Huawei releases new products such as the Smart S7, MateBook X Pro, and Freelace Pro 2 earphones

On April 11th, the Huawei HarmonyOS Spring Communication Conference was held online, officially releasing new products such as the Smart World S7 series cars, Matebook X Pro laptops, and Freelace Pro 2 headphones. Unfortunately, Yu Chengdong did not mention or disclose any information about the Huawei P70 series that everyone is longing for. According to staff or store managers from multiple stores cited by Southern Daily, although the opening time of the P70 series mobile phones has not been determined yet, if consumers need it, they can first “blindly order” – that is, leave phone number, name and other information to “grab a purchase spot” when the model, color and other information are unknown, and then select a style and place an order officially after the product is officially released. Li, the store manager of Huawei’s dealership in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, said that according to channel information, this year’s P70 series may only have three models: P70, P70Pro, and P70Art (Art Collection Edition), and the “Super Cup” Pro+model “should not be made”. In terms of price, Li stated that the estimated maximum configuration price is around 10999 to 11999 yuan. It is worth noting that at today’s Huawei new product launch event, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Terminal BG and Chairman of Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU, did not mention the term “far ahead” throughout the entire process. Previously, there were reports that Ren Zhengfei had imposed a “ban” on Yu Chengdong within Huawei, imposing a fine of 10000 yuan for every further mention of “far ahead”.
