Huawei Watch 5 and Watch Fit 4 unveiled in Berlin alongside new earbuds & tablet
The pioneering Chinese tech firm also announced a new fitness wearable, new earphones and a cutting-edge tablet to take on Apple iPad Pro just like last year's MatePad Pro which we tested and found had the best display tech on any tablet you can buy.
The new wearables join the company's Watch D2 which late last year became the world's first certified wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device.
Huawei's summer 2025 wearables follow the company's long standing tradition of being compatible with both iOS and Android devices and deliver at least week-long battery life and are among the most powerful health and fitness trackers you can buy. You can make or take phone calls on them and keep in touch with your smartphone notifications as much or as little as you like.
Here's everything you need to know about the four products Huawei launched for summer 2025…
The latest flagship Huawei wearable comes in two sizes, 42mm and 46mm, and eight colours including two new hues, purple and sand gold. The stylish smartwatch comes with aerospace-grade titanium, a premium stainless steel casing, spherical sapphire glass, with the promise of exceptional corrosion and wear resistance. Previous Huawei watches I tested have all been super durable.
Tech on board Watch 5 includes the firm's TruSense System which integrates a new multi-sensing set-up that enables users to perform health monitoring effortlessly with fingertip measurements that the company said results in more accurate and comprehensive health insights. Gesture controls on the wearable have been enhanced too.
Huawei's main fitness wearable Watch Fit 4 comes in two options, one covering essential needs, with a Pro model adding offline contour maps, checkpoint navigation and a professional trail running mode.
The series also introduces water sports tracking and a new air pressure sensor that the company said boosts outdoor sports data measurement accuracy.
The Pro model also introduces high-end materials such as sapphire glass and aviation-grade aluminium casings with titanium alloy bezels. Featuring an ultra-thin and comfortable build, the Watch Fit 4 Pro is just 9.3mm thin.
It supports advanced sports modes such as diving to a depth of up to 40 metres and pro-level golfing.
Like all Huawei wearables, the new devices ensure you suffer no daily recharging anxiety as they all come with incredible stamina. This means they are perfect for travel, long training sessions or weekend getaways.
The company's new open-fit earbuds Freebuds 6 are equipped with a dual-driver audio system, delivering strong, punchy bass, sweet trebles and support for high-resolution formats. Huawei said features like Stable and Clear Calls mean users will get fuss-free communication.
One of the biggest selling points of the new earphones is the sleek, ergonomic droplet design that the firm said is a perfect balance between comfort and style.
Hot on the heels of last year's incredible tablet is another 12.2in tablet boasting the supreme Tandem OLED PaperMatte Display to boost screen brightness while enhancing anti-glare and anti-reflection capabilities.
The included Huawei Glide Keyboard delivers a PC-standard typing and carrying experience, and comes with a handy charging compartment that can store the stylus.

‘The exact number of minutes needed for children to become TikTok addicts' & the hidden dangers posed by ‘filter bubble'
IT'S an attention economy and social media companies will do anything they can to keep your eyes on the screen. Now, US President 2 It takes around 35 minutes for a kid to get addicted to TikTok Credit: Getty Images - Getty 2 Olga Cronin wants Dail reps to back a motion to force social media companies to stop using algorithms on children Credit: PR Handout The app has been ordered to find a This is due to concerns that Americans' data could be passed on to the Chinese government. But where is the concern about what these We all know the horror stories of worrying content about eating disorders, violence or misogyny being pushed the way of our So, campaign group People Before Profit has tabled a Here, Olga Cronin, senior policy advisor at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, tells Irish Sun readers why she believes it is important for all JUST 35 minutes – that's all it allegedly takes for a child to become hooked on Not only that — should a child appear interested in an unhealthy type of content, TikTok's algorithm feeds the child similar unhealthy content in a 'filter bubble'. TikTok users are placed in filter bubbles after just 30 minutes of use in one sitting. These disturbing details were revealed in confidential company documentation disclosed and referenced in a US Trump says he has 'very wealthy people' to buy TikTok after pushing back app ban Why? Because an opportunity has arisen for Irish politicians to support a new bill which could help end this predatory nature of manipulative, harmful and profit-driven social-media algorithms which push content concerning self-loathing, self-harm and ALGORITHMIC PROFILING As the recent Online Safety Monitor from the Children's Rights Alliance called for regulations to require algorithmic profiling to be disabled by default for child and young users, a bill has been put forward by People Before Profit providing for the same. The bill also states that any algorithms based on profiling or sensitive personal data should have to be actively turned on by adult users. The aforementioned US court filing is crucial to understanding why we must demand that these algorithms are turned off by default. TikTok's The court document, from a case taken by the state of "While this may seem substantial, TikTok videos can be as short as eight seconds, and are played for viewers in rapid-fire succession, automatically. Thus, in under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform.' THREE STAGES The filing notes how in an internal presentation devoted to increasing user retention rates, TikTok identified three 'moments' when forming a TikTok habit. First there is the Set-up Moment when a young user watches their first video. Next is the Aha Moment when TikTok's algorithm has begun to discern what content a user will respond to, after a child has watched 20 videos or more on their first day on the platform. And finally, there is what they call the Habit Moment in which 'new users start to form a habit of coming to TikTok regularly' which occurs if a youth has watched 260 videos or more during the first week of having a TikTok account. TikTok is aware of negative impacts on its users. The court filing notes how internal reports observed 'compulsive usage correlates with a slew of negative mental health effects like loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual thinking, conver-sational depth and emp-athy, and increased anxiety' — and that 'compulsive usage interferes with essential personal responsibilities like sufficient sleep, work/ And yet, the lawsuit alleges TikTok has failed to disclose these harms and continues to mislead the public. The document outlines how the platform's design exploits psychological triggers that cause compulsive usage, such as low-friction variable rewards (where users are randomly rewarded with engaging content), social manipulation (where users are encouraged to interact and engage with the content), and ephemeral content (which creates urgency by presenting time-sensitive material). CYCLE OF ADDICTION These features make it difficult for users to control their time on the platform, creating a cycle of addiction. But this is not just about TikTok. All Big Tackling this problem is long overdue and, if 35 minutes is all it takes to addict a young child to TikTok, time is not on our side. Politicians of all hues should get on board with this bill and have these manipulation machines turned off.

