Today, I had the pleasure of attending the much-anticipated Huawei Innovative Product Launch in Kuala Lumpur, and I am excited to share all the thrilling details with you! Huawei continues to raise the bar for tech enthusiasts and creatives alike with their latest wearable and tablet releases—designed not only to inspire but also to deliver superior performance across various lifestyles.

Huawei WATCH GT 5 Series: Fitness Meets Elegance
One of the major highlights of the event was the unveiling of the Huawei WATCH GT 5 Series. These stylish, high-performance smartwatches come in two editions—the WATCH GT 5 and the WATCH GT 5 Pro—offering something for every type of user.

What stood out most for me was the refined design—aerospace-grade titanium alloy and nanocrystal ceramic make these watches durable and light on the wrist. For those of you who, like me, are looking for more than just an accessory, this is where these smartwatches excel. They come equipped with Huawei TruSense technology, allowing for comprehensive health monitoring, such as heart rate, SpO2, and sleep tracking. I also found the menstrual cycle tracking feature to be a thoughtful addition for female users.

But the most impressive feature, especially for the fitness fanatics out there, is the HUAWEI Sunflower Positioning System, which offers unmatched precision for trail running and hiking. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a casual jogger, you’ll appreciate the 40% boost in route accuracy and real-time navigation—even in challenging terrains!

The Pro edition also includes a golf course mode and topographic maps for trail running, making it the perfect companion for both fitness and adventure enthusiasts. With prices starting from RM1,099, this series is a steal for anyone who values fitness and style.

Huawei WATCH Ultimate: Adventure Meets Elegance
For those looking for something more rugged, Huawei also introduced the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate (Green Edition), which marries cutting-edge design with exceptional adventure-focused features. Its green bezel, created using nano-tech ceramic, symbolizes the spirit of exploration.

Golfers will particularly love this smartwatch as it offers precise data on wind speed, green slope compensation, and access to over 180 golf course maps. It’s also 100-meter water-resistant, so it’s ready to accompany you from the course to deep-water adventures. Starting at RM3,799, this watch balances adventure, elegance, and functionality perfectly.

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2: Creativity Unleashed
On the creative side, I was amazed by the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12.2, the ultimate tablet for professionals and artists. The 12.2-inch Tandem OLED PaperMatte display offers stunning visuals with vibrant colors and an anti-glare design, perfect for long hours of work or play. Whether you’re sketching, designing, or video editing, this display is a game-changer.

Huawei has even integrated Local Batik Drawing Tools in collaboration with ASWARA, offering digital batik tools that bring Malaysian culture to life in the GoPaint App. As someone who loves exploring new creative outlets, this was a unique and exciting feature.

Starting from RM4,599, the MatePad Pro 12.2 is ideal for artists, designers, and professionals who want power and creativity in one sleek package.

My Verdict
Overall, this launch event highlighted Huawei’s commitment to innovation, whether it’s enhancing our fitness routines, pushing the boundaries of adventure, or unlocking our creative potential. If you’re in the market for a new smartwatch or tablet that seamlessly blends technology, design, and functionality, Huawei’s latest lineup should be at the top of your list.

Huawei unveiled an amazing range of products meant to improve your tech lifestyle, including the ultra-slim and featherweight HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2″, the powerful HUAWEI MateBook D16, the fashionable HUAWEI FreeClip earbuds, and the updated HUAWEI WATCH GT 4. Let’s check out these gadgets one-by-one.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2”: Where Style Meets Functionality
Leading the way is the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2, which is praised for being the lightest and thinnest large-screen tablet available. I am really amazed with how thin and light it is! This tablet, which comes in Golden Black and Green, has a 94% screen-to-body ratio and a flexible OLED screen that is only 5.5 mm thick. It weighs 580 g. The HUAWEI SOUNDTM system and HUAWEI X-TrueTM Display on the tablet produce an incredibly immersive audio-visual experience.

The tablet’s seamless integration with the HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd generation), the world’s first consumer gadget enabled by NearLink technology, guarantees a responsive writing experience. MatePad Pro 13.2″ is a productivity powerhouse with PC-Level WPS Office compatibility and multi-window features. Fast charging is ensured by a large 10100 mAh battery with 88W wired HUAWEI SuperCharge technology, reaching 85% in just 40 minutes.

HUAWEI MateBook D16: Power Meets Portability
The HUAWEI MateBook D16 stands out as the ideal large-screen, lightweight laptop, powered by the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 H-series Processor. With a spacious 16-inch display, the MateBook D16 handles intensive multi-tasking effortlessly, making it perfect for the Smart Office era. The FullView display, ultra-narrow bezels, and Super Device connectivity ensure an immersive and collaborative user experience.

Boasting a sleek design with 4.6mm bezels, a long-distance HUAWEI Metaline Antenna, and a robust 70Wh battery, the MateBook D16 is a testament to Huawei’s commitment to combining cutting-edge technology with user-centric design.

HUAWEI FreeClip: Style Meets Sound
To me, this is definitely a game-changer. The revolutionary HUAWEI FreeClip, redefines fashion and audio experience with open-ear listening technology. Available in Black and Purple, these earbuds are not just audio accessories; they’re fashion-forward statement pieces adaptable to various styles.

Designed for maximum comfort, the HUAWEI FreeClip features the Comfort Bean, Acoustic Ball, and the C-bridge, providing a secure and comfortable fit. With an ultra-hearing Dual Driver, these earbuds deliver a powerful audio experience with an impressive battery life of up to 36 hours. I actually tried these on myself and it held on to my ears firm, less worry about losing an earpiece during workout.
