Huawei's latest piece of gear is wild. The MateBook Fold Ultimate Design looks like a 13-inch laptop on the outside, until you open it to reveal an 18-inch foldable screen that's just 7.3 mm thick. For reference, an iPhone 16 has a depth of 7.8 mm.

Huawei launched the world's first tri-fold smartphone in September 2024, but it was only available in China. Now the company has announced the global launch of the Mate XT, though you might still have a search on your hands to find one.

The true wireless earphone market has become pretty saturated since the first pair made their Kickstarter debut in 2014, but Huawei seems to have found a way to stand out from the crowd with the fashion-focused FreeClip open-ears.

Huawei has launched a breakthrough short-range wireless connection tech, aiming to combine the advantages of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Faster, more efficient and with a vastly reduced delay, it's also got more than 300 companies and institutions on board.

Though smartwatches and true-wireless earphones have only been around for a fairly short time, their respective marketplaces are already pretty crowded. To stand out, Huawei has combined the two for the Watch Buds.

Earlier in the year, Honor launched a flagship foldable smartphone called the Magic V, but the former Huawei sub-brand released the handset in China only. Now its second folding phone, the Magic Vs, is pegged for international availability.

Following a few recent teaser looks, Huawei has launched its latest take on the folding phone, the P50 Pocket. The stylish clamshell handset brings a small outer notification window, some intriguing camera technology, and a flush fold.

It's been another bumper year for smartwatches, with manufacturers improving the technology that drives them while cramming in more features and better sensors. Here's our pick of the best smartwatches of 2021.

Chinese smartphone brand Honor has launched its first flagship phone since parting ways from Huawei late last year. The Magic 3 series comprises three models, which benefit from Qualcomm chipsets and access to the Play Store and Google services.

Since being frozen out of dealings with US companies, Huawei phones and other gadgets have been unable to run the full-fat version of Android, complete with Google apps and the Play Store. Now it's launched its own competitor: HarmonyOS.

About two years ago, China's Huawei followed Samsung in launching a foldable phone. The Mate X was followed a year later by the similar looking but faster Mate XS, and now the company has launched the Mate X2, which adds another display into the mix.
