Huawei is once again pushing the boundaries of smartphone innovation with the launch of its groundbreaking tri-fold smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate XT. Following this major release, Huawei is inviting tech enthusiasts to experience its latest foldable technology firsthand at the brand’s largest Innovative Foldable Pop-up Store at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Running from 19 to 25 February 2025, the ‘Unfold the Classic’ exhibition showcases the seamless blend of advanced engineering, durability, and luxury craftsmanship in Huawei’s latest flagship lineup.

A Glimpse into the World’s First Tri-Fold Smartphone: HUAWEI Mate XT
Leading the showcase is the HUAWEI Mate XT, the world’s first commercially available tri-fold smartphone. This revolutionary device takes foldable technology to new heights with its ability to fold both inward and outward, thanks to Huawei’s cutting-edge Multi-Directional Flexible Material and the Advanced Precision Hinge System. These innovations ensure a slim, lightweight body without compromising durability, making the Mate XT a true game-changer in the industry.

The Power of Dual-Fold Technology: HUAWEI Mate X6
Alongside the Mate XT, visitors can also explore the HUAWEI Mate X6, which takes durability and functionality to the next level. Designed for everyday resilience, it features second-generation Kunlun Glass, a reinforced hinge system, and an Aviation-Grade Aluminum middle frame to withstand repeated folding and unfolding. A highlight of the exhibition includes a live demonstration where the Mate X6’s inner screen lifts a 150kg sports bike, proving its strength and endurance.

Luxury and Productivity Beyond Smartphones
Beyond foldables, Huawei is showcasing its premium wearable and tablet innovations. The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2 is designed for high-performance productivity, featuring a flagship-level PC experience, Huawei’s NearLink keyboard, and an anti-glare OLED PaperMatte display for optimal eye comfort. Meanwhile, the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate stands out with its sleek design and advanced tracking features, perfect for sports enthusiasts, including golfers who can benefit from real-time swing analysis and course information.

Be Part of the Future of Innovation
The ‘Unfold the Classic’ exhibition at Pavilion KL offers visitors an exclusive opportunity to experience Huawei’s latest advancements in technology. Open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, the pop-up store allows guests to test the newest foldable devices and even pre-order the HUAWEI Mate XT, available until 14 March 2025.

As the anticipation for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games builds, I had the pleasure of diving into the excitement at the Olympic Village Plazza of Paris by Visa pop-up at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s Centre Court during its launching. This event, running until 28 July 2024, is hosted by Visa – the official Worldwide Payment Technology Partner of the Olympic Games – and Maybank. It was an incredible experience that I just had to share!

Launching of ‘Home of Champions’ in Pavilion KL

Entering the Olympic Village
Stepping into the Olympic Village through a beautifully recreated Arc de Triomphe was a magical moment. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it set the stage for what was to come. Once inside, I found myself on an Olympic track filled with a variety of engaging games and activities. I couldn’t resist trying my hand at the Champion of Sports games, including football, basketball, bowling, and sprinting booths. The competitive spirit was contagious, and it was thrilling to participate and even win some fun rewards!

French Culinary Treats
No event celebrating France would be complete without amazing food, and this one did not disappoint. The food stalls were a highlight, offering a taste of France right in Kuala Lumpur. PAUL’s pastries were irresistible. You get to treat yourself to the limited ‘PAUL Olympic Pancake’ – free with a purchase of RM120 or more. By the way, the ‘flag street,’ adorned with the flags of participating countries, made for fantastic photo opportunities, and I snapped plenty of memorable shots.

Redemption Counter of Exclusive Paris 2024 Merchandise

Exclusive Paris 2024 Merchandise
One of the best parts of the day was shopping for exclusive Paris 2024 Olympic merchandise. By spending RM300 in a single receipt with Maybank Visa Debit card, you can redeem a stylish Paris 2024 Olympic umbrella. For those spending RM800 in two cumulative receipts, you get to choose between a Paris 2024 Olympic figurine or a plush, which looked adorable and were definitely on my wishlist.

‘Sports and Fraternity’ Photography Exhibition
The ‘Home of Champions’ activities around the mall added an extra layer of excitement. I visited the ‘Sports and Fraternity’ photography exhibition by the French Embassy, which runs until 11 August 2024. The exhibition features 24 stunning photographs from Agence France-Presse, capturing inspiring Olympic moments and celebrating unity and peace. It was a moving tribute to the spirit of the Games and left a lasting impression.

Screening of French Films at Dadi Cinema
To round off the day, you get to indulge in French arts and culture with screenings of two delightful French films at Dadi Cinema: ‘Le Petit Nicolas’ on 5 August 2024 and ‘Ride Above’ on 6 August 2024.
