, and a Sony Lytia 710 camera — all for a price of around 3000 PLN.

The premiere of Motorola Edge 70 Pro is scheduled for April 22, 2026, and the first units are expected to hit Polish stores most likely on May 14, 2026. The mid-range flagship comes with a 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED 144 Hz display with a brightness of 5200 nits, a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor, a main camera of 50 MP Sony Lytia 710, and a 6500 mAh battery with 90 W charging. All enclosed in a body with IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H certifications.

Motorola is learning from the Edge 60 Pro. A larger battery, a brighter screen, a more powerful chip, and a bolder design (marble, satin, fabric) — all under Pantone. The European price of €649–699 (around 2,900–3,100 PLN) positions the model exactly where Galaxy A57, Xiaomi 15T, and Nothing Phone 3a Pro compete. Does Motorola have what it takes to win? We break down the leaks and confirmed facts into their components.

When is the Motorola Edge 70 Pro premiere

The global premiere of Motorola Edge 70 Pro takes place on April 22, 2026, in India, as confirmed by Flipkart in the pre-sale. According to information from purepc.pl, the Polish distribution starts on May 14, 2026 — that’s when the shipping of the first orders from x-kom, Media Expert, Komputronik, and RTV Euro AGD is expected to begin.

This is standard practice for Motorola’s Edge series. The predecessor, Motorola Edge 60 Pro, debuted in April 2025 and was available in Polish stores from May of the same year at a price of 2499 PLN. The Edge 70 Pro will follow this pattern, although the price may be slightly higher due to better components.

Note: The global dates announced by Motorola may differ from the Polish ones. The official Motorola EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) conference is expected at the turn of April and May 2026. Until then, details about the Polish price and availability are estimates.

Motorola is preparing launch promotions. The company traditionally adds a selected gadget at the start: for the Edge 60 series, it was the Moto Buds 2 Loop headphones, and for the Edge 70 Pro, we expect the Moto Watch 70 smartwatch or a TurboPower 90 W charger set with USB-C to USB-C cable. Details will be confirmed at the press conference in May.

Specifications of the Motorola Edge 70 Pro, what we officially know

The biggest upgrades compared to the Edge 60 Pro are battery (6500 mAh vs 6000 mAh), screen brightness (5200 vs 4500 nits), and refresh rate (144 Hz vs 120 Hz). The camera remains at a similar level with the same Sony sensor (now Lytia 710 instead of 700C).

Motorola Edge 70 Pro — Extreme AMOLED display 5200 nits

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro gets one of the brightest screens in the mid-range segment. The peak brightness of 5200 nits is a value that today only competes with the Xiaomi 15T Pro (4500 nits) and Honor Magic 7 Lite (5000 nits) at this price. In comparison, the iPhone 17 has 3000 nits peak, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 — 1900 nits.

In practice, this means readability in full sunlight without squinting, even on the beach or in a convertible car. The refresh rate of 144 Hz is an advantage for gamers and those using dynamic applications. The difference between 120 and 144 Hz in everyday scrolling is subtle, but noticeable in games like Call of Duty Mobile or Genshin Impact.

The screen is quad curved — curved on all four edges. It’s an impressive but controversial design: accidental touches are more likely, and the full-screen tempered glass is harder to fit. If you plan to purchase, prepare to invest in UV glass or hydrogel film to cover the curves.

It’s worth getting a case and glass for the new Edge 70 right away — check accessories for Motorola Edge 70 at homescreen.pl

Sony Lytia 710 camera, telephoto lens, and multispectral sensor

The heart of the Motorola Edge 70 Pro photography is the 50-megapixel Sony Lytia 710 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). This is an improved version of the sensor from the Edge 60 Pro (Lytia 700C), with higher sensitivity and better noise reduction in low light. The lens has an aperture of f/1.8.

The rear set is complemented by two additional modules: a 50 MP ultra-wide (120° field of view, useful for landscapes and architecture) and a telephoto lens with 3.5× optical zoom. The latter has an interesting focal length — close to the classic 85 mm used in portraits, but far enough to cut out details from the background.

What the 3-in-1 multispectral sensor offers

A new feature compared to the Edge 60 Pro is the additional 3-in-1 multispectral sensor. This component does not take photos but collects information about light in three spectral ranges: visible, infrared, and UV. As a result, the phone better maps colors and accurately represents skin tones, fabrics, and plants — areas where smartphones traditionally struggle.

