Huawei's latest sports-focused smartwatch just got a special edition discount — what you need to know
Huawei has just revealed the latest devices in its wearable line-up and has followed up the news with a limited time offer running on its own store.
Right now, anyone wanting to pick up the newly-announced Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro can get an exclusive edition from the Huawei store with a £30 off coupon and two extra free straps.
The first strap is the brand's Silver Nylon option but the second can be a customizable strap of your choice, letting you personalise the device to your liking.
Huawei's Watch Fit 4 Pro is a lightweight and versatile smartwatch designed for active lifestyles. The sapphire glass display and aerospace-grade aluminium alloy body add up to a durable smartwatch that's only 9.3mm thin and weighing only 30.4g. It offers a range of pro sports tracking modes including golf and diving. There's a 10 day battery life and advanced health metrics like ECG readings, heart rate monitoring and SpO2 blood oxygen.
Huawei's Fit 4 Pro is the more premium option of the company's Fit 4 smartwatches and offers a thinner and lighter design crafted from sapphire glass, and aviation-grade aluminium body.
The case is just 9.3mm thin weighing 30.4 grams, with that same 1.82-inch AMOLED display as the regular variant. However, while the regular Watch Fit 4 has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, the Pro model ups that to 3,000 for an even better screen experience in broad daylight.
Huawei has added a tonne of pro-level sports features including Golf Mode that has access to over 15,000 courses around the world. And anyone that hooks a wayward drive into a water hazard can rest assured; the 40 meters of waterproofing as part of its Diving Mode will come in handy if you fancy trying to retrieve the ball. There's also Trail Running Mode will offline contour maps. Throughout all, the company's TruSense System will deliver vital monitoring like ECG, heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
You can easily swap in different straps to suit — whether going to the gym, spending a day at the office or turning in for the night — and Huawei claims it has some of the most abundant strap options in the industry. Which is useful if you want to take this deal up and customise one of your own.

Huawei Patents Solid-State Battery That Would Let You Road Trip From Miami To Maine On A Single Charge
Toyota is currently working on solid-state batteries it says will allow it to build 900-mile EVs, but while many would call that overkill, dads across the country know it isn't enough. We need more range if EVs are ever going to be good enough for a proper road trip, and if Huawei can deliver on its latest solid-state battery patent, we may almost be there. That's because it offers more than 1,800 miles of range on a single charge, CarNewsChina reports. For context, that's enough range to drive from Miami, Florida, to Bangor, Maine, without stopping. That said, China's range estimates are even more generous than Europe's, which means you may only get 1,200 or 1,300 miles out of a battery like that in the United States. Pitiful, I know. At that point, there's basically no reason to even bring your external catheter on a road trip. Not that the U.S. would allow Chinese battery tech to be sold here in the first place or invest in catching up. Our EV tech will stay generations behind China's, and we will like it. From the sound of it, the real value in this patent is the battery's energy density: The patent outlines a solid-state battery architecture with energy densities between 400 and 500 Wh/kg, potentially two to three times that of conventional lithium-ion cells. The filing also details a novel approach to improving electrochemical stability: doping sulfide electrolytes with nitrogen to address side reactions at the lithium interface, a long-standing obstacle to the commercialisation of sulfide-based batteries. Huawei's design aims to boost safety and cycle life by mitigating degradation at this critical junction. Read more: These Supercars Lose Value So Quickly, They're Almost A Steal Allegedly, given a big enough charger, Huawei says it could charge the battery in about five minutes, too. That would require an absolutely absurd amount of power, but it isn't like companies in China aren't working on that, too. BYD has already shown off a Megawatt charger that's capable of adding 250 miles of range in about five minutes. Early versions would also likely cost a small fortune, though, and it's also hard to see how practical Megawatt charging would be in the remote areas where people might actually use it. But while BYD does actually plan to build at least some of those Megawatt chargers, don't be surprised if Huawei's 1,800-mile solid-state battery ends up being more of a tech demonstration than anything else. Instead, it seems much more likely that the batteries that will ultimately make their way into production cars will be smaller and therefore lighter. A battery that's a third the size of the 1,800-mile battery would still offer more than enough range for a road trip while also drastically reducing weight. Considering how heavy EV batteries are — the battery in the Hummer EV weighs nearly 3,000 pounds — if there's one thing EVs need, it's less weight. So while Huawei's 1,800-mile battery is still theoretical for now, it's still cool to see battery tech advancing to the point where, in a few years, we may see long-range EVs that weigh about the same as gas-powered cars. At least in other countries outside the U.S., since Republicans have decided they'd rather just turn us into a technological backwater. Want more like this?

The city also has the presence of leading data center providers such as Vantage Data Centers, NTT DATA, Equinix, Open Access Data Centres (OADC), Teraco (Digital Realty), MTN, and Vodacom Business. Industrial land prices in South Africa have been growing over the recent years, especially in prime locations, owing to the robust demand and comparatively lesser supply. The average industrial land price in Cape Town varies from $120-$140 per square meter, while the average rental rate ranges around $4 per square meter. Durban and Centurion are also expected to see an increase in data center area in the year 2025. Sustainability has emerged as a key trend in expanding data centers across the South African data center market in 2024, driven by global environmental imperatives and local regulatory pressures. Leading players such as Microsoft, AWS, and Google are raising the bar with their sustainability targets, prompting others to follow suit to remain competitive. The South African government has been incentivizing data centers to implement additional alternative energy resources, to reduce dependence on the national power grids and prevent operational disruptions. South Africa also faces challenges in its energy sector, which include power outages and load shedding due to insufficient generation capacity. The nation's power is heavily dependent on coal-fired plants in the energy grid. More than one-third of the nation's 42,000 MW of electricity is generated by coal-fired power stations. SOUTH AFRICA DATA CENTER MARKET VENDOR LANDSCAPE The South Africa data center market has the presence of several colocation data center investors, such as Africa Data Centres, Digital Parks Africa, Equinix, NTT DATA, Open Access Data Centres (OADC), Teraco (Digital Realty), Vantage Data Centers, and others.
