A TECH giant is expanding its lifestyle ecosystem with the launch of a device that marries high-fashion aesthetics with cutting-edge utility.
Speaking at the Huawei Mate X7 launch at a shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur, Huawei Malaysia product specialist Pang Jia Hao emphasised that the brand’s roadmap was driven by more than just technical specifications.
“We focused our innovation on creating products that bring joy,” he said.
“We listen intently to user feedback to understand the real experiences they have with our products.
“This encourages and empowers us to innovate further and faster.”
The Mate X7 represented the culmination of years of refinement, he added.
“Huawei’s foldable series has been leading the industry since 2019, constantly redefining what a smartphone can be.
“We are proud to announce the latest generation of foldables, the new Huawei Mate X7.”
The device’s centrepiece is the X-True dual display system.
In its folded state, users interact with a 6.49-inch outer screen that provides the tactile comfort of a traditional flagship smartphone.
Unfolding the device reveals an expansive 8-inch inner canvas, turning a phone into a high-performance workstation or immersive cinema.

The device is powered by a 5,600mAh battery supporting 66W wired SuperCharge.
“With each new generation, we strive to achieve meaningful advances that make it possible for users to do more with their lives,” Pang added.