The effect is noticeable in two scenarios:

• Portraits in artificial light (office, restaurant, shopping mall), where fluorescence tints the skin green or yellow
• Culinary photography, where traditional white balance washes out the colors of dishes

The 50 MP front selfie camera supports 4K recording at 60 fps — a specification that just two years ago was reserved for flagship models costing 5000 PLN. Perfect for vloggers and those creating content for TikTok or YouTube Shorts.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro Battery — 6500 mAh and 90 W charging

The biggest practical change in the Motorola Edge 70 Pro is the 6500 mAh battery. This is 500 mAh more than in the Edge 60 Pro (6000 mAh) and 25% more than in the Samsung Galaxy S25 (5000 mAh). Motorola claims over two days of use on a single charge with typical usage.

In practical terms, this means:

• 16-18 hours of screen on time (SOT) while scrolling through social media and watching videos
• Weekend without a charger — a trip from Friday to Sunday without searching for a socket
• 10-12 hours of gaming in games like Genshin Impact or PUBG Mobile

Charging with 90 W TurboPower will charge the phone from 0 to 100% in about 35-40 minutes (confirmed parameters similar to Edge 60 Pro). Wireless charging is expected at 15 W — an unofficial value, but predicted based on its predecessor. For inductive charging, it’s worth looking at wireless chargers and docking stations.

It is worth remembering that Motorola does not include a 90 W charger in the package — you have to buy it separately. If you don’t have a GaN charger yet, this is a good time to invest in a universal USB-C Power Delivery unit. Check out our category of wall chargers at homescreen.pl — the Baseus GaN5 Pro and Anker 737 models support 100 W and can also charge a laptop. A good power bank with PD will also come in handy on trips — 20,000 mAh will recharge the Edge 70 Pro three times.

Tip: The 6500 mAh battery in an 8 mm thick case was made possible only by new silicon-carbon cells with higher energy density. This is the same technology that powers the Oppo Find X8 Pro and Honor Magic 7 Pro. In practice: longer lifespan and less degradation after 500 charging cycles.

Pantone Design, marble, and fabric instead of plastic

Motorola consistently embraces bold design. Motorola Edge 70 Pro comes in three color variants curated by Pantone:

• Pantone Lily White — white with a marble texture (replicates the pattern of natural stone)
• Tea — warm beige with a satin finish (matte, fingerprint resistant)
• Titan — graphite with fabric texture (new — tactile finish, slightly rough to the touch)

Three different textures instead of one glass on the back is the direction Motorola has been heading for several years. Previous Edge series had versions with eco-leather, vegan velvet, and wood. The marble texture in the Edge 70 Pro is the first in the industry — no one has applied this effect in a mass series before.

Practical consequence: each texture reacts differently to daily use. Marble and fabric are more resistant to minor scratches and fingerprints, but harder to clean. Satin is the most versatile, but collects micro-scratches.

For all three versions, a case is a must-have investment — the manufacturer does not include a silicone cover in the box. A transparent case will showcase the unique texture, while a rugged one will protect the phone from drops. It is also worth getting tempered glass for curved screens right away, as standard flat glass will not cover the edges of the quad curved.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Edge 60 Pro, what has changed

The predecessor is currently available in Polish stores at a price of 1,999–2,099 PLN (after seasonal promotions). A comparison of key differences shows whether it’s worth paying extra for the newer generation.

Parameter	Motorola Edge 70 Pro	Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Processor	Dimensity 8500 Extreme	Dimensity 8350
Geekbench performance (multi)	6563	5840
Screen	6.8″ AMOLED 144 Hz	6.7″ pOLED 120 Hz
Peak brightness	5200 nits	4500 nits
Battery	6500 mAh	6000 mAh
Wired charging	90 W	90 W
Main camera	50 MP Sony Lytia 710	50 MP Sony Lytia 700C
Telephoto	3.5× with multispectral	3× without multispectral
Selfie	50 MP	50 MP
Durability	IP68 + IP69 + MIL-STD-810H	IP68 + IP69
System	Android 16 (3+5 years)	Android 15 (3+4 years)
Launch price PL	~2,999 PLN (est.)	2,499 PLN

The most noticeable changes are more powerful processor (+12% multi-core), brighter screen (+16%), and larger battery (+8%). The camera received a better sensor, but in everyday use, the difference is subtle — mainly noticeable in low light and in portraits thanks to the multispectral sensor.

