Chinese electronics giant Huawei and the world’s third-biggest smartphone manufacturer say that the Middle East market remains their stronghold as it witnesses exponential growth in the smartphone segment.
At the same time Sandeep Saihgal, Middle East Vice president of Huawei Consumer Business Group said that the company continues to break new ground in the wearables space, especially with the unveiling of the Huawei Watch, powered by Android Wear(tm) and IOS.
On Wednesday evening, Huawei unveiled the flagship Power of Touch “Mate S” Smartphone and the Huawei Watch W1 at the regional launch in Dubai.
Last year alone, Huawei targeted global smartphone shipments of 60 million units and expect this number to increase further.
“The Middle East is a very strategic market for our business. We strive to grow and offer our customers products that impact and enrich their lives. In designing the Huawei Mate S, we wanted to develop a smartphone that offers a personalised experience with the power of touch; we once again took a revolutionary approach and reimagined how people interact with their devices, adding innovative features that enhance ease of use, functionality and creativity,” said Sandeep.
With the launch of the Huawei Watch, we have created a bespoke timepiece that expresses consumers varied preferences in technology, fashion and lifestyles, whilst maintaining technological innovation, added Sandeep.
Touch is a core of the Huawei Mate S, creating a new experience for users that enhances their interaction with the device. When viewing photos, they can be quickly previewed and enlarged by pressing the screen with one finger, streamlining the operations of a traditional phone.
