Huawei announced its new smartwatch, the Watch GT 4, in two sizes. We’ve already talked about those two devices. That’s not the only thing the company introduced during its press event in Barcelona, however. Huawei also announced a new tablet with an innovative screen, new flagship earbuds, and some eyewear.
The Huawei MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition is the company’s new tablet with innovative screen
Let’s kick things off with a tablet. The Huawei MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition is its name. This is basically a special edition variant of the MatePad 11.5. What makes it so special? Well, its display.
This tablet comes with a PaperMatte screen, which has a nano-etched screen coating. That makes the display feel like a piece of paper, kind of, and it also reduces glare considerably. On top of that, it reduces eye strain, and brings a more natural writing experience with the second-gen M-Pencil stylus.
It shares the same specs as the MatePad 11.5. That means we’re getting an 11.5-inch TFT LCD display here, with a 2200 x 1440 resolution. That display also has a 120Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC fuels the device, but it supports 4G connectivity only.
The device ships with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A 13-megapixel main camera sits on the back, while an 8-megapixel shooter is included on the front. The device also includes a 7,700mAh battery, and supports 22.5W charging.
Huawei’s MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition is priced at €500, and comes in a Space Gray color.
The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 also got announced during the event
The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 are the company’s new earbuds. These are the company’s flagship truly wireless earbuds, basically. They come with a dual driver system, which should offer clearer treble and “booming base”.
You’re also getting a Triple Adaptive EQ, and support for the LDAC and L2HC 2.0 Hi-Res audio codecs. An updated Intelligent Dynamic ANC 3.0 system is also a part of the package, as is a Pure Voice 2.0 mic system.
The company says you can get up to 31 hours of battery, including the charging case. These earbuds can also pair with two devices at the same time, and they basically look like the FreeBuds Pro 2. They’re priced at €200, and will go on sale on October 11 across Europe.
Huawei also introduced a new version of its smart glasses
The Huawei Eyewear 2 is also something the company announced. These are basically Huawei’s smart glasses. They come with built-in speakers, which can last for 11 hours of playtime.
Interchangeable Zeiss prescription lenses are also a part of the offer. Huawei used a titanium frame to make these, to make them more durable, and to decrease the weight. You’ll find touch controls on the sides.
These smart glasses will go on sale in Europe from October 18, and they’re priced at €300.