Is it worth paying an extra 500 PLN for the newer model? If you want a phone for 3-4 years — yes, the longer support and better processor will pay off. If you’re looking for a basic, reliable phone for 2 years — the Edge 60 Pro on promotion (~1,999 PLN) still offers great value for money.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs competition in the mid-range

The 2,500–3,000 PLN segment is the most competitive area on the market. The Edge 70 Pro enters a territory where four other mid-range flagships are already battling.

Model	Processor	Battery	Screen	Main Camera	Price PL
Motorola Edge 70 Pro	Dimensity 8500	6500 mAh	6.8″ 144 Hz 5200 nit	50 MP Lytia 710	~2,999 PLN
Samsung Galaxy A57	Exynos 1580	5000 mAh	6.7″ 120 Hz 1900 nit	50 MP	2,499 PLN
Xiaomi 15T	Dimensity 8400 Ultra	5500 mAh	6.8″ 144 Hz 3200 nit	50 MP Leica	2,799 PLN
Nothing Phone 3a Pro	Snapdragon 7s Gen 3	5000 mAh	6.77″ 120 Hz 3000 nit	50 MP periscope 3×	2,399 PLN
Honor 400 Pro	Snapdragon 8s Gen 3	5300 mAh	6.78″ 120 Hz 5000 nit	200 MP	2,999 PLN

Motorola wins in three key parameters: battery (6500 mAh — the most in the segment), screen brightness (5200 nits — on par with Honor 400 Pro) and durability (MIL-STD-810H — no one else has this at this price). It loses a bit in the camera to Xiaomi 15T (Leica) and Honor 400 Pro (200 MP).

Who the Motorola Edge 70 Pro will be the best choice for

Travelers and active individuals — MIL-STD-810H + IP69 guarantees that the phone will survive a fall from a bike path, a dip in the sea, and office coffee disasters. Add a good case and hydrogel film from brands like 3mk, Spigen, or Tech-Protect, and the phone will last 3-4 years without a scratch.

Screen demanding users — a brightness of 5200 nits is visible even at noon in the sun, which no competitor offers at this price. Ideal for those spending a lot of time outdoors or in the car.

Portrait and scenery photographers — multispectral sensor + Lytia 710 + 3.5× telephoto lens is the most versatile photo set in the segment. If natural skin tone and good portraits are important to you, Motorola does it better than Samsung and Nothing.

Mobile gamers — the combination of 144 Hz + Dimensity 8500 + 4600 mm² vapor chamber provides stable 90-120 fps in Call of Duty and Genshin Impact. The Samsung Galaxy A57 with 60 fps in these titles falls short.

What is missing before the premiere

Three elements remain unconfirmed and may affect the final rating:

• Exact price in Poland — Motorola will announce it only at the EMEA conference (end of April/beginning of May 2026). Estimates of 2,899–3,099 PLN are based on the predecessor and the euro exchange rate.
• Availability of the 16 GB RAM variant — India receives two configurations (12/256 GB and 12/512 GB), but the variant with 16 GB RAM seen in some leaks has not been confirmed for Europe
• Telephoto lens details — 3.5× optical zoom is a leak, not official data. Motorola may still change this specification between the Indian and European launches

It is also important to ask about long-term software support. 3 years of Android updates is a good standard, but Samsung (7 years) and Google Pixel (7 years) offer significantly longer support — 2-4 years more. For those planning to use the phone for 5+ years, this may be a deciding factor.

Our choice: If you are looking for a solid mid-range flagship with a record battery and bright screen — the Motorola Edge 70 Pro will be the best choice in its price range for 2026. But make sure to buy a case and tempered glass right away. The quad curved AMOLED is beautiful, but delicate.

Summary, is it worth waiting for the Motorola Edge 70 Pro

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro will hit the market on April 22, 2026, in India, and on May 14, 2026, in Poland, at a price of around 2,900–3,100 PLN. The upgrades over the Edge 60 Pro are evolutionary but significant: +500 mAh battery, +24 Hz refresh rate, +700 nits brightness, and a new Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor. Overall: a better phone in every dimension.

The biggest advantage remains durability combined with design. MIL-STD-810H in a Pantone casing with marble is something you won’t find at Samsung or Xiaomi. For active people and those demanding durability — an obvious choice. For photographers — great, but the Xiaomi 15T with Leica will provide a slightly better photo set for a similar price.

It is one of the most durable mid-range flagships of 2026.

Huawei showcases the second generation of the most unusual smartwatch on the market. The Watch Buds 2 debuts on April 20, 2026, during the Huawei Pura event and combines a watch with a pair of TWS earbuds hidden under the dial.