A POPULAR gadget is being recalled over fears that five models could melt and spark blazes. Shoppers are urged to 2 2 These five models have been affected by the recall Credit: Anker Chinese electronics manufacturer Anker has urgently recalled five models of power banks. Owners of the products have been told to stop using the them 'immediately due to the risk of overheating, melting, smoke, or fire.' 'While the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to initiate a voluntary global recall of several Anker power bank models,' Anker said. Read more tech stories Earlier this year, Anker The company cited a "potential issue" with lithium ion batteries provided by a supplier. How To Check If You Have An Affected Power Bank The five products affected by the new recall are as follows: Anker Power Bank (model A1257 and A1647) Anker MagGo Power Bank (model A1652) Anker Zolo Power Bank (model A1681 and A1689) Most read in Tech You can identify the model you have by looking at the model number on the back or side of the device. If you have one of the affected devices, immediately stop using it and store it in a safe location. TSA Bans Power Banks in Checked Luggage: Key Changes for Travelers in 2025 Anyone affected by the recall can get a free replacement power bank, or a gift card to use on the Anker website. To claim either, simply fill out the How To Dispose Of Your Powerbank Once you have received confirmation that your power bank qualifies for a replacement, Anker shared that you must dispose of it at a facility that accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. "Do not discard this recalled lithium-ion battery in the trash or general recycling streams (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins)", Anker said. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item "These drop-off points are not equipped to handle recalled lithium-ion products like power banks." Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be handled differently from regular batteries because they pose a higher fire risk. You can usually take lithium-ion batteries to recycling centres, which have facilities for disposing of electronic waste. Some large supermarkets also have collection points for lithium-ion batteries and other electricals. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact support@ Please include 'Anker 321 Power Bank Recall' in the subject line The company also offers telephone support.

Trump claims TikTok buyer group found, but China approval needed
US president Donald Trump said he has identified a buyer for the US operations of TikTok, the social media app owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd, without naming the winning bidder. Completing a sale would be contingent on Beijing and Chinese president Xi Jinping's agreement, Mr Trump added in a pre-taped interview on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. ByteDance and the Chinese government have long opposed such a deal. Mr Trump said: 'We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way. I think I'll need, probably, China approval, and I think President Xi will probably do it. It's a group of very wealthy people US and Chinese officials affirmed at the end of last week that they have agreed a trade framework, moving toward settling trade hostilities, following talks in London earlier in June. ByteDance's US future has hung in the balance for years, starting with the first Trump administration putting pressure on the Beijing company to sell the asset to an American entity. Further deadline pushback A January deadline for ByteDance to find a local buyer was pushed back twice by Mr Trump, who this month extended it again by a further 90 days from June 19. The US congress passed a law last year requiring the divestiture, citing national security concerns. Under the law, the US president was allowed to invoke one extension. However, Mr Trump has mused that TikTok in the US could be worth as much as $1tn (€852bn) and has repeatedly shown a willingness to broker a deal. Movement on a sale had largely stalled as US-China trade ties frayed due to a larger clash over tariff negotiations. Before Mr Trump announced tariffs in April, a deal was said to be close, advanced by a consortium of US investors that includes Oracle Corp, Blackstone Inc, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
