Yesterday, Huawei made a big move for its smartphone strategy. The company rebranded its 12 year old Huawei P series lineup as the Huawei Pura. The name, pronounced “piu rua”, signifies purity and beauty in Spanish.

The company had been working towards this rebranding for the past 6 years, and had applied for the trademark back in 2019.

The Pura series could feature four new devices with the unique triangular camera design that we’ve been seeing for the past few days.

  • Huawei Pura 70
  • Huawei Pura 70 Pro
  • Huawei Pura 70 Pro+
  • Huawei Pura 70 Ultra

The Ultra version is speculated to be the successor to the P series’ Art Edition, boasting the same configuration as the Pro+ model but with an enhanced design.

As for the launch, rumors say we could see the devices launch as soon as April 18. But no official word yet.

If you want to know more about the Huawei Pura series and what to expect from the lineup, we have a special story on the same.

Do you guys remember the HMD Fusion concept that we saw back at MWC 2024? Well, during the announcement, the company didn’t reveal much about the concept, except that it was similar to the concept of modules, aka attachments for your smartphone, that’ll add more features to the device.

Now, HMD is hyping things up via social media posts in Australia, Benelux, and France. The company shared a graphic of a smartphone with add-ons in it. 

The text on the bottom right shows a “Coming Soon” tagline, hinting that the company may soon debut its first Fusion phones in these regions.

JBL has launched new smart glasses in China, likely based on its Soundgear Frames platform. The new glasses, translated “Yinyue Fan,“ come with a transparent design and feature a custom linear track-type driver unit for clear sound quality. You can listen to music, take calls, and get up to 8 hours of usage time with these glasses. The best part, the glasses automatically turn on when you put them on.

Remember the Huawei Matebook X Pro 2024 laptop with the Core Ultra 9 series chip that I mentioned a few days ago? It boasted of being the lightest Core Ultra 9 laptop on the market, weighing less than 1kg.

US lawmakers, particularly Republican officials, are reportedly not happy with this achievement. They have criticized the Biden government for allowing Huawei access to chips made by an American chip maker, Intel.