The Huawei Watch Buds 2 is a smartwatch with built-in wireless earbuds that will have its official premiere on April 20, 2026, during the Huawei Pura event. The device continues the concept from 2022, where a slight press on the dial opens the case, revealing two miniature TWS earbuds with active noise cancellation inside. The second generation is expected to bring a new chip, HarmonyOS NEXT, and a set of AI features.

The first generation of Watch Buds cost 2299 PLN in Poland and was available in only one color. The version 2 is expected to be lighter, thinner, and equipped with better sound, while also opening up the segment of “hybrid” audio-smart devices. We check everything we already know before the premiere.

Huawei Watch Buds 2, when the premiere and availability in Poland

The manufacturer has confirmed the date of the official premiere, April 20, 2026. The presentation will take place as part of the global Huawei event dedicated to the new Pura 80 smartphone series, alongside which the second generation of Watch Buds will also debut. The first generation of Watch Buds reached the European market a few months after its debut in China, so we will likely see the second one in Poland in the second quarter of 2026.

Global sales are set to begin within four to six weeks of the premiere. The Polish distribution of Huawei usually aligns with the rest of Europe, so June–July 2026 is a realistic availability date for the Watch Buds 2 with Polish retail partners. The first generation was available at Media Expert, x-kom, and the official Huawei store.

Tip: If you plan to buy the Watch Buds 2 right after the premiere, it’s worth preparing a replacement strap and protective glass for the face, as Huawei only provides them in a package for selected colors. You can find compatible accessories in the watch straps category.

Specifications of Huawei Watch Buds 2, what we already know

Huawei has not yet released the full specifications, but leaks and regulatory documents indicate specific changes compared to the first generation. Below we summarize the confirmed and expected parameters.

Parameter	Watch Buds (2022)	Watch Buds 2 (2026)
Display	AMOLED 1.43″, 466 × 466 px	AMOLED 1.5″, LTPO (expected)
Case	Stainless steel, 47 mm	Aluminum alloy, ~46 mm (expected)
Earbuds	2× TWS with ANC, IP54	2× TWS with ANC 2.0 (expected)
Watch battery life	Up to 3 days	Up to 5 days (expected)
Earbud battery	~4 hours per charge	~5–6 hours (expected)
Battery capacity	410 mAh	~450 mAh (expected)
System	HarmonyOS 3.0	HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0
GPS	Dual-band L1 + L5	Dual-band L1 + L5
Health monitoring	TruSeen 5.0, SpO2	TruSeen 6.0, ECG, blood pressure (expected)
Watch water resistance	5 ATM	5 ATM
Connectivity	Bluetooth 5.2, NFC	Bluetooth 5.4, NFC
Sport modes	80+	100+ (expected)
Launch price (PL)	2299 zł	~2499–2699 zł (estimate)

The most important changes concern TWS earbuds. Huawei claims a better driver, second-generation active noise cancellation (ANC 2.0), and support for the LDAC codec, which theoretically will elevate sound quality to the level of separate earbuds costing 400–500 zł. This is crucial for those who consider the Watch Buds a real replacement for a pair of TWS.

How Huawei Watch Buds 2 works, a watch with hidden earbuds

The mechanism remains the same. The magnetic disc opens under the thumb, revealing two slots with earbuds. The earbuds charge inside the watch, the case functions as both a case and a power bank. When you don’t need music, the watch looks like a classic smartwatch with a round face.

This concept solves a daily inconvenience: carrying two devices (watch + earbud case) and managing two batteries. Watch Buds 2 integrates one with the other, and after removing the earbuds, the watch still shows notifications, measures heart rate, and tracks steps. In the first generation, the entire cycle of “tap, open, put on earbuds” took about 3 seconds. The new case is expected to be thinner and lighter by about 8 g.

Note: The earbuds in Watch Buds 2 are the size of bullet-type earbuds (elongated capsules), not classic AirPods. People with small ears should try them on before purchasing; the dimensions of the first generation earbuds are 21.8 × 10.3 × 10.3 mm, and the new version is expected to be comparable.

AI Features and HarmonyOS NEXT in Watch Buds 2

The second generation debuts with a new system HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0, which Huawei presents as a separate platform from Android. In practice, this means three significant changes for the user of Watch Buds 2.

AI Health Coach, a health assistant based on a language model

The first generation measured parameters but could not interpret them. HarmonyOS NEXT introduces AI Health Coach, an assistant that analyzes pulse, sleep, activity, and suggests specific actions. Noticed poorer sleep quality for three consecutive nights? It will suggest a shorter nap or a change in meal time. This is a local feature, most calculations happen on the watch, without sending data to the cloud.

