Huawei FreeBuds 5 Open Fit Earbuds Announced with new Droplet Style Design

Huawei has announced the latest generation of their open-fit TWS earbuds, the Huawei FreeBuds 5. These ditch the Apple AirPod-esque design that the FreeBuds 4 and FreeBuds 3 used in favour of a new curvey design. At first glance, they were reminiscent of the bean-shaped Samsung Galaxy Buds Live that launched a couple of years…

MWC 2022 – Huawei announces MateBook E, MatePad Paper & MateBook X Pro

The last time I physically attended MWC, in 2019, Huawei announced the beautiful Huawei Mate X 5G, and it looked like the start of an exciting year for Huawei.

Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm Review – Installable apps, accurate fitness tracking, but no Strava

The Huawei Watch GT series has always been great but somewhat limited. After Huawei launched the Watch 2 with WearOS back in 2017, it seemed like they ditched the idea of a fully-fledged smartwatch. The GT series sacrificed the functionality of installable apps in favour of a light OS that provided exceptional battery life and…

Today, Huawei announced their latest Huawei Watch GT 3 series, coming in two sizes 46mm and 42mm. During my briefing, Huawei stated they focussed heavily on the smaller watch this year.

Huawei Watch 3 gets TRUCONNECT fitness app – still no running/cycling apps with Strava integration

In my opinion, the Huawei Watch 3 has the best hardware experience on any smartwatch currently available, though this may change with the imminent Samsung Watch 4. However, with Huawei using their brand new Harmony OS, the software experience doesn’t quite match the outstanding hardware. The OS itself is a pleasure to use and can…

Huawei Watch 3 gets turn by turn navigation with Petal Maps

The Huawei Watch 3 is one of the best smartwatches currently available today. The hardware is exceptional, and the battery life outperforms all current Wear OS watches. However, using Harmony OS and no access to Google, the range of apps for it has been limited, which was my main criticism during my review. Huawei has…

Huawei phones finally get NFC contactless payments via Stocard in the UK & EU

While it has been possible to overcome many of the issues Huawei phones have with Petal Search (and the growing number of apps in the App Gallery), one issue that has persisted is the lack of contactless payments. It is one of the biggest reasons why I didn’t use the Huawei P40 Pro as my…
