Redmi AirDots 3 receive Bluetooth certification; may launch in early 2021

The first-generation Redmi AirDots were launched in March last year as an affordable version of the truly wireless earbuds that the Mi brand sells. These offered Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and were priced at RMB 99 (about Rs 1,000) in China and hit the Indian market as the Redmi Earbuds S at a price tag of Rs 1,799. These were followed-up by the Redmi AirDots 2 in July 2020 at the same price tag and design as the first-generation model.

Redmi AirDots 3 launch

Considering the second-generation earbuds were launched just 5 months ago, we can expect the Redmi AirDots 3 launch to still be at least a couple of months away. However, it is likely these will launch in early 2021 considering the Xiaomi sub-brand has already started collecting the relevant certifications needed ahead of the launch. To recall, the Redmi AirDots 2 received Bluetooth certification in April 2019, four months before their official launch. Little else is known about AirDots 3 at the moment, but we can expect upgrades in sound quality and battery life, along with a smaller profile, from them.