Smart headphone modes

The Watch Buds 2 headphones automatically adapt to the situation. Adaptive ANC recognizes the environment, enhancing noise reduction on the train, switching to transparent mode in the office. During a phone call, the voice isolation system cuts out background noise, which you will appreciate on a busy street or in a café.

Live conversation translation

The Watch Buds 2 supports live translation between several languages (including Polish). The feature works in tandem with a Huawei smartphone from the Pura 80 or Mate series, you hear the translation in the headphones, while the conversation partner sees the transcription on the phone screen. This is not a substitute for a translator but assistance in simple situations (shopping, ordering in a restaurant, asking for directions).

Huawei Watch Buds 2 price, how much will it cost?

The manufacturer has not yet announced the official price, but based on the first generation and pricing trends in the hybrid wearables segment, we estimate the launch price of the Watch Buds 2 in Poland to be 2499–2699 PLN. For comparison:

Device	Price	Type
Huawei Watch Buds (1st gen)	2299 zł	Smartwatch + headphones
Huawei Watch 5	1999 zł	Flagship smartwatch
Huawei Watch GT 6	1499 zł	Sports smartwatch
Huawei Watch Ultimate	3799 zł	Premium smartwatch
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8	1899 zł	Smartwatch with Wear OS
Apple Watch Series 10	2299 zł	iOS smartwatch

Watch Buds 2 is positioned in the premium segment, you are not paying so much for a better smartwatch, but for the convenience of wearing one device instead of two. If you still need a smartwatch and TWS, the total of ~1500 zł (watch) + ~800 zł (ANC headphones) gives 2300 zł. The difference becomes symbolic.

Watch Buds 2 vs first generation, what has changed

The first generation had three weak points: short battery life of the headphones (about 4 hours), thick case (14.99 mm), and limited compatibility with iPhone. The second generation addresses all three.

• Headphone battery, expected 5–6 hours of single use, with the possibility of recharging in the watch for a total of 20 hours of playback
• Thickness, the casing is thinner by about 1.5 mm thanks to the new magnetic mechanism
• iOS compatibility, full support for iPhone through the Huawei Health app (notifications, activity tracking, music control)
• Headphones, ANC 2.0, LDAC support, dual microphone with noise reduction
• Health, added blood pressure measurement (after calibration with a cuff) and real-time stress analysis
• Connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4 instead of 5.2, which reduces latency and increases range

Who is Huawei Watch Buds 2 for

Watch Buds 2 is not a device for everyone. If you already have a good pair of headphones and a smartwatch, a dual solution will not be better than dedicated devices. However, for three groups of users, it is a great choice.

People minimizing daily “carrying”, one device instead of two, one battery to keep track of, one charger in the bag. If you often forget your earbud case at home or at work, Watch Buds 2 physically solves that problem.

Travelers and commuters, quick access to earbuds without taking the case out of the backpack, live translation while traveling, good call quality thanks to two microphones. Additionally, sleep monitoring will be useful on the plane.

Huawei ecosystem enthusiasts, if you have a Huawei Pura 80 smartphone or one from the Mate series, integration with HarmonyOS NEXT works smoothly. For iPhone and Android users from other manufacturers, functionality is reduced by 15–20%.

Our choice: We recommend Watch Buds 2 to those for whom the convenience of “one device” outweighs maximum sound quality and separate watch functions.

Alternatives to Huawei Watch Buds 2

If the concept of a hybrid device doesn’t convince you, it’s worth considering three classic combinations:

Smartwatch + separate TWS earbuds (budget). Huawei Watch GT 5 (999 zł) plus any pair of TWS earbuds (300–500 zł) will provide similar functions for less money. Minus: two devices to charge and carry.

Apple Watch + AirPods Pro 3. For iPhone users, this is probably the best combination, with full integration with iOS, dictation, Handoff, and Apple Music. The total cost is around 3400 PLN, but you get two separate devices that are the best in their categories. Matching accessories: Apple Watch bands and AirPods Pro 3.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 + Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. For Android and Samsung users, the Galaxy ecosystem offers seamless integration. Total cost: around 2800 PLN. At homescreen.pl, you will find a full selection of cases for Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Buds 4 headphones.

What Will Be Missing in Watch Buds 2

The full specifications are not yet available, but knowing Huawei’s strategy from previous generations, three areas can be pointed out where Watch Buds 2 will likely not match the competition.

