The Fit 4 Pro even brings in new gesture support and the Huawei TruSense System for more accurate health and fitness tracking. And for the first time in the Fit series, you've got ECG measurement baked in, giving you real-time heart health info whenever you need it. These upgrades are clearly aimed at users who want more than just step counts and basic heart rate.
For the first time the Fit series offers ECG with the Fit 4 Pro model. | Image credit – Huawei Battery life is promising too – up to 10 days of use depending on the model, with quick charging: 75 minutes for the Fit 4 and just 60 minutes for the Fit 4 Pro. And both watches support things like quick replies, voice notes, remote shutter, weather updates, and work with both iOS and Android phones. That means even iPhone users can get in on the action without losing key features.Speaking of design, Huawei went all-in with premium materials this time. The Fit 4 Pro sports a sapphire glass display, titanium alloy bezel and aviation-grade aluminum body – all wrapped up in a 9.3mm thin profile that weighs only 30.4 grams. The regular Fit 4 is just as sleek at 9.5mm thick and 27 grams.Both bring a rotating crown for smoother control and a vibrant display that hits up to 3000 nits brightness – perfect for outdoor viewing.
Color options? Plenty. The Fit 4 comes in:
Green
Purple
White
Black
Grey
This is the Fit 4 in the 5 colors listed above. | Image credit – Huawei The Fit 4 Pro keeps it tight with:
The Pro model comes in only three colors – Blue, Black and Green. | Image credit – Huawei Pricing starts at £149.99 (around $199 when directly converted) for the regular Fit 4 and £249.99 (about $330 when directly converted) for the Pro model – both available now on the official Huawei store. As for US availability, there is no official word yet, but based on previous launches, they are expected to show up on Amazon. And the price in the US could be a bit lower, but to be sure, stay tuned for updates!Now, if Huawei isn't really your thing but you are still on the lookout for a new smartwatch focused on health and fitness tracking, Google's Fitbit lineup might be a good fit.
The Charge 6 comes packed with a strong set of health sensors and sports tracking features that easily rival what Huawei offers. It also comes in at a similar price, making it a solid alternative – especially if you prefer something more widely supported in the US with easy access to Google services and apps right out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, Fold 7, and tri-fold availability leaked
Samsung is going to unveil its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable smartphones next month, alongside a possible Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Availability for these phones will start shortly after, though the tri-foldable — possibly named Galaxy G Fold — will be available for purchase a little later in the year. Leaked Galaxy Z Fold 7 render. | Image credit — Evan Blass According to a report ( translated source ), the Flip 7 and Fold 7 will become available to the general public in August, approximately one month after their announcement. Samsung will be holding a Galaxy Unpacked event in New York City on July 9, where these phones will be shown off. The Flip 7 FE, though not directly named in the leak, will most likely also become available in August after being announced in July. Samsung has promised its most advanced foldable yet, and from leaks we can see that the Fold 7 makes the Fold 6 look ancient. Samsung's tri-fold will directly challenge the Huawei Mate XT. | Video credit — Huawei The tri-fold, which will see a very limited release in a select few markets, will also be unveiled in July, alongside the Flip 7 and Fold 7 . However, though there isn't a confirmed date just yet, the report estimates that this phone will become available in tracks with Samsung's plans to launch it this year shortly after its other foldables, before moving on to a wider launch around the globe if it sells well. The G Fold will only see around 200,000 units manufactured for now, as Samsung has very subdued sales expectations due to the cost. According to the multiple reports we've seen till now, the Fold 7 is shaping up to be a massive leap over its predecessor. The only aspect I can complain about is the battery, which is expected to be the same 4,400 mAh as the Fold 6. It will also only charge at 25W when wired, another somewhat disappointing remnant that desperately needs an upgrade. However, seeing rival offerings like the Oppo Find N5 and the Honor Magic V5, I think it's about time Samsung caught up. Coupled with the long-term software support ( seven years ) and people's preference for One UI, Samsung could be looking at a winner here. The Fold 7 may even reverse the foldable industry's decline, though that may just be wishful thinking. If you were looking for the most advanced foldable on the market, you'd probably still do well with the aforementioned Find N5 and Magic V5. But if software support is important to you, the Fold 7 or the G Fold are your best bet. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Can Samsung come on top of Huawei with the Galaxy G Fold tri-fold?
