The Honor Vision launched as the first commercially available product powered by Huawei’s Harmony OS. Today, Huawei announced its own smart screen – the Huawei Vision which also runs Harmony OS. We actually wish they gave it a different name.
The Huawei Vision sports a 4K Quantum Dot display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and comes in 55”, 65”, 75”, and 85” versions. However, only the 65” and 75” models will be available for now. The other two sizes will come later. There is a Honghu Smart Chip inside for Huawei’s AI Picture Quality Engine.
Huawei doesn’t want you to call it a TV because it is much more than that. Nevertheless, you still get TV functions. The Huawei Vision is an IoT Hub for all your HiLink smart home products and is always listening for your commands.
There is a motorized pop-up camera which Huawei calls AI-Eye similar to the one present in the Honor Vision Pro for video calls, face recognition and tracking, skeletal joint recognition (AI fitness), and AI Kids (pitch and body recognition for games).
The Huawei Vision has an 8 (speakers) + 1 (subwoofer)+ 1 (refractor) intelligent sound system that provides a professional 5.1 sound effect. It also has intelligent sound field modeling and beam control.
The Huawei Vision supports One-Hop projection which allows users to project what is on their phone on to the display with a single touch to the remote. There is also Intelligent Live Control which allows you to control the device with your smartphone while Huawei Share allows you to easily send files like pictures to the TV.
Talking about the remote, Huawei has gone with a controller with a circular touchpad at the top. There is a dedicated microphone button flanked on the left by the Return key and on the right by the Menu key. The remote also has a power button, a smart key, and volume control keys. At the base of the remote is the One-Hop chip area which you tap with your phone to seamlessly project what is on it on to the Huawei Vision a 60fps.
The touch remote controller connects via Bluetooth 5.0 and has a slim profile and should be comfortable to hold. There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom for charging it and Huawei says you only have to charge it once in 3 months.
Huawei didn’t reveal a price for the Huawei Vision but it will be available first in its home country of China before any other market.