• Google Pay / Apple Pay, HarmonyOS supports Huawei Pay, but in Poland, integration with banks is limited (only selected cards work)
• App Store, AppGallery does not match Google Play or the App Store, lacking popular fitness apps (Strava, AllTrails)
• GPS Support for Advanced Sports, despite dual-band L1+L5, the watch does not offer as precise analytics as Garmin or dedicated sports watches

If your main goal is professional workout tracking, the Huawei Watch Ultimate or the Garmin series are a better choice. The Watch Buds 2 are more of a versatile everyday tool than specialized sports equipment.

Summary, is it worth waiting for the Huawei Watch Buds 2

The Huawei Watch Buds 2 is not a device for everyone, but it has no competition in its niche. The second generation fixes the weak points of its predecessor (battery, thickness, ANC) and adds HarmonyOS NEXT with AI features. Premiere on April 20, 2026, availability in Poland expected in June–July 2026, estimated price 2499–2699 PLN.

If you care about having one device instead of two and live in the Huawei ecosystem, wait and buy. If you are an iPhone user or an Android user from another manufacturer, consider whether the lost integration functionality is worth the convenience. And if you already have a good smartwatch and headphones, there’s no reason to change.

FAQ, frequently asked questions about Watch Buds 2

When is the premiere of Huawei Watch Buds 2?

Huawei Watch Buds 2 will officially debut on April 20, 2026 during the global event accompanying the launch of the Huawei Pura 80 series. Availability in Poland is expected in the second quarter of 2026, with the most likely months being June and July.

How much will Huawei Watch Buds 2 cost?

Huawei has not yet announced an official price. We estimate it to be 2499–2699 PLN, based on the price of the first generation (2299 PLN) and expected improvements. The first generation cost 2299 PLN, so the new model will likely increase in price by 10–15%.

What headphones are in the Watch Buds 2?

The watch hides two bullet-type TWS earbuds (elongated capsules) with second-generation active noise cancellation (ANC 2.0). The expected battery life on a single charge is 5–6 hours, and the watch case charges them for a total of 20 hours of playback.

How does Watch Buds 2 differ from the first generation?

The main changes are: a thinner case (about 1.5 mm), longer battery life for the earbuds (5–6 hours instead of 4 hours), the HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0 system with AI Health Coach, Bluetooth 5.4, LDAC codec, blood pressure measurement, and full iPhone support. The price will increase by about 200–400 PLN.

Do the earbuds in the Watch Buds 2 sound like separate AirPods?

According to the specifications and initial leaks, yes. Support for the LDAC codec, larger drivers, and ANC 2.0 are expected to provide sound quality comparable to TWS earbuds in the 400–600 PLN segment. The first generation reached the level of around 250 PLN earbuds.

Where to buy accessories for the Watch Buds 2?

Replacement straps, protective glass for the dial, and films can be found at the homescreen.pl store, with the categories Huawei Watch 5 and watch straps offering compatible accessories for most Huawei models. For the Watch Buds 2, the first products will appear after the premiere.

Huawei showcases the second generation of the most unusual smartwatch on the market. The Watch Buds 2 debuts on April 20, 2026, during the Huawei Pura event, combining a watch with a pair of TWS headphones hidden under the dial.

The Huawei Watch Buds 2 is a smartwatch with built-in wireless headphones, which will have its official premiere on April 20, 2026, during the Huawei Pura event. The device continues the concept from 2022, opening the case with a light press on the dial, revealing two miniature TWS headphones with active noise cancellation inside. The second generation is expected to bring a new chip, HarmonyOS NEXT, and a set of AI features.

The first generation of Watch Buds cost 2299 PLN in Poland and was available in only one color. The version 2 is expected to be lighter, thinner, and equipped with better sound, while also opening the segment of “hybrid” audio-smart devices. We check everything we already know before the premiere.

Huawei Watch Buds 2, when is the premiere and availability in Poland

The manufacturer has confirmed the date of the official premiere, April 20, 2026. The presentation will take place as part of the global event dedicated to the new Pura 80 smartphone series by Huawei, alongside which the second generation of Watch Buds will also debut. The first generation of Watch Buds reached the European market a few months after its debut in China, so we will likely see the second one in Poland in the second quarter of 2026.

Global sales are expected to start within four to six weeks after the premiere. The Polish distribution of Huawei usually joins the rest of Europe, so June–July 2026 is a realistic availability date for the Watch Buds 2 with Polish trading partners. The first generation was available at Media Expert, x-kom, and the official Huawei store, among others.