Huawei, baby. – You, outraged at my shenanigans. True that: I really do find the Oppo Find N5 – the virtual successor to the OG masterpiece OnePlus Open (OnePlus and Oppo are joined at the hip, their devices share components more often than not) – to be an amazing piece of technology. People are astonished by its 4.2mm thin (when unfolded) chassis, but I don't care that much about super thin phones. The Oppo Find N5. | Image by PhoneArena Instead, I'm fascinated by the Find N5's extreme toughness and fierce elegance, its potent chipset (inside, there's the top-shelf Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon), its 5,600 mAh battery (hey, that's more than what my non-folding flagship's cell offers) and its overall performance: reliable, premium, incredibly cool. But, at the end of the day, I don't need it. Did you see that? Did you see what I just did? I praised a phone, I explained how thrilled I'm with its specs, I almost said how it's second to none in my heart. And yet, I said: no, thank you, I will not buy you. I'm a stable person who makes the correct financial decision. The ability to refrain yourself from buying things just because you happen to like them very much is great, and I do recommend meditating on it. As I said, because they have what nobody else has: the Huawei Pura X. That's a foldable, but unlike anything else you've seen: Image by PhoneArena See?That's a flip-style phone that opens sideways to a 16:10 aspect ratio, 6.3-inch display. So clever. So you accuse me of not getting the Huawei Pura X right – and you'll be right, up to a point – let me assure you: I'm aware of the Pura X's shortcomings. That's not a standard phone, software-focused speaking. It comes on Huawei's own Harmony Next OS, so it doesn't support Android and iOS apps that people outside of China generally use. The phone itself will probably never be released outside its home country. Why, then, do I see it as a better option for me and my needs compared to the Oppo Find N5, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, or Motorola's cool Razr models? It's because of that 16:10 aspect ratio and the clamshell form factor. Being a flip phone, the Pura X offers me far better pocketability, while providing a large – both tall and wide – inner display.I like large displays: say, you've just come back from an exotic trip and you want to show some pictures and videos to your friends. A regular non-folding phone – even if it's a 6.8-inch beast – just doesn't cut it. Being a slab, candy bar-like device, the non-folding phone comes with a far narrower display and those wonderful photos you've captured just can't be seen that well on such a small a laptop or a tablet is out of the question, as I hate backpacks, bags, purses – I have pockets, thank you very much. Enter the Huawei Pura X.I don't intend on using it as anything more than a cool, large, foldable extra display to watch (and edit – why not?) photos and videos. An extra phone that doesn't take extra space in my pockets. – You, outraged at me once again. Hey, that's your money, remember? Joking aside, book style foldables are a great option as well, but they do take much more space (when folded) than a clamshell one. That's precisely why I won't be getting a book style foldable any time soon. Plus, they're twice (or more) as expensive, so… far, no foldable can come close to the camera power of dedicated camera-centric flagships like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra or the Oppo Find X8 Ultra. And since I value cameras above all in a smartphone, that kind of explains why I'm not getting the Pura X or the Oppo Find N5 (expensive or not) for a daily as great as the Pura X is, I can't deny that Samsung could very well make Huawei sweat in some months time precisely on the foldable a point in the future, many of us will rock tri-foldables like this one: Image by PhoneArena So far, this is the only commercially available tri-fold on the market, the Huawei Mate XT. It's a fascinating device that has its share of shortcomings, but its debut is now written in history. Apple and Samsung are also reportedly developing tri-folds of their own. Recently, I argued that while Samsung's tri-fold seems flawed, at least it's innovation (even if it's a Huawei comeback). Now, it seems that Samsung is on the right track and could very well produce a tri-fold of its own that could enchant many. The latest report hints at such a possibility: Samsung Galaxy tri-foldable's RAM and processor leak Samsung's upcoming Galaxy G Fold is shaping up to be one of the company's most ambitious and impressive smartphones to date. As a tri-foldable device, it could represent a major leap forward in design and engineering – yeah, it should come months after Huawei's revolutionary Mate XT, but it's still should set the Galaxy G Fold apart is its powerful hardware. Unlike the Galaxy S25 series, which continues to ship with 12 GB of RAM, the G Fold is expected to come with 16 GB of RAM as standard. It's said to run exclusively on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and this piece of silicon is a beast on its own. Much better than the Kirin chipset in the Mate XT. While the G Fold's innovative design and premium specs (judging from rumors right now) mark it as a standout device, it's not without trade-offs. Battery capacity and charging speeds could remain a weak point, echoing the same limitations seen in Samsung's other foldables. The phone may feature a 4,400 mAh battery – relatively small given its size – and will likely charge slowly compared to other flagship phones. Image by PhoneArena I really hope this 4,400 mAh rumor doesn't hold true, because it would be a shame, so to say. Come on, Samsung, 5,000 mAh is not that hard of a task! The original Mate XT packs a 5,600 mAh cell, albeit with an inferior Kirin chipset that's not as power-efficient as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. But, in the end, the reality is that the majority of people (outside of China) will probably go with the Samsung tri-fold – even if it has a 4,400 mAh. The well-known Galaxy and One UI ecosystem, the unlimited access to the whole plethora of Google services (yeah, the Mate XT doesn't fully support those), and the peace of mind that you're getting a Samsung (some people are actually afraid of getting "exotic" brands"): these are major selling points. The upcoming One UI 8 is designed precisely with foldables in mind – system animations and screen elements should look amazing on all Galaxy almost sees like a clear win for the upcoming Galaxy G Fold (minus the battery). Unless the upcoming Huawei Mate XT 2 turns out to be a beast out of this world. The plot thickens, ladies and gentlemen.

Huawei Pura 80 series' global launch date revealed
Huawei's Pura 80 series smartphones, which were unveiled a couple of weeks ago, have been exclusive to China. But that will change next month when Huawei introduces the Pura 80 lineup to the international markets. Huawei is hosting an event in Dubai on July 10 for the global debut of the Pura 80 series, which consists of the Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, Pura 80 Pro+, and Pura 80 Ultra. Huawei hasn't explicitly mentioned whether it will launch all four models globally, but we know the Pura 80 Ultra will make its international debut, as that's the phone Huawei is using to advertise its July 10 event. Moreover, it's worth noting that Huawei is advertising this launch on some of its local websites in Latin America, Africa, and Asia but not in the European Union, suggesting the Chinese brand has no plans to bring the Pura 80 series to the EU, at least not on July 10. Huawei Pura 80 • Huawei Pura 80 Pro • Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ • Huawei Pura 80 Ultra Circling back to the Pura 80 Ultra, this Kirin 9020-powered smartphone is the top-end model of the lineup, featuring switchable telephoto lenses and a 50MP primary camera with a 1-inch type sensor. You can read our Huawei Pura 80 Ultra announcement coverage here to know more about it, and head this way if you are interested in the other three Pura 80 series smartphones. Source 1, Source 2
