Huawei Brings World's First Commercial Triple Foldable Phone to MWC 2025
This year's Mobile World Congress (MWC 2025) kicked off on March 3 in Barcelona, Spain. At the event, Huawei is showcasing its unique tri-fold phone, HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, as well as various other high-end, fashion-forward, and technology-driven flagship products. Attendees can visit dedicated experience zones for foldables, health & fitness, photography, and tools for creative work, and see how Huawei is applying the latest technologies to daily life.
Many have been particularly excited to see the Mate XT, the world's first commercial tri-fold smartphone. It features proprietary hinge and screen technologies that have allowed Huawei to build a phone where the screen folds inward on one hinge and outward on another. It's also equipped with a camera with a 10-size adjustable physical aperture. In the Huawei Consumer BG booth, a large screen utilizing naked-eye 3D effects further showcases the merits of this unique tri-fold phone. Also on display at the Consumer BG booth are the HUAWEI Mate 70 series phones, which boast an Ultra Chroma Camera that delivers unprecedented colour accuracy. The Intelligence Scenario experience zone allows attendees to get their hands on features including Multi exposure and AI retouch. The Mate X6 area takes a novel approach by showcasing some of the innovative materials that go into the phone. Attendees are invited to cut ice with a sheet of graphene, to experience for themselves the amazing thermal conductivity of the material.
To showcase its extensive range of wearables, Huawei is simulating real-life sports and health scenarios. In the cycling experience area, participants can experience the fast and accurate vital sign monitoring capabilities of the HUAWEI TruSense System by comparing real-time heart rate data from professional sports heart rate monitors with that captured by a HUAWEI WATCH GT 5. In the Health Glance zone, visitors can see a demonstration of the multiple health indicators measured by the HUAWEI WATCH D2, the first smart wearable to be medically certified as a wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitor. Huawei also brought a lineup of smart wearables that offer a premium on-wrist experience with exceptional design and smart features. In recent years, smart wearables have been a powerful engine of growth for Huawei's consumer business. Huawei's accumulated wearable shipments for the first three quarters of 2024 put it ahead of all competitors in the wearable space. Last August, Huawei announced the HUAWEI TruSense System, which monitors health & fitness data and analyzes the user's health status. The system is a thorough revamp of the company's previous health metrics system, and was on full display in Barcelona.
The GoPaint experience zone has been attracting crowds with an exhibition of works created by artists from around the world using the HUAWEI MatePad's exclusive GoPaint software, which is powered by a professional brush engine and FangTian Painting Engine 2.0. Huawei has its sights set on both professional and aspiring creatives with this year's MatePad Pro 13.2" OLED PaperMatte Display. PaperMatte Display is a proprietary standard for tablet displays that delivers vibrant colours while minimising glare and gives users a pen-on-paper writing and drawing experience. HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd generation) is intended for use with the MatePad Pro 13.2". With its 10,000-level pressure sensitivity, the M-Pencil lets users make the most of GoPaint's many and varied virtual brushes. HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch also features PC-level WPS Office and a familiar laptop interface, so that users can enjoy flexible window zooming and keyboard-and-mouse-based interactions, as well as efficient multi-tasking, thanks to the Live-Multitask feature.

It stacks high and low frequency dual-magnetic high-sensitivity driver units in a small space. The acoustic system is designed to work independently for a pure, distortion-free sound quality. Bolstering the low-end frequencies is a dedicated booming bass system powered by an 11mm dual-magnetic driver unit augmented by the new Bass Turbo 2.0 technology. The UHF planar diaphragm driver has a wider high-frequency range and can reach 48 kHz. Each unit operates in tandem, each focusing on its optimal frequency band to deliver a cohesive and high-definition acoustic music, Huawei has placed a strong emphasis on call quality, especially in challenging environments. The FreeBuds 6 introduce a Voice Pick-up Unit bone conduction microphone. This works to deliver highly accurate voice recognition, isolating your speech even amidst a cacophony.

Resilient Digital Infrastructure Essential to Tackle AI-Driven Risks, Say Leading Cybersecurity Experts at GISEC Global
As AI-powered cyber threats escalate, the CISO Circle at GISEC Global 2025 emerged as the defining forum for cybersecurity leadership, convening over 200 global and regional Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to architect the next era of cyber resilience at the Dubai World Trade in 2021, the CISO Circle – powered by Huawei – this year solidified its role as the nexus for actionable strategies, uniting public and private sectors to combat evolving risks.H.E. Dr Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council, highlighted that with technology advancing, cybersecurity measures must always be at the top of the list for said: 'Technology is here to stay. We're not going to deny or resist the wave of advancements we're seeing – whether it's quantum computing, the widespread adoption of cloud services, or the growing impact of AI. Cybersecurity, in particular, is now an essential part of every technological solution. That's why integrating cybersecurity into every layer of innovation is not optional – it's necessary.'Faisal Abdulaziz, Director of the Cybersecurity Threat Center of Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), said if the industry wants to stay ahead of cyber criminals, a collective effort is fundamental and a series of strategic frameworks and regulations need to be put in place to enhance said: 'We must embrace collaboration. Cybersecurity is not a solo effort – it's a collective journey that must include the private sector, the public sector and international partners as we all share responsibility.'We must go beyond just embracing innovation.
