For a couple of days, we have been seeing Huawei teasing some tech features online for the upcoming 2 June event. We know a smartwatch is coming, so as a new stylus pen that signals a MatePad but a fan may have just leaked the entire gadget roster online. Here's what we know so far.

With the start of a new year, you can bet that we'll be seeing a lot of new electronics and gadgets that are fancy and cool. Since we primarily cover mobile devices, the ones that we see most often are smartphones and there's no shortage of special edition devices every year.

Some have been good and others... not so good. In that case, what are the most memorable or coolest ones we've seen? So today, let's take a look at some of the coolest special edition smartphones launched recently.

It seems that the Huawei Mate 40 series may have been spotted on SIRIM, hinting that the smartphone could most likely be unveiled somewhere around December 2020. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, we can expect the smartphone to be priced much lower than 1199 Euros (~RM5880) on the European market.

While we are still waiting for news about if Huawei Malaysia plans to import the Mate 40 series, we just read some news that a metal casing is apparently not good for the phone at all. This was answered by Bruce Lee, Vice President of Huawei in regards to third-party cases since the official protective cases have sold out.

Based on a statement by techsina, there could be a possibility that there will be a Pokemon-themed Huawei Mate 40 series which features a PokeBall decal at the back along with the Pokemon logo. While there is information in regards to whether the case in the renders will be sold to be public or not, this gives us a rough idea on what to expect when the case is officially available for purchase.

After launching the Mate 40 series globally last week, HUAWEI has held another press conference today for a local launch in China. Other than revealing the price tags of the smartphones, HUAWEI's Executive Yu Chengdong has also mentioned that the company has some impressive technologies in hands and it's not the time for show yet. It is said that the Chinese tech giant currently has active 120W and 200W fast charging technology.

After the Huawei Mate 40 series got unveiled last week, there was no denying that the features are technically impressive. However, the global market is still concerned about its software as it lacks Google Mobile Service (GMS) and APK installation doesn't cut it for casual users. Thankfully, folks at XDA-developers came up with an unofficial GMS installer.

Other than the Huawei Mate 40 series that was just unveiled, Huawei also announced the Huawei Porsche Design Watch GT2 which is priced at 695 Euro (~RM3406) which comes with largely the same features as the original GT2, except for a more luxurious design. Not only that, but there’s also the Huawei FreeBuds Studio at 299 Euros (~RM1465), which is a pair headphones which is capable of achieving up to 24 hours of continuous playback on a single full charge.

Today, Huawei has unveiled the latest Mate 40 series and unsurprisingly, the phones are none other than the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro+. There's also a Porsche Design Mate 40 Pro RS edition, which you can read about it here (link in development) as usual but without beating around the bush too much, here's everything you need to know about the new Huawei flagships.

Huawei Malaysia has announced that you can catch the launch of the Huawei Mate 40 series on their Facebook page, which will take place on 22 October 2020 from 8 PM onwards. With that said, be sure to head over to their Facebook page and click on the “get reminder” button in order to be notified as soon as they’re streaming the launch.