Tip: If you plan to buy the Watch Buds 2 right after the premiere, it’s worth preparing a replacement strap and protective glass for the dial, as Huawei provides them in the package only for selected colors. Compatible accessories can be found in the category watch straps.

Specifications of Huawei Watch Buds 2, what we already know

Huawei has not yet released the full specifications, but leaks and regulatory documents indicate specific changes compared to the first generation. Below we summarize the confirmed and expected parameters.

Parameter	Watch Buds (2022)	Watch Buds 2 (2026)
Display	AMOLED 1.43″, 466 × 466 px	AMOLED 1.5″, LTPO (expected)
Case	Stainless steel, 47 mm	Aluminum alloy, ~46 mm (expected)
Earbuds	2× TWS with ANC, IP54	2× TWS with ANC 2.0 (expected)
Watch battery life	Up to 3 days	Up to 5 days (expected)
Earbud battery	~4 hours per charge	~5–6 hours (expected)
Battery capacity	410 mAh	~450 mAh (expected)
System	HarmonyOS 3.0	HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0
GPS	Dual-band L1 + L5	Dual-band L1 + L5
Health monitoring	TruSeen 5.0, SpO2	TruSeen 6.0, EKG, blood pressure (expected)
Watch water resistance	5 ATM	5 ATM
Connectivity	Bluetooth 5.2, NFC	Bluetooth 5.4, NFC
Sport modes	80+	100+ (expected)
Launch price (PL)	2299 zł	~2499–2699 zł (estimate)

The most important changes concern TWS earbuds. Huawei claims a better driver, second-generation active noise cancellation (ANC 2.0), and support for the LDAC codec, which theoretically will elevate sound quality to the level of separate earbuds costing 400–500 zł. This is crucial for those who consider the Watch Buds a real replacement for a pair of TWS.

How Huawei Watch Buds 2 works, a watch with hidden earbuds

The mechanism remains the same. The magnetic disc opens under the thumb, revealing two slots with earbuds. The earbuds charge inside the watch, the case serves as both a case and a power bank. When you don’t need music, the watch looks like a classic smartwatch with a round face.

This concept solves a daily inconvenience: carrying two devices (watch + earbud case) and managing two batteries. Watch Buds 2 integrates one with the other, and after removing the earbuds, the watch still shows notifications, measures heart rate, and tracks steps. In the first generation, the entire cycle of “tap, open, put on earbuds” took about 3 seconds. The new case is supposed to be thinner and lighter by about 8 g.

Note: The earbuds in Watch Buds 2 are the size of bullet-type earbuds (elongated capsules), not classic AirPods. People with small ears should try them on before purchasing; the dimensions of the first generation earbuds are 21.8 × 10.3 × 10.3 mm, and the new version is expected to be comparable.

AI Features and HarmonyOS NEXT in Watch Buds 2

The second generation debuts with the new system HarmonyOS NEXT 5.0, which Huawei presents as a separate platform from Android. In practice, this means three significant changes for the user of Watch Buds 2.

AI Health Coach, a health assistant based on a language model

The first generation measured parameters but could not interpret them. HarmonyOS NEXT introduces AI Health Coach, an assistant that analyzes pulse, sleep, activity, and suggests specific actions. Noticed worse sleep quality for three nights in a row? It will suggest a shorter nap or a change in meal time. This is a local feature, most calculations happen on the watch, without sending data to the cloud.

Smart headphone modes

The Watch Buds 2 headphones automatically adjust to the situation. Adaptive ANC recognizes the environment, enhancing noise reduction on the train, switching to transparent mode in the office. During a phone call, the voice isolation system cuts out background noise, which you will appreciate on a busy street or in a café.

Live conversation translation

The Watch Buds 2 supports live translation between several languages (including Polish). The feature works in tandem with a Huawei smartphone from the Pura 80 or Mate series, you hear the translation in the headphones, while the conversation partner sees the transcription on the phone screen. This is not a substitute for a translator but a help in simple situations (shopping, ordering in a restaurant, asking for directions).

Huawei Watch Buds 2 price, how much will it cost?

