Huawei had revealed in its latest flagship foldable, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 in China last month. Previously, the its predecessor, the Huawei Mate Xs was exclusively on sale in the Chinese market only. 

But to much surprise, the company is apparently planning to bring the new Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable device to be available in the global market as the company announced that it will be holding a flagship product launch event on May 18th (Thursday) next week, at 8pm Beijing Time (UTC +8) / 5:30pm IST (UTC +5:30).

This launch event is set to announce several of Huawei’s 2022 highly antipicated products to the global markets like the Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro and the Huawei Watch Fit 2. The event will be livestreamed online via Huawei official portals on Facebook and YouTube.

In addition to the global launch, the company is also holding an exclusive Malaysia Premier Launch for its flagship device on 19th May 2022 5pm MYT, which Huawei is expected to announce roadshows and promotions for its products at the event.

To recap, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 was launched earlier in China as a premium foldable smartphone that folded outwards instead of the conventional inwards you would find on the Oppo Find N and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. The screen is 6.5-inch OLED display when folded and when unfolded, it expands to a 7.8-inch OLED with a resolution of 2480 x 2200 pixels. The screen has a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Onboard the Huawei Mate Xs 2, you will find the Snapdragon 888 4G chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Battery-wise, the standard Huawei Mate Xs 2 has a 4600mAh capacity while the Collector’s edition comes with a bigger 4880mAh battery. Both variants come with 66W fast charging support which the company claims can refill the battery to 90% in just 30 minutes.

The Huawei Mate Xs 2 features a powerful triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, a 13MP ultrawide lens with f/2.2 aperture, and an 8MP telephoto camera with f/2.4 aperture, OIS and 3x optical zoom.

The post Huawei Mate Xs 2 to Launch Globally on May 18th, Alongside Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

Along with the Huawei Mate Xs 2 launch last month, Huawei had also revealed its latest premium smartwatch, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro, for the Chinese market. 

To ensure that the smartwatch is always up to date on the latest software, Huawei has also pushed out the HarmonyOS 2.1 May update for the Watch GT 3 Pro, which includes several new features and software improvements for the device. 

The HarmonyOS 2.1.0.327 May Update has an update file size of 112MB and is officially available for Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro owners in China starting from today. Its changelog is as follows:

1. Support added for stand-alone and non-stand-alone WeChat Pay functionality.
2. Support for interconnectivity added for iOS devices (after Android and HarmonyOS devices), which includes connectivity across contactless transportation card wallets and music control functions.
3. New health apps, that include a breathing health tracker that scans and analyses your blood oxygen levels via the watch to indicate your current respiratory health. (Not available for iOS devices)

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro is a premium flagship smartwatch from Huawei. The device features a high-definition AMOLED display, ceramic body, and sapphire glass for its luxurious design. The smartwatch comes in two variants in China –  43mm and 46mm. The display size on the 46mm version is 1.43-inch while the 43mm version features a 1.32-inch display.

One of the highlighting features of this smartwatch is the ECG functionality to check the user’s heart’s rhythm and electrical activity.

A new lawsuit has been filed against Huawei. Sony is aiming on fighting the company over one of its trademarks related to its smartwatch. The trademark in question is for the Watch GT.

For those unaware, the Chinese smartphone maker launches its flagship smartwatch series under the “Watch GT” branding. According to LetsGoDigital, the company had applied trademark for the words “GT 3” and “GT 5” at the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), which is where the dispute between Sony Interactive Entertainment and Huawei began. During a trademark application process any third party is allowed to file an objection. So back in 2016, the Japanese tech giant had filed an appeal against Huawei’s trademark.

In 2019, the company had filed another petition against Huawei’s trademarks as well, but, by the time of the second dispute, the Watch GT and GT 2 had already been launched in the global market. Now, Sony aims to continue this fight by filing a lawsuit against Huawei in the European Union back in August 2021. As of right now, the legal procedures are still underway and the results cannot be predicted this early on.

The reason for the company’s objection to the “GT” branding is related to its popular Gran Turismo IP. This is a Japanese series of racing simulation video games that is developed by Polyphony Digital for the PlayStation console, which is owned by Sony. In other words, it aims to gain exclusive rights to the “GT” trademark for its Gran Turismo.

All of these spares come with 90 days of warranty from the date they are fitted.

