The presentation of the new Freebox v8 should occur very soon. On social networks, the operator begins to raise the mayonnaise with winks to his community.
I promise, juror: the Freebox v8 is coming. Waited for several months, delayed by the coronavirus epidemic, the next Free box is well on its way. This is what the operator just recalled on social networks, taking advantage of a mysterious message published on June 30 by Georgette, the grandmother of Cantal, a figure invented by Orange against Free, but that the latter ended up by appropriate.

Free makes mayonnaise on the Freebox v8
The cryptic message seems to refer to the new generation of the Freebox, and perhaps to a date – an announcement or launch on July 8, for example. The fact remains that two official accounts belonging to the operator have rebounded from the excitement caused by Georgette, who only speaks when there is good news about Free, and who in another tweet mentioned a future box.

This Freebox v8, whose commercial name should be Freebox Pop, will be a box for the mid-range segment, between the premium offer of the Freebox Delta and the refined formula of the Freebox One. It will renew the operator’s catalog, which in this segment can count on the Freebox Crystal (v5), released in 2013, and the Freebox Mini 4K (v6), launched in 2015.
Corridor noises suggest that the Freebox v8 will rely on Android TV – an operating system that is already fitted to the Freebox Mini 4K – and that it will be able to manage speeds of up to 2.5 Gbit / s, if the line has sufficient capacity. This is less than the Freebox Delta, whose ceiling reaches 10 Gbit / s, but it is better than the Freebox Mini 4K, which only “goes” to 1 Gbit / s.
