Huawei has unveiled the smart office of the future at a global launch in Bangkok today which showcases new innovations, connectivity and interaction which are designed to maximise creativity and offer easier and higher quality communication.
The new products include the Huawei MateBook X Pro laptop, MateBook 16 S laptop, MateBook D 16 laptop, the MatePad Pro 11 tablet, the MateView SE monitor, the FreeBuds Pro 2 earphones, the WiFi Mesh 3 and the Huawei Wireless Mouse.
We can expect them to land in Australia in the coming months.
Huawei has been working to build a smart office framework since 2018 based around two main capabilities – cross device collaboration and ecosystem integration.
In terms of spending on research and development, Huawei is second only to Google parent company Alphabet but ahead of Microsoft and Apple.
In fact, 22 per cent of the company’s revenue is re-directed back into R&D.
Huawei can also lay claim to filing more patents than any other tech company in the world.
Its latest products extend the drag-to-connect capabilities to even more devices which makes connecting and interacting on multiple devices even easier and faster.
The ecosystem Huawei has created with these new products so you can drag and drop content between them and extend and mirror displays.
“The Asia Pacific market has always been one of the most important regions for Huawei and we are always committed to offer the most innovative product to elevate your daily lives,” said Yu Chengdong (Richard Yu), CEO of Huawei’s Consumer BG.
