Huawei Presents Super Device Concept at Mobile World Congress 2022
Today, Huawei
announced the Super Device concept for Smart Office on Mobile World Congress
2022, a new solution that greatly enhances cross-device connectivity and
collaboration amongst supported Huawei devices. The software-driven feature
arrives in line with Huawei’s push towards a Seamless AI Life, which the
company envisions across five major scenarios – Health and Fitness, Easy
Travel, Smart Office, Entertainment, Smart Home.
As one of the key scenarios
of Huawei’s Seamless AI Life, Huawei brings the vision of Boundless Creation
and Seamless Communication to the Smart Office, aiming to enable a digitally
efficient work life experience by synergizing the two core Huawei capabilities:
Cross-Device Collaboration and Ecosystem Integration. Cross-device collaboration
enables users to connect multiple devices together into a singular experience,
while ecosystem integration closes the gap between Windows and mobile
platforms, stimulating creativity and improving communication efficiency.
In the Philippine
market, HUAWEI will also bring several new devices with Super Device to
consumers in April, including HUAWEI MateBook Series, the new HUAWEI Matepad
and a Printer.
HUAWEI Smart Office: Super Device, Super Creativity
As consumers own
more and more smart devices, users often find themselves juggling two different
and fragmented ecosystems: laptops for work, and smartphones for entertainment.
With no single device fully supporting all of a user’s daily needs, the ability
for devices to leverage each other’s strengths and create a single unified
experience has become more important than ever. This is especially important
with the rising demand for maintaining productivity while consumers are on the
move.
Cross-Device
Collaboration makes connection between devices more seamless and fuss-free. It
has been at the frontier of innovating technology that connects devices,
introducing the OneHop feature in 2018, which transfers smartphone files to PC
with just one tap. In 2020, it introduced Multi-Screen Collaboration, enabling
Multi-Screen Collaboration between two devices such as PC-tablet,
PC-smartphone, and tablet-smartphone. This brought new functions such as the
transfer of files between two devices via drag and drop, as well as the ability
to directly open mobile files on the laptop. Today, Huawei is set to
eliminate inter-device barriers by bringing the Super Device, first launched in
2021, to the Smart Office, allowing all compatible devices to work as one.
Ecosystem Integration is
another core capability of Smart Office. With mobile apps excelling in content
consumption needs, the Huawei Mobile App Engine brings access of AppGallery’s wealth of popular productivity and entertainment apps to Huawei laptops.
Super Device: Come Together as One
Now, the Super
Device is
available on Huawei PCs via the Super Device’s easy drag-to-connect interface
in the PC’s Control Centre, enabling speedy access to your phone images and
files, as well as quick and convenient smart screen connectivity for
presentations. This allows a focused and efficient workflow for the user who is
now able to process tasks with ease across devices.
With the Pop-Up
Pairing feature, the
Huawei PC can also swiftly and conveniently connect to Huawei’s wireless
earbuds, speakers, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, as well as printer,
holistically improving the smart office experience.
Collaborating with Huawei smartphone: Super Multi-tasking
Once connected,
the smartphone will be available as an external drive in the PC. This allows
users to access smartphone files like they would with any other external
storage device, using the PC file system UI they are familiar with.
As a Super
Device, the smartphone’s interface will also be displayed on the PC’s screen,
and with Multi-Screen Collaboration, up to three mobile apps can be opened
directly on the PC for multi-tasking. Users can also easily access material
saved on their phone via their PC through drag and drop. Edit smartphone files
with the HUAWEI MateBook, where all changes are automatically saved to the
phone, and ready to be shared.
Collaborating with Huawei MatePad: Super Co-creation
Like the
smartphone, upon connection, the tablet becomes recognised as an external drive
in the PC, allowing free transfer and management of files between devices via
drag-and-drop, or copy-and-paste.
The PC + Tablet
Super Device supports three connection modes, each catering to distinct use
cases.
In Mirror Mode, the PC’s screen is
replicated onto the tablet’s display. Any content written or drawn with the
M-Pencil on the HUAWEI MatePad is reflected in real-time on the PC – a powerful
feature that helps users make the most out of professional design software. In Extend Mode, the PC’s display is
extended to the tablet, with each display showing different content. This mode
transforms the tablet into an external monitor for the PC, improving
productivity with more screen estate. In Collaborate
Mode, the tablet’s files can be directly managed from the PC.
Collaborating with Huawei MateView: Super Productivity
Users have the
flexibility of connecting a Huawei PC to a HUAWEI MateView monitor, to enjoy a
larger display. The HUAWEI MateView supporting 4K+ resolution and P3
cinema-level colour gamut, allowing users to view their creative work with
industry-grade detail and accuracy.
Collaborating with HUAWEI Vision: Super Presentation
The Super Device
allows users to enjoy Mirror Mode and Extend Mode projections. As with the
monitor, this Super Device pairing allows users to go beyond their laptop’s
screen size when they require the larger screen estate, whether for higher
productivity, or an enjoyable time watching their favourite entertainment on a
luxurious screen. With Extend Mode, users can take meeting notes on the HUAWEI
MateBook, while hosting a conference call via the extended screen on the HUAWEI
Vision.
It’s only just begun
Based on the
distributed operating system capabilities of EMUI 12 and HarmonyOS, Huawei's
products that have been launched in the Philippine market, such as HUAWEI P50
Pro, HUAWEI MateBook 14s, HUAWEI MatePad Pro and MatePad 11, HUAWEI Vision, and
HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 already have the basic Super Device capabilities.
Support for Super
Device functionality will extend to previous models of Huawei PCs, as long as
users upgrade the Huawei PC Manager to its latest version.The
MateBook series that have been launched in the Philippine market will receive
the Super Device function through a system upgrade in March this year.
With these
continuous system upgrades in the future, these can continually improve user
experiences, whether at work or play.
Super Device
brings users to the next level of technological experience, productivity, and
enjoyment as part of Huawei’s push to realize the Seamless AI Life. In the near
future, Huawei plans to continue adding support for more devices.
