Huawei Consumer Business Group introduced new features to existing Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) products that users can enjoy in the new flagship foldable device, HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, launched in the region on July 27th. Consumers can now embark on an elevated all-scenario product experience via AppGallery, Petal Maps, Petal Search, Browser and Petal One. This move aligns with Huawei’s commitment to harnessing technology and building a fully connected, intelligent world.
Searching and Entertainment
Through HUAWEI Mate Xs 2, users can explore the latest apps on AppGallery, a top three application marketplace, with over 203,000 global and local apps integrated with HMS Core, such as PUBG Mobile, Dubai Islamic Bank, Instapay, Bank Albilad, beIN, Awaan, ADtv, OLX, Lulu Shopping, Mr D Food - delivery & takeout, Takealot, ADJD Auctions, and ServiceMyCar, which were onboarded by AppGallery in the past six months. Additionally, all of the carrier apps have launched on AppGallery in UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa.
Consumers can use the 7.8-inches True-Chroma Foldable Display device to leisurely browse, shop, explore apps and stay updated with the news through Petal Search. With Petal Search now optimised for foldable screens, the Parallel Search function allows users to multitask on larger screens smoothly, which can help improve efficiency even during leisure browsing. Moreover, with the new Smart Multi-Window mode, consumers can view different parts of the search on each screen which enhances multitasking capabilities for a highly efficient interaction experience.
Furthermore, HUAWEI Browser will provide users with an advanced, efficient, and sophisticated foldable web browsing experience for an enhanced browsing journey using the ultra-flat durable device. The search engine will also enable consumers to enjoy the all-new AI web page optimisation to avoid messy typesetting and visual distressing.
Navigation
HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 users are granted an immersive navigation experience through Petal Maps due to the 7.8-inch screen that brings clearer text and refined images, ultimately delivering an ultra-clear visual experience. Petal Maps also features 3D maps that allow users to view real-world traffic conditions onscreen with realistic lightning that enhances the experience of navigation at night.
Petal One
HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 users can also enjoy exclusive Petal One packages that grant them access to exclusive offers, including twelve months of free VIP subscription to HUAWEI Music and HUAWEI Video and complimentary VIP access to HUAWEI Mobile Cloud 200GC subscriptions for three months.
