HUAWEI Consumer Business Group held its HUAWEI APAC Smart Office Launch 2022 in Thailand today, showcasing a wide range of Smart Office products to the APAC consumers including HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 11, HUAWEI MateBook 16s, HUAWEI MateBook D16, HUAWEI MateView SE, HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2, HUAWEI WiFi Mesh3, AX3 Pro HUAWEI Stylish Backpack and HUAWEI Wireless Mouse. They come endowed with technological innovations in aesthetics, display, performance, connectivity, and interaction, which are designed to maximize creativity and ease communications.

These products were all designed with an all-scenario design concept in mind: “Huawei focuses on a 1+8+N concept to connect a wide range of products and serve 5 scenarios better including Smart Office, Fitness & Health, Entertainment, Smart Home and Easy Travel,” said Louie Lyu, the President of Huawei Device Asia Pacific, at his opening speech. The 1+8+N concept he speaks of is the use of the HUAWEI user’s smartphone as One (1) center, through which HUAWEI’s ecosystem partners can connect to and serve the user across Eight (8) supporting devices to create a fully-connected IoT environment with Endless (N) services. Lyu asserts that “Huawei will continue to put consumer at the priority” amidst these developments.

Since 2018, Huawei has worked to build an all-encompassing smart office framework, based around two core capabilities: cross-device collaboration and ecosystem integration. This latest release extends Drag-to-Connect capabilities to more devices, streamlining the process of connecting and interacting on multiple devices. Furthermore, the launch gives new prominence to the HUAWEI Mobile App Engine platform, which makes more than 15,000 mobile apps available to PC users, bringing Huawei’s vision of “Boundless Creation, Seamless Communication” closer to reality. “The Asia Pacific market has always been one of the most important regions for Huawei and we are always committed to offer the most innovative product to elevate your daily lives,” said Yu Chengdong (Richard Yu), CEO of Huawei’s Consumer BG.
