Huawei releases flagship foldable HUAWEI Mate Xs 2

The folding phone’s superior hardware unlocks a new world of possibilities, offering enhanced features from the Huawei Mobile Services Ecosystem. Huawei Mobile Services takes full advantage of the software and hardware synergies, bringing users new experiences across the board.

HUAWEI has launched the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, HUAWEI’s brand-new flagship foldable smartphone, offering a blend of powerful technology and an upgraded user experience on HMS apps. The HUAWEI Watch GT 3 Pro has also been launched, bridging the gap between smart and fitness watches.

Showcased through the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, HUAWEI Mobile Services (HMS) continues to elevate the All-Scenario Seamless AI Life Experience for global consumers through its strong integration between hardware and software.

HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 & Petal Maps– making travel more seamless than ever

Optimised for the foldable screen, Petal Maps’ unique functions provide users with even more immersive navigation on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2. Prioritising user interactions, Petal Maps’ leading user experience design and colour reproduction offer a true-to-life, easy-to-use experience.

Featuring a colour classification system, a rich array of map layers, and 3D effects for iconic landmarks, the app’s professional colour gamut management and colour reproduction enhance the compatibility between Petal Maps and the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2. This ensures that the maps onscreen are clear and accessible, capturing the beauty of real-world settings.

The latest version of Petal Maps includes a newly released lighting effect in dark mode, which shows road lights and building lights while driving at night or in dark mode, to make the map more realistic. 

In addition, personalised skins for each of the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter) have been launched, with temperature and precipitation layers added. Users can switch between these themed skins based on their personal preferences, and view future temperature and precipitation changes using the map visualisation effect.

What’s more, with Lane-level guidance, lane-specific information, and arrow, Petal Maps offers users a better view of their surroundings on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, all thanks to the additional space the foldable screen offers. 

HUAWEI Browser, HUAWEI Books, HUAWEI Video, and Petal Search – Optimised for the wider screen with Smart Multi-Window

HUAWEI Mobile Cloud on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 makes data management easier than ever before for users, by marrying nimble smart office solutions with mobile convenience.

Photos taken on your phone, or files saved on the device at hand, can be synced in just a matter of seconds, where they can be browsed or edited at a moment’s notice. Features like automatic backups, cross-device syncing of frequently used data, and Find Device, mean that precious memories are always at your fingertips.

The enhanced HUAWEI Browser also brings users an efficient, foldable web browsing experience on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2. Huawei’s AI web layout optimisation feature optimises the web page content on the foldable, solving any issues from web browsers which may be designed for unfolded screens.

This new browsing experience, characterised by effortlessly readable text and layouts, differentiates itself from that on tablets and PCs.

Harnessing the unique folding capabilities of the HUAWEI Mate Xs, HUAWEI Books also incorporates its “double page turning” interface, which reproduces the look and feel of traditional books on the phone. Accompanied by unique features such as the read aloud feature and smart translations in over 40 languages, users are in for an enjoyable read. With the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2’s large display, the app can bring more text into view, ensuring that the full allure of the written word is captured onscreen. 

On the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, you can double efficiency and double the fun, as news, applications, shopping, nearby services, and more in Petal Search can be displayed smoothly in a dual-window layout, reducing frequent switching between applications. With Smart Multi-Window, consumers can use one screen for reading the news and shopping online, while using another screen for downloading or updating your favourite applications.

GameCenter on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 Bigger is better, with more room for enhanced gameplay

Nothing matches the sheer exhilaration of gaming on a big screen. With its vast game library and exclusive benefits, GameCenter on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 is a great place for users to unleash the gamer within and enjoy games such as State of Survival and Mobile Legends: BangBang.

AppGallery on the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 – Big-Screen Apps Brought to You

Leveraging the larger screen of the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, HUAWEI AppGallery comes preinstalled with a wide range of premium large-screen apps tailored to foldable phones.

To enhance the user experience, AppGallery has launched a comprehensive developmental framework and design specifications specifically for foldable phones. In addition to offering a wide range of apps, AppGallery supports the App Multiplier feature, which allows two pages within the same app to be displayed on each of the phone’s screens. For example, when using shopping apps that support App Multiplier feature, you can open two items side-by-side for a better comparison of price and details, avoiding the headache of constantly switching from page-to-page.

AppGallery has continued to grow its foldable phone ecosystem, actively encouraging developers to create foldable screen adaptations for existing apps.

The latest in the GT Watch Series, the HUAWEI Watch GT 3 Pro brings users more fashionable and refined choices with a new interface design, high-end materials, clear large screen, and different colours and styles of watch faces. It will be available in two premium design editions – Ceramic and Titanium.

With the release of the HUAWEI Watch GT 3 Pro Huawei has also launched a new “Sense” Series of watch faces. Reimagining digital watch face design, they incorporate the fine-grained details and classic look seen on traditional timepieces. The result is a wholly unique digital aesthetic which pays homage to time-honoured designs.
