What If Your Tablet Could Work Like a PC? Huawei Might Soon Make It Happen
Huawei seems to be betting on a future where tablets could actually replace laptops. The upcoming HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2" is shaping up to be their most compelling argument yet. Forget the cutesy, scaled-up phone experience. This one is a step towards a new kind of mobile computing. Early details regarding the MatePad Pro 13.2" paint a picture of a device designed from the ground up to challenge the laptop hegemony.
As the name suggests, it will sport a large 13.2-inch screen, which is arguably the best in the tablet industry. This typically laptop-sized screen is arguably better because it will feature Huawei's glare and reflection free PaperMatte Display. Despite the huge screen, the tablet will be incredibly thin and lightweight, thanks to flexible OLED technology.
But Huawei isn't just slapping a bigger screen on a tablet. They are offering a laptop-like ecosystem with a full PC-level WPS Office Suite, which comes at no extra cost. The PC-level WPS is loaded with features similar to the PC version of WPS. Spreadsheets, presentations, and formulas offer a nearly identical experience to their desktop counterparts. You can edit your workbooks, work on your slides, and whatnot, just like on a PC.
The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2' is asking a serious question. What if your tablet could be your only computer? What if you could leave the laptop at home and still be fully productive and creative? This could be the year the tablet finally grows up and steps out of the laptop's shadow. And that, my friends, is a future worth getting excited about.

Cracking the code of perfect-sounding earbuds with planar drivers and AI
Perfect sound is about reproducing sounds as authentically as it was recorded. You should hear every tiny crackle, hiss, and boom as close to the original with depth and spatial separation. For earbuds, the challenge has always been about overcoming the limitation of size. Reproducing the entire audible frequency range with fidelity and subject separation with a just tiny pair of speakers that fit in the ears has been an ongoing engineering good sound is hard?There is so much that goes into designing and tuning earbuds. The size restricts the size restricts the maximum size of the driver to around 11mm. But more than that, the fundamental problem lies in physics. A driver that's designed to sound perfect at bass frequencies can be terrible at higher frequencies. So most earbuds go for a balanced tuning that sounds acceptable throughout the entire frequency range, making compromises along the the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 has done to overcome this problem is to use a sophisticated dual-driver acoustic design with two independent drivers that work in tandem to achieve optimal frequency response for giving the user the best listening experience. Equipped with Huawei's proprietary audio technology, the FreeBuds 6 adopts two different drivers. The bass frequencies are handled by an 11mm dual magnetic driver bolstered by the Bass Turbo 2.0 acoustic architecture. Additionally, the earbuds also add a UHF Planar Diaphragm Driver which handles higher frequencies of up to 48kHz. The result is a premium listening experience with stunning highs, rich mids, and deep, immersive Sound with AI The open-fit design of the FreeBuds 6 requires more than just hardware. The way a person experiences the sound varies based on the ear canal shape, wearing habits, and listening preferences. Recreating the perfect acoustic experience despite these factors demands even more personalisation of everyone's ear canal is different, it affects how each person perceives sound. The headphone has to measure and analyse frequency response characteristics to compensate for the ear canal shape. How the person wears the earbuds has to be accounted for. The FreeBuds 6 also senses the loudness difference of sounds of different frequencies, performs appropriate gain enhancement, and automatically adjusts EQ. For example, when the volume is low, the human ear has a weaker perception of low and high another factor that changes the listening experience given the open-fit design is the ambient noise. Thankfully, the earphones can automatically monitor the level of the ambient noise, the volume of the noise in the ear, and whether the noise reduction function of the earphones is turned on within the noise range of 0-85dB. In response, the AI adaptively adjusts the volume, so that the listener can hear clearly without interruptions for a comfortable and clear listening experience. At the centre of its premium audio experience is Huawei's very own audio technology HUAWEI SOUND, boasting a tech-enhanced listening with state-of-the-art acoustics. It delivers exceptional sound quality that envelops you in a dynamic auditory experience. The FreeBuds 6 combines this advanced sound technology with a comfort-focused, stylish design, setting a new standard for fashionable, high-performance audio.

At the Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) Top Talk Summit held during MWC Shanghai 2025, 150 guests, including top-tier executives from leading telecommunications firms, AI innovators, and academic pioneers, gathered to explore the huge opportunities emerging from the deep convergence of ICT and AI Wang, Huawei's Executive Director of the Board, opened the event by saying, "The rapid adoption of mobile AI is bringing new vitality to the mobile industry in three brand-new ways. First, mobile devices are no longer just about apps, as they begin to host AI agents that will improve every aspect of our life and work. Second, AI's deep convergence with IoT is making AI-IoT a new portal to the intelligent world. Third, AI is now powering networks. Previously, we mainly focused on O&M efficiency when it came to network management. But today, AI is allowing us to maximize spectrum, energy, and O&M efficiency at the same time."He went on to call on the entire industry to pursue shared success in the mobile AI era by unlocking the potential of 5G-Advanced (5G-A). To this end, Huawei and other industry stakeholders are already working together on five areas that can act as levers to drive 5G-A growth, including large uplink bandwidth, rich device ecosystems, multimodal intelligent services, all-scenario IoT capabilities, and diverse business Tech Symbiosis: Redefining Omni-Scenario InnovationThe deepening convergence of 5G-A and AI is profoundly transforming manufacturing sectors, 5G-A's low latency and high bandwidth are critical enablers for high-precision sensing and decision-making based on embodied AI.

For instance, smart logistics based on 5G-A and AI-empowered-devices stands for more efficient route planning, which translates into greater distribution timeliness and lower 5G-A must evolve beyond its conventional role as a connectivity pipe to function as an experience platform capable of supporting real-time interaction among billions of active mobile AI agents. 5G-A advancement transcends mere technological improvements, requiring fundamental reinvention of network infrastructure and operational a commercial perspective, premium experiences are driving 5G-A monetization. 5G-A's ability to deliver flawless experiences for low-latency and high-bandwidth applications (like cloud gaming and multi-view immersive sports streaming) is also creating more user-friendly payment patterns. This experience-first approach is establishing business growth opportunities as consumers demonstrate increased willingness to pay for quality-of-service Peng, Huawei's Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Service, wrapped up the event with closing remarks. "5G-A will deliver much stronger capabilities", said Li. "It will equip carriers to provide a guaranteed network experience across multiple factors. 5G-A will spur innovative new business models, and help carriers expand beyond traffic to begin monetizing experience itself."Li went on to explain how carriers are using AI agents to help drive AI adoption while delivering a targeted, guaranteed experience for a wide range of users, including individuals, homes, and industries – as well as people on the go. "This transformation will help carriers truly elevate their brand, create new value, and better monetize experience. To get there, we need to develop new AI-centric network construction standards to guide the ongoing evolution of infrastructure. This will be crucial for developing wide-area lossless 5G-A networks that support deterministic access, elastic scheduling, and on-demand, reliable connections between the cloud, edge, and devices."Li Peng closing the MBBF Top Talk Summit ShanghaiMWC Shanghai 2025 took place from June 18 to June 20 in Shanghai, China.
