Dubai, all glitz and futuristic vibes, and Huawei rolls up with a whole bag of shiny new toys. They’re calling it “Fashion Next,” which, honestly, sounds like a runway show for gadgets. The main characters? The HUAWEI Pura 80 Series and the c. Oh, and by the way, they dropped the bomb that XMAGE is coming back to the Grand Palais in Paris yes, the artsy one for the “The World, You and Me” XMAGE Awards and some big annual photo bash at Paris Photo 2025. Kinda fancy, right? The whole thing was basically Huawei flexing their tech muscles and showing off how they blend cool gizmos with that whole “we care about people” thing.
Now, let’s talk about the Pura 80 Series. If you’re into snapping pics of every random thing (or, let’s be real, your food), this might be your new obsession. The Pura 80 Pro and Ultra are packing a 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR camera—yeah, sounds intense, because it is. Plus, they slapped in some wild pixel-level color magic, so your shots don’t just look good, they look like you hired a pro (or at least a very committed Instagrammer). Oh, and get this the Ultra version has this world-first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera. Basically, you can zoom in or out, near or far, and your photos still come out crispy. Style-wise, Huawei’s mixing the best of both worlds: think classy Eastern shades meets slick Western design, with this glazed texture that screams “touch me, I’m fancy.”
Jumping over to the MatePad 11.5, this thing’s basically trying to be your BFF whether you’re a student, hustling at work, or just doodling away. The screen? Huge 11.5 inches of 2.5K resolution goodness. And the PaperMatte tech means it won’t torch your eyeballs after a Netflix binge or a long study sesh. It’s super thin (like, “where’d it go?” thin) but packs a monster battery, so you’re not chained to the charger. There’s even a new M-Pencil that charges wirelessly just snap it on, and you’re good. Apps like HUAWEI Notes and GoPaint are beefed up too, so you can actually get stuff done or just mess around.
Oh, and XMAGE Awards? That’s still a thing, and it’s actually huge. They just kicked off the 2025 edition, opening up global submissions on June 11. Apparently, it’s one of the biggest photo competitions out there if you’ve got a Huawei phone and an eye for artsy stuff, you might want to give it a go. There are eight categories this year, from dreamy landscapes to experimental stuff, and even a new XMAGE 100 format. The judging panel is more diverse (finally), and they’re looking at everything from your technique to whether your photo tugs at the ol’ heartstrings.
So, yeah, come 2025, Huawei’s heading back to the Grand Palais for the big XMAGE bash at Paris Photo. It’s a pretty big deal imagine the world’s art crowd mingling with techies. Kind of a full-circle, arts-meets-tech moment.
Bottom line? Huawei’s not just pumping out gadgets they’re pushing this idea that tech should spark creativity and connect people. The Dubai event wasn’t just a product drop; it was a statement. They’re not slowing down, and honestly, it’s kind of exciting to see what they’ll cook up next.
