Earlier today (12th April 2021), Huawei announced that its latest Vision S smart TV series will be arriving in the Malaysian market. The new TV will be launching on 20th April 2021, with the country being the first region outside of China to receive the company’s first smart TV.

As per a TechNave report, the Chinese tech giant will be launching two size variants, including a 55 inch and a 65 inch model. One of the notable features of the upcoming smart TV is the inclusion of the webcam on top. This enabled the users to make video calls through Huawei MeeTime at 1080p resolution. Furthermore, the display is also a 4K panel with support for 120Hz high refresh rate as well.

For a more seamless experience, the company has also enabled users to utilize the OneHop feature that works with compatible Huawei smartphones. This means that one would be able to project the screen of your smartphone on to the smart TV. For audio, the new Vision S smart TV series features quad 10W speakers on the rear, while the device can also be paired with the Sound X speaker and WiFI AX3 router.

Unfortunately, while the consumer electronics maker has announced the arrival of the new smart TVs and their launch dates, it has yet to divulge any information regarding pricing and availability. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding the upcoming launch.

Huawei officially unveiled the P40 series and Huawei Watch GT 2e last week at an online-only event in Paris. Long before that in November 2019, the Chinese telecom giant also launched MatePad Pro, its flagship tablet in China, which they eventually brought to Europe in February 2020. Now, the company is set to bring all of the above-mentioned products to Malaysia very soon.

Huawei has been facing difficulties in selling its devices in the international markets after the US government added it to the entity list in May 2019. But still, the company has been trying hard to bring its innovation to other nations apart from its home country China.

The biggest hurdle for Huawei to sell devices running Android is that it no longer has access to Google Mobile Services. Thus, all of its new Android devices including smartphones and tablets are devoid of Google Play Store and other most-used necessary Google services. This makes the Huawei-made devices a tough sell in global markets.

Thus, to overcome this situation, the Chinese tech giant released HMS Core (Huawei Mobile Services), which comes pre-installed on new devices from the company including the Huawei P40 Series and Huawei MatePad Pro that are about to launch in Malaysia. On the other hand, the Huawei Watch GT 2e, which is a sporty makeover of the original Huawei Watch GT 2 runs proprietary software.

The Malaysian launch, as well as the pricing of these Huawei devices, are unknown at the moment. However, the company is giving away a RM 30 discount voucher for simply subscribing to updates on these products on its official website. Ironically, this voucher cannot be used to buy any of the aforementioned products launching soon in the country.

For reference, we have listed the European pricing of the upcoming new Huawei gadgets along with their Malaysian Ringgit conversion rates.

The programme is dubbed  Huawei Shining Star Program and Huawei is the first country outside China where is is rolling out.

Huawei even has a HMS Integration challenge, in which app developers who complete the challenge of completing HMS Integration, get it to work in the Mate 30’s EMUI environment and get it published on Huawei’s App Gallery before a certain time will get some big prizes including cash. For example, if app developers complete the challenge before 31 October 2019 they will get a MYR500,000 awards package comprising MYR250,000 in ATL resources, MYR200,000 in media resources and MYR50,000 cash.