As mentioned earlier, both ‘no-cost replacement plan’ and ‘spare parts replacement’ do not require the customer to visit a nearby service center as they come under the company’s new doorstep service called ‘VIP Customer Services’.

To use this service, the customer will have to make an appointment for the service through a dedicated IVR / toll-free number 1800-209-6555. Once that process gets finished, the company will pick and drop the product from the customer’s place for the repair or replacement.

Huawei is continuously working to bring new innovative devices for its consumers. Recently, Huawei has come up with its first foldable smartphone, Mate X at MWC 2019. Now, they are set to launch the new Huawei P30 and P30 Pro at an event in Paris, France. As per the latest reports from our folks at WinFuture, it is revealed that the Chinese company is allegedly working on two new Watch GT smartwatches. Indeed as like of the Huawei Watch GT, these two new variants will also work on its own Lite OS.

Last year, Huawei announced the first Watch GT smartwatch alongside Huawei Mate 20 Pro.  Now, it is speculated that the new variants of the device will make their debut with the launch of Huawei Mate P30 Pro and P30 on March 26 in France.

According to the report, the new models are named as Huawei Watch GT Active and Huawei Watch GT Elegant. Both these smartwatches will have a different set of features and designs. Users can see the “Active” model in the image above in “Dark Green” and “Orange” colours. It will cost 249 Euros which roughly translates to $280 or 1882 Yuan. While for the “Elegant” model you have to shell out 229 Euros (~$ 257 or 1727 Yuan). Moreover, Huawei Watch GT is retailing for 199 Euros aka $224 throughout the world.

These two new smartwatches obviously will elope some new upgrades both in Software and Hardware. Although, we can clearly see some key differences in the new models with respect to the old Watch GT. These new variants of the Watch GT carry a different appearance. Its physical buttons, overall finish and the metal colour, are the key aspects that make it different than its predecessor. Furthermore, there’s no extreme change in the design of new alledged versions of Watch GT.

In the recent past, Wear OS has received new upgrades but some issues remained intact. As like, Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset is not receiving any incremental updates to fix problems that people are facing in day to day operations. Further, decreasing interest among third-party development companies aiming regular support are the primary concern among smartwatch manufacturers. This behaviour is the main reason for the elevation of big manufacturers not to produce WearOS smartwatches anymore.

Huawei has finally unveiled its latest smartwatch – the Huawei Watch GT. The wearable device was announced alongside the Huawei Mate 20 series at an event held earlier today in London. The Watch GT isn’t really a successor of the Huawei Watch 2 as expected, but focuses on fitness tracking rather than being a complete watch studded with features like the Apple Watch 4 series. One interesting thing about the smartwatch is that it doesn’t run on WearOS rather, it runs on Huawei’s own LightOS. This is the first watch to feature the LightOS, by the way.

Huawei Watch GT comes with a classic design and is made of 316L stainless steel with ceramic bezels. It features a 1.39-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 454x454pixels. The watch is powered by a Cortex-M4 chipset with low power and high power processors. Thus, the device has a very durable battery life. Huawei says the battery can last up to 30 days if you only receive notifications (no heart rate tracking or GPS), 2 weeks if you use heart rate tracking and exercise for 1:30 hour per week and 22 hours of continuous GPS, heart rate sensing and always on screen. It’s rated at 5ATM water resistance.

Embedded under the smartwatch is an optical heart rate sensor on its bottom which uses 6 LEDs. The sensor is backed by Huawei’s Truseen 3.0 technology which promises to be more efficient in reading your heart rate and also learn it over time. The watch also comes with GPS that can be used to track your daily activity and training in conjunction with Huawei’s Health Assistant app. Oher features include a built-in altimeter as well as step and sleep tracking features.

Huawei is yet to release the price of the Watch GT. We’ll keep you updated when that is done.

Huawei is expected to launch the Watch GT along with the Mate 20 series on October 16. Ahead of the launch, a smartwatch purported to be the Huawei Watch GT Classic or Fashion has been spotted in a leaked render. The Watch GT is expected to be available in two variants, the second being the Watch GT Sport. The Watch GT Classic variant uses a black and silver bezel combination as can be seen on the render.

