Huawei today unveiled its latest foldable phone called Pocket S. Besides, the Chinese have also released a new wearable device – Watch GT Cyber with case and replaceable straps and a new version of MateStation X with Intel 12th Gen chipset.
Huawei Watch GT Cyber
The smartwatch is unlike any other wearable we’ve seen. The circular chassis has a dial on the right side and is detachable from its case and strap, allowing for unprecedented customization.
It mainly relies on magnets to stay in place, but some mechanical parts lock together as well.
There are three Shell versions – Urban, Sports and Fashion. They all have a 1.32-inch circular AMOLED screen with a resolution of 466 x 466 and 352 pixels per inch, the first and third designs have a nano-crystal ceramic body and 316L brushed steel, while the sports model is made of composite fiber materials.
Weights 77g, 59g and 58g respectively, including both the watch and its strap.
The Huawei Watch GT Cyber is quite familiar on the inside – the well-known HarmonyOS-based user interface, more than 100 sports modes, and Huawei’s latest and greatest technology for sleep monitoring, SpO2 monitoring and heart rate measurements. It has its own GPS, supports NFC and connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth.
Huawei has equipped the watch with a coil for wireless charging on any Qi charger. It claims to last 4 days of heavy use, while more moderate users can get around 7 days on a single charge.
Huawei Watch GT for Cyber Sports, Fashion and Urban
The Sport variant comes in black or white shells and is priced at CNY 1,288. Going fashion (blue or white) or urban (morning yellow or volcanic black) will set you back CNY 1,488. The sale has already been made on the Huawei China website and major online retailers such as Vmall and JD.
Huawei MateStation X 2023
Huawei’s all-in-one PC is expected to appear in early 2022, followed by a global launch at MWC 2022 in Barcelona in late February. Its original version was powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor, but now it’s getting a new chip.
The new MateStation X gets an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, which is newer, faster and has more cores that provide better performance.
The screen is an IPS LCD touch screen with a diagonal of 28.2 inches and a resolution of 3840 x 2560 pixels. We have already reviewed the product and made sure that the monitor is great in terms of brightness and color accuracy.
The new Huawei MateStation X also features 16GB of RAM and a Huawei Computer Manager that enables seamless pairing with HarmonyOS and EMUI smartphones.
Unfortunately, the CPU change comes at a higher price – CNY 11,999 ($1,650 / €1665), compared to the previous model’s CNY 9,999 when talking about the 512GB storage versions. 1 TB equals 12,999 Chinese yuan (1,785 USD / 1805 EUR).
Sales have already started on major online retailers in China and Huawei’s own Vmall.
