As reported before, Huawei Malaysia is set to introduce the new HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, marking the return of the Mate Series to the Malaysian market three years after the launch of the HUAWEI Mate 50. Alongside the flagship smartphone, Huawei will also debut the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 5, the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 in Green, and the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 Rose Gold edition, scheduled for 12 March 2026.

Today, Huawei has officially marked the global return of its flagship Mate lineup at the “Now Is Your Run” product launch event in Madrid. Headlining the showcase was the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, alongside several new ecosystem products, including the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 5, HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 in a new Green colourway, and the HUAWEI Band 11 Series.

Besides the Mate X7 foldable phone, Huawei has officially launched its new flagship trio — the Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro and Mate 80 Pro Max — featuring upgraded Kirin processors, improved XMAGE imaging, LTPO OLED displays and larger batteries. Here’s a full breakdown of each model.

Nowadays, most flagship smartphones have a rear camera with high zoom capabilities. This is typically a telephoto camera or a periscope variant with higher optical zoom. For the Huawei Mate 80 Pro+, it could have two telephoto cameras.

When Huawei launched the Huawei Mate 30 Pro last month, they’ve included a ton of features as well as high-end tech specs in the device such as two 40MP image sensors, Kirin 990 chipset, 8GB of RAM and more. As for the video aspect, the smartphone is able to record up to 7680FPS Ultra Slow-motion which could bring any fast moving object to a crawl.

We’re literally a day away from the Huawei Mate 30 series launch! Huawei got ahead of themselves and posted 3 new teasers for the device, showing off the expected virtual haptic feedback volume control, air gestures and an apparently fast wireless charging.

Today, Huawei has finally unveiled the latest Mate 20 series along with other two products including the Huawei Watch GT and Band 3 Pro the but we'll cover these separately. Powered by the Kirin 980 chipset, a new Nano Memory card and more, the series includes the Huawei Mate 20, starting from €799 (4GB + 128GB, ~RM3837) and €849 (6GB + 128GB, ~RM4078), €1049 (~RM5038) for the Mate 20 Pro,  €899 (~RM4318) for the Mate 20X and the Porsche Design Mate 20 RS in two variants -  €1659 (8GB + 256GB, ~RM8141) and €2095 (8GB + 512GB, ~RM10062). All the phones except the Mate 20X (26 October 2018) are now available worldwide but we don't have a clear date for Malaysia's release. 

So the first wave of Apple XS series has just been released globally, in case you didn't know, it features the latest A12 Bionic processor that measures 7nm only. Apple is not the only one with the 7nm processor, as Huawei's new Kirin 980 processor has the same size and the company is actually quite confident that it's better than Apple's.

Upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 will come equipped with the new and improved HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset which features Dual-NPU which allows for greater AI processing capabilities. In terms of camera improvements with the chipset, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is capable of processing up to 4500 images for per second, 120% faster than industry average. But that’s not all as it supports multi-person motion prediction and object detection tracking in real time.

As an annual event for Huawei, there is bound to be a new Mate series every October and while we aren't surprised of this, Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu has confirmed with everyone that the Mate 20 series featuring the latest Kirin 980 is a-go in the upcoming October 2018.