The new Huawei smartwatch also packs two buttons on the side and can still be operated via the touchscreen. The watch will also have Bluetooth which is statutory and will have several other sensors like compass, GPS, pressure sensor and an accelerometer. The watch likely also have a heart rate sensor but that isn’t confirmed. A recent FCC listing had confirmed the presence of NFC and a 410mAh battery. However, the battery size is pretty impressive. Moreso, it is bigger than the 291.8mAh cell onboard the latest Apple Watch 4.  Despite the big battery, the Watch GT will also support 5W charging using a charging pad. The charging pad utilises a USB Type-C port.

The Huawei Watch GT Classic is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s newly unveiled Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset. The smartwatch should also come price at around €199 ($172) in the GT Sport and €229 ($198) for the Watch GT Classic.

Rumors have it that the Huawei Watch GT is an upcoming smartwatch from the company. It is speculated to go official on the Oct. 16. On the very same day, Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro flagship phones are confirmed to get announced. A new Huawei smartwatch with a model number of FTN-B19 has recently received approval from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. It is believed this smartwatch may get unleashed as the Huawei Watch GT or Watch X. Promotional materials of the alleged Watch GT have appeared today to confirm some of its key features.

The above poster refers to the smartwatch as Fortuna which could be the codename of the Huawei Watch GT. The images of the smartwatch in the promo materials show that its design bears resemblance with Huawei Watch 2 Sport. Some of the fitness features available on the smartwatch include running plan, real-time coaching, and training effect analysis. It will be also able to distinguish between different sports activities such as running, biking, swimming, mountaineering, hiking, trail running and triathlon.

The Huawei Watch GT is expected to last for 14 days in watch mode with all the features turned on. It can last for 7 days in watch mode with always-on screen. In GPS mode, it can last for 20 hours.

The battery performance of the Watch GT seems to be very impressive since the Huawei Watch 2 could last for up to 2 days with general use. The Watch 2 features a 420mAh battery, but the FCC documents of the Watch GT has revealed that it is equipped with a slightly smaller 410mAh battery. The probable reason why the Watch GT will be able to deliver better performance is that it could be equipped with all new Snapdragon 3100.

Through the FCC documents, it has been revealed that Watch GT could be coming with other features such as Android Wear OS, 5W wireless charging with USB-C enabled charging pad, GPS and NFC.

It was revealed earlier this month that Huawei has got a new smartwatch in the works when the watch was certified in Europe. The smartwatch adopts the moniker Huawei Watch GT but details of the wearable device were not revealed. The Watch GT has now reportedly been certified by the FCC. This time around some details of the device also tags along on the certification page.

The Huawei Watch GT is revealed to pack a 410mAh battery which is slightly smaller than the battery capacity of the Watch 2 with a 420mAh battery. However, the battery size is pretty impressive. Moreso, it is bigger than the 291.8mAh cell onboard the latest Apple Watch 4.  Despite the big battery, the Watch GT will also support 5W charging using a charging pad. The charging pad utilises a USB Tye-C port.

Other features revealed to be on the Watch GT includes a GPS and as such will come with several fitness-focused features. The smartwatch is also expected to come with NFC support. With this feature, users will be able to make contactless payments via Google Pay, Huawei Pay and in China perhaps AliPay, Tencent Pay and others. While the FCC document doesn’t reveal any more than these, the Huawei Watch GT is expected to be powered by Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor. The device will also likely run Wear OS from the go. Huawei is expected to launch the Watch GT on October 16 when the Mate 20 series will also be launched.

Yesterday, Qualcomm announced the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 for wearables. Following this announcement, we expect upcoming watches to be powered by the new chipset.

Two new smartwatches from Huawei and Honor just got certified at the European certification office and we have a feeling they may be powered by the new chipset. The two devices are named Huawei Watch GT and Honor Watch respectively. The certification doesn’t reveal anything about their specs and design though. However, there are guesses as to what they will be like and pack.

Huawei’s smartwatches have a circular design and both watches are expected to stick to that. They are also expected to pack 4GB of storage and 768MB of RAM, same as previous watches. However, the likely new processor and the new version of Wear OS should bring much more interesting features.

The Honor Watch is speculated to be the cheaper of the two seeing as Honor products are usually less expensive. However, that cheaper price tag may mean it will be missing some features that may be present in the Huawei Watch GT such as LTE connectivity.

It is unknown when these smartwatches will be announced but we won’t be surprised if Huawei unveiled its own watch at the Mate 20 event in October.
