HUAWEI’s HarmonyOS are currently in the latest version 2 which has been rolled out to more than 70 million devices according to a report. The company is currently working on a new version and will be announced later this year at its annual developer conference 2021.

It was only a few days ago when Huawei Malaysia announced that their very first MateStation S PC is coming to Malaysia. The company silently updated the price tag on their official website which starts from an affordable RM2488 only in Space Gray. The sale will start from this Friday onwards (19 March 2021).

It seems that the Huawei MateStation S has recently been spotted on Huawei Malaysia’s official website, hinting that it will most likely be unveiled in the local market very soon. Unfortunately, the listing did not state the official price of the aforementioned product, so you might want to check back with us for more info in the near future.

Android N will have 3D touch (ala Apple) built into the operating system, giving OEMs more toys to play with for the benefits of the users.

While both the Huawei Mate S and Huawei G8 offer a similar design, both are significantly different. We take a look how differently both smartphones are designed in our comparison video below. You can also check out the complete tech specs comparison between the two using our Huawei Mate S vs Huawei G8 tech specs comparison tool.

We recently got some time with the beautiful looking Huawei Mate S so we did an unboxing and hands-on video. Featuring a premium metal build and super thin design at RM2698, the Mate S also features tech specs like a fingerprint sensor and 5.5-inch full HD display. A 13MP rear camera with optical image stabilization and 8MP front camera with LED flash rounds things up features-wise but Huawei have been generous enough to also include a free original flip case. You can see for yourself in the unboxing and hands-on videos in this article.

Great news to Huawei fans! As of 21 December, Huawei Technologies Malaysia have released the much anticipated Huawei Mate S Rose Gold edition for RM2698. It is available in all Huawei authorized retail outlets nationwide right now. 

“Christmas and year end festivities are the perfect time to enjoy the finer things in life, such as the Huawei Mate S. Designed for users who seek style, perfection and functionality in one device, we are happy to introduce the awaited Rose Gold variant of Huawei Mate S. With a design that turns heads and a gorgeous colour from head to toe - truly a novelty in the smartphone market - we think the device will be a perfect choice this holiday season – for yourself and for the special woman in your life!” said Danny Chin, Regional Marketing Director of Consumer Business Group for Huawei.

The Huawei Mate S was officially launched in Malaysia for RM2698 today and is available at all major distributors and resellers. While at first we felt like it was just another smartphone launch, you really have to take a closer look at the phone firsthand for the excitement to build. Featuring a gold and coral pink coloured metal body that is both curvy and light, we felt that the Mate S feels thinner and more premium than even the Huawei P8. The full tech specs and features for the Huawei Mate S include the following: 

• 64-bit 2.2GHz octa-core Hisilicon Kirin 935 processor
• 3GB RAM
• 64GB storage
• 5.5-inch AMOLED display (FHD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4)
• 13MP rear camera (OIS, RGBW, dual-tone flash) + 8MP front camera (soft light)
• supports 4G LTE, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, 
• 149.8 x 75.3 x 7.2mm | 156g
• Android 5.1 + EMUI 3.12700 mAh battery (quick charge)

The Huawei Mate S made a splash at the IFA 2015 as the world's first smartphone to implement a pressure sensitive Force Touch like feature alongside various other high-end functions as well. While we did say that it was expected in September, the invites have already been sent out confirming that the Huawei Mate S will be coming to Malaysia on 27 October 2015.

Huawei have finally and officially announced their Huawei Mate S smartphone featuring a 2.65 thin (at its thinnest point) all high-grade aluminum chassis with a fingerprint sensor and a force touch equipped 5.5-inch display with 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and FHD resolution. According to Huawei, they've included a Fingerprint Sense 2.0 with the fingerprint sensor for faster recognition speed and control in a single touch on top of the Knuckle Sense Technology 2.0 for screen capturing introduced earlier. Explaining the Force Touch for the Mate S, one example is if you press harder on an image it will zoom closer, along with tapping the corners to launch an app. The Force Touch sensor is even sensitive enough to be used as a weighing scale so you can place an object on the screen and get its weight. Other tech specs and features include the 13MP 4-colour RGBW rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization introduced with the Huawei P8 but this time it has a sapphire glass layer for the lens. An 8MP front camera with soft lighting rounds things up along with a more sensitive microphone and a nano coating for water resistance. Unlike the Huawei P8 there is quick charging for the Mate S as 10 minutes will give 2 hours worth of talk time. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but it is expected to come in September 2015 and is priced from 649 British Pounds (RM4197) but we expect this price to drop accordingly.