The manufacturer has not yet provided an official price, but based on the first generation and price trends in the hybrid wearables segment, we estimate the launch price of the Watch Buds 2 in Poland to be 2499–2699 PLN. For comparison:

Device	Price	Type
Huawei Watch Buds (1st gen)	2299 PLN	Smartwatch + headphones
Huawei Watch 5	1999 PLN	Flagship smartwatch
Huawei Watch GT 6	1499 PLN	Sport smartwatch
Huawei Watch Ultimate	3799 PLN	Premium smartwatch
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8	1899 PLN	Smartwatch with Wear OS
Apple Watch Series 10	2299 PLN	iOS smartwatch

Watch Buds 2 is positioned in the premium segment, you are not just paying for a better smartwatch, but for the convenience of wearing one device instead of two. If you still need a smartwatch and TWS, the sum of ~1500 PLN (watch) + ~800 PLN (ANC headphones) totals 2300 PLN. The difference becomes symbolic.

Watch Buds 2 vs first generation, what has changed

The first generation had three weak points: short battery life of the headphones (about 4 hours), thick case (14.99 mm), and limited compatibility with iPhone. The second generation addresses all three.

• Headphone battery, expected 5–6 hours of single use, with the possibility of recharging in the watch for a total of 20 hours of playback
• Thickness, the casing is thinner by about 1.5 mm thanks to the new magnetic mechanism
• iOS compatibility, full support for iPhone through the Huawei Health app (notifications, activity tracking, music control)
• Headphones, ANC 2.0, LDAC support, dual microphone with noise reduction
• Health, added blood pressure measurement (after calibration with a cuff) and real-time stress analysis
• Connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4 instead of 5.2, which reduces latency and increases range

Who is Huawei Watch Buds 2 for

Watch Buds 2 is not a device for everyone. If you already have a good pair of headphones and a smartwatch, a dual solution will not be better than dedicated devices. However, for three groups of users, it is a great choice.

People minimizing daily “carrying”, one device instead of two, one battery to keep track of, one charger in the bag. If you forget your headphone case at home or work every day, Watch Buds 2 physically solves that problem.

Travelers and commuters, quick access to headphones without taking the case out of the backpack, live translation while traveling, good call quality thanks to two microphones. Additionally, sleep monitoring will be useful on the plane.

Huawei ecosystem enthusiasts, if you have a Huawei Pura 80 smartphone or one from the Mate series, integration with HarmonyOS NEXT works smoothly. For iPhone and Android users from other manufacturers, functionality is reduced by 15–20%.

Our choice: We recommend Watch Buds 2 to those for whom the convenience of “one device” outweighs maximum sound quality and separate watch functions.

Alternatives to Huawei Watch Buds 2

If the concept of a hybrid device doesn’t convince you, it’s worth considering three classic combinations:

Smartwatch + separate TWS headphones (budget). Huawei Watch GT 5 (999 PLN) plus any pair of TWS headphones (300–500 PLN) will provide similar functions for less money. Minus: two devices to charge and carry.

Apple Watch + AirPods Pro 3. For iPhone users, this is probably the best combination, with full integration with iOS, dictation, Handoff, and Apple Music. The total cost is around 3400 PLN, but you get two separate devices that are the best in their categories. Matching accessories: Apple Watch bands and AirPods Pro 3.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 + Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. For Android and Samsung users, the Galaxy ecosystem offers seamless integration. Total cost: around 2800 PLN. On homescreen.pl you will find a full selection of cases for Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Buds 4 headphones.

What Will Be Missing in Watch Buds 2

The full specification is not yet available, but knowing Huawei’s strategy from previous generations, three areas can be identified where Watch Buds 2 will likely not match the competition.

• Google Pay / Apple Pay, HarmonyOS supports Huawei Pay, but in Poland, integration with banks is limited (only selected cards work)
• App Store, AppGallery does not match Google Play or the App Store, lacking popular fitness apps (Strava, AllTrails)
• GPS Support for Advanced Sports, despite dual-band L1+L5, the watch does not offer as precise analytics as Garmin or dedicated sports watches

If your main goal is professional training tracking, the Huawei Watch Ultimate or the Garmin series are a better choice. The Watch Buds 2 is more of a versatile everyday tool than specialized sports equipment.

Summary, it’s worth waiting for Huawei Watch Buds 2

The Huawei Watch Buds 2 is not a device for everyone, but it has no competition in its niche. The second generation fixes the weak points of its predecessor (battery, thickness, ANC) and adds HarmonyOS NEXT with AI features. Launch on April 20, 2026, availability in Poland expected in June–July 2026, estimated price 2499–2699 PLN.

If you value having one device instead of two and live in the Huawei ecosystem, wait and buy. If you are an iPhone user or an Android user from another manufacturer, consider whether the lost integration functionality is worth the convenience. And if you already have a good smartwatch and headphones, there is no reason to change.
