These products included the HUAWEI Mate X7 mobile phone, HUAWEI FreeClip 2 earphones, HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN smartwatch, and HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S tablet.

Guided by the design philosophy of pushing boundaries, the HUAWEI Mate X7 boasts a slim, yet durable design and powerful performance, including flagship-grade smartphone imaging.

Our goal is not only to deliver exceptional product experiences, but also to enable every user to embrace the moments that matter most to them.”

HUAWEI Mate X7: Unfolding a New Chapter

The Mate X7 draws design inspiration from the “Time-Space Gate” concept and a 1,600-year-old light-woven brocade tradition, widely regarded as a pinnacle of Chinese silk craftsmanship and part of the country’s national intangible cultural heritage. The phone comes in a nano fiber-finished Brocade White, alongside two vegan leather options—Nebula Red and Black.

The Mate X7 is also Huawei’s first slim foldable smartphone to have the same level of imaging capabilities as a standard flagship phone. Its upgraded second-generation True-to-Color Camera delivers 43% improved color accuracy, and is complemented by a new Ultra Lighting HDR Camera, an Ultra-Wide Camera and a Telephoto Macro Camera. With support for up to 17.5 EV Ultra Lighting HDR Video, the Mate X7 captures vivid details with precision in both bright and low-light environments.

Engineered for durability, the device is powered by a proprietary Ultra-Reliable Foldable Architecture, which includes an outer display made of Ultra Durable Crystal Armor Kunlun Glass, Advanced Precision Hinges, and a 3-Layer Composite Ultra-Tough Structure and more. A 3,550 mm² SuperCool Ultra-Large VC & Graphene Heat Dissipation System and a 5,600 mAh battery further ensure stable performance and all-day battery life.

HUAWEI FreeClip 2: A Fashion Statement

The HUAWEI FreeClip 2 earphones have an ear-clip design that blends open-ear innovation with modern aesthetics, intending to redefine audio products as both listening devices and fashion accessories.

The FreeClip 2 has been designed to wear all day, and comes in the company’s traditional Blue, White and Black colorways, as well as a Rose Gold finish that is brand new for the international market. Each earbud weighs just 5.1 g, ensuring a barely-there feel with long-lasting comfort and a secure fit.

The FreeClip 2 provides clear, dynamic audio and call quality across different usage scenarios thanks to its high-energy dual-driver units and NPU AI processor which delivers ten times the computing performance of the previous generation. It also comes with IP57 dust and water resistance and up to 38 hours of total battery life for effortless, all-day wear in any environment.

HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN: Expanding Your Horizons

The new HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN comes in a new Royal Gold Edition which features an industry-first rare-earth purple ceramic bezel with 18K gold, paired with a zirconium-based liquid metal case and a purple-gold titanium alloy strap.

The watch offers a range of features tailored for deep-sea divers, including an innovative waterproof system and direct sonar-based underwater communication capabilities. It also features an upgraded antenna for stronger all-scenario connectivity, AI-powered noise cancellation for clear calling, precise positioning enabled by the HUAWEI Sunflower Positioning System, and advanced eSIM communication technologies. The watch’s TruSense system additionally comes with the powerful X-TAP technology for more precise and comprehensive health tracking[1].

HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S: Inspiring Creativity

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S is a next-generation tablet designed to seamlessly blend eye comfort with exceptional clarity[2]. Huawei’s PaperMatte Display effectively addresses the long-standing issues related to sharpness often associated with traditional matte displays, making the viewing experience on this new device both vividly clear and gentle on the eyes.

The MatePad 11.5 S is designed for paperless productivity, and comes with an M-Pencil Pro stylus and a magnetic keyboard that make transitioning between note-taking, writing, and content creation smoother. The pre-installed Huawei Notes app offers a wide range of brushes, templates, and free resources, and the GoPaint app now comes with a number of new animation tools that help static ideas to come alive. For video creators, the Wondershare Filmora app now offers shortcut key support to streamline editing workflows, while the WPS Office suite provides professional PC-level document editing, presentations, and data processing features.

Huawei said that today’s launch goes beyond a mere set of technological upgrades — it reflects the company’s enduring commitment to putting consumers first. Under the brand proposition “Now Is Yours,” Huawei hopes to engage with consumers openly and sincerely, and to build cross-regional and cross-cultural connections with a warm and inclusive attitude, enabling more people worldwide to share the joy of technological progress.

Now in its 29th edition, Africa Tech Festival, originally launched as AfricaCom, has evolved alongside the continent’s digital transformation, expanding its focus to encompass the full spectrum of technology, investment opportunities and policies that drive economic growth.

At a time when investment in connectivity, subsea cables, fibre networks, data centres and cloud infrastructure is reshaping Africa’s digital landscape, Africa Tech Festival serves as a catalyst for the conversations and partnerships driving that progress. South Africa’s Department of Communications and Digital Technologies is a Strategic Partner of the event, with Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Hon. Solly Malatsi, confirmed to deliver the opening address.

“Africa Tech Festival is a strategic platform shaping Africa’s digital future, bringing together leaders from across the continent in government and industry to drive collaboration, investment, and innovation. As host country, South Africa is proud to champion an event that not only strengthens partnerships, but advances a shared vision of an inclusive, connected and globally competitive African digital economy,” said Minister Malatsi.

Africa Tech Festival 2026 is structured around six interconnected pillars that reflect the technologies and priorities driving Africa’s digital economy: Telecoms & Connectivity; Data Centres; AI; Cybersecurity; Startups; and Digital Transformation.

Africa Tech Festival is the only forum where leaders from across the tech ecosystem – telecoms operators, hyperscalers and corporate end-users – can come together

Together, these pillars provide a framework for addressing some of the continent’s most pressing priorities, including digital infrastructure expansion, greater connectivity and digital inclusion, responsible AI adoption, stronger data sovereignty and digital trust, and the partnerships and investments needed to unlock Africa’s next wave of innovation and economic growth.

The event will feature dedicated content programmes, executive forums, exhibitions, networking opportunities and investment-focused discussions designed to connect decision-makers from across Africa and around the world.

“It is now clear that this is a defining moment for the ICT sector in Africa. AI adoption is transforming business processes, but it also raises questions around inclusion, data sovereignty and the capacity of digital infrastructure. Africa Tech Festival is the only forum where leaders from across the tech ecosystem – telecoms operators, hyperscalers and corporate end-users – can come together to find the answers,” said David Monaghan, VP, Africa Tech Festival.

As Africa’s digital economy continues to attract global investment and attention, Africa Tech Festival showcases the continent’s capabilities and leadership while connecting African stakeholders with international investors, technology companies and policymakers. Beyond the annual event, it continues to serve as a year-round forum for thought leadership, industry engagement and ecosystem development, helping shape the policies, investments and innovations that are accelerating Africa’s digital transformation.
