Xiaomi has officially launched the REDMI Note 15 Series in the UAE, featuring five new models: REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G, Pro 5G, Pro, and the REDMI Note 15 5G and 4G variants.

The series debuts REDMI Titan Durability, integrating reinforced frames and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for superior drop and crush resistance. The Pro models boast massive Silicon–Carbon batteries (up to 6,580mAh) with 100W HyperCharge, designed to maintain peak health for over six years.

Photography enthusiasts can leverage a flagship 200MP main camera on Pro models, featuring AI-powered 4× lossless zoom and Xiaomi HyperAI editing tools. Performance is driven by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and Xiaomi IceLoop cooling, while the 120Hz AMOLED displays offer a stunning 3,200 nits peak brightness.

Connectivity reaches new heights with Xiaomi Offline Communication, allowing kilometer-level voice calls without network coverage. Xiaomi also expanded its AIoT ecosystem, introducing the REDMI Buds 8 Lite, Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Series, and Smart Audio Glasses.

The REDMI Note 15 Series combines ultimate resilience with cutting-edge AI, setting a new benchmark for smartphone value in the region.

Redmi Note 15 Series Partners with Discovery Channel to Demonstrate Real-World Endurance

To showcase the Redmi Note 15 Series “diamond-grade durability,” Xiaomi has partnered with Discovery Channel on a co-branded campaign featuring explorer and survival expert Ed Stafford, renowned for his extreme outdoor challenges. In the campaign, Ed takes on a continuous 24-hour endurance challenge, using the Redmi Note 15 as his only essential tool.

The film demonstrates the phone’s real-world capabilities: supporting navigation, lighting, photography, compass and weather checks, and connectivity, while highlighting its durability, water resistance, and long-lasting battery life.

The campaign will be amplified across Discovery Channel’s platforms and supported by official press coverage, bringing the “tech + endurance” story to audiences across the UAE.

The holiday season is upon us. And as always, we’re met with a sudden panic over what to buy our loved ones. What does my mum want? What does my dad need? And what can I afford? These are the questions we ask ourselves as we walk around in the shopping mall or browse for the perfect present online. Choosing a meaningful present makes all the difference, but it’s rarely simple. Luckily, Huawei’s wide lineup of smartphones, earphones, wearables and tablets makes the process far less overwhelming.

To help you find the right gift this season, here’s a list of Huawei’s gadgets that fit any budget or taste.

Starting with the sure-fire option that anybody in your life will appreciate, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2. As the follow-up to the hugely popular open-ear earbuds from Huawei, the FreeClip 2 takes everything that people loved in the original FreeClip and makes it better. The earbuds come in a range of new stylish colours, including Blue, White, Rose Gold, and Black. Thanks to the extremely lightweight C-bridge design, these can be worn effortlessly throughout the day. If you are not playing anything, you might even forget they are there. Perhaps the most surprising feature is how good they sound, with incredible booming bass for open-ear earphones.

Now, if you are looking to impress with something more premium, you can go for the HUAWEI Mate XT ULTIMATE DESIGN — the phone that marked a new chapter for smartphones as the first-ever trifold one could actually buy. Featuring a massive tablet-sized 10.2-inch 3K display that folds down into a 6.4-inch regular smartphone size, it is one of the most versatile and striking devices you can gift this season. Now available in a new White vegan leather finish, the device adds a fresh, elegant touch that feels perfectly in tune with the holiday season. The clean, trendy aesthetic not only elevates its premium appeal but also makes it an ideal gift choice, effortlessly matching festive moods and winter styling.

• The HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN carries over the same luxury to wearables. Recently launched in a new Royal Gold Edition, the watch 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. With a host of features tailored for deep-sea divers, including an innovative waterproof system and sonar-based underwater communication, the watch brings serious performance to match its luxury build.

• If you want the deep-sea diving and underwater communication features but in a more rugged yet premium packaging, go for the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2. Available in Blue and Black, the WATCH Ultimate 2 features a zirconium-based liquid metal case, with a dual-colour nanocrystal ceramic bezel and sapphire glass for excellent durability.

• The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro, on the other hand, is a great everyday smartwatch. Offering an incredible battery life of up to 21 days, it is an unparalleled workout companion with a host of new outdoor workout features. Powered by the upgraded TruSense system, the WATCH GT 6 Pro is designed for endurance.

• For the creators and professionals on your list, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X PaperMatte Edition is a great pick. It combines the power of a PC, the creativity of a studio, and the comfort of paper, all in one sleek device. It packs a new and improved ultra-clear PaperMatte Display, enhanced with high-precision nanoscale etching for a much clearer and more comfortable view. When paired with the new HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, this tablet can be the perfect canvas for ideas to flourish.

Figuring out the right gift for your loved ones is no easy task. If you don’t want to spend money on a gift that will end up in somebody’s drawer catching dust, then make sure that you give them something truly special. Happy Holidays!

The evolution of smartphones took a new trajectory in the summer of 2024. After months of speculation and rumours, as Huawei unveiled the first-ever commercially available trifold to the world, it was praised universally. It proved that there is still room for groundbreaking innovations in smartphones. The HUAWEI Mate XT was so ahead of its time, it took the competition over a year to release a viable triple fold.

People now use their smartphones for way more. Smartphones have replaced a multitude of gadgets for everyday things like cameras, televisions, music players, and, to some extent, laptops. You no longer have to scramble for a laptop to send an urgent email or fumble with paper maps to navigate a strange city. Officially called the HUAWEI Mate XT ULTIMATE DESIGN, Huawei’s trifold smartphone was an answer to the growing demand for smartphones capable of multitasking and more immersive media consumption. Offering users the largest smartphone screen experience with a single 10.2-inch display that folds down into a convenient regular smartphone form factor, it expands the possibilities of smartphone interactions and multitasking.

Now, Huawei is expanding the Mate XT line with more colour options. Previously only available in Red and Black, the phone will be available starting next week in the white vegan leather finish. This new finish gives the device a more refined, minimalist aesthetic.

Despite widening competition, the Mate XT is still the benchmark for what a trifold smartphone can be. The Mate XT’s ingenious Z-shape folding method, where one side folds inward and one outward, has a unique benefit. It uses a single continuous display that unfolds into a tablet, and when folded to a regular smartphone size, one-third of that same screen becomes the outer display. It’s a cleaner, more coherent experience.

Trifold experiments from other brands also fall short of Mate XT in charging speeds, battery capacity and screen resolution. Even a whole year and few months after the initial release, the Mate XT is still the slimmest and lightest trifold in the market. Performance and durability follow the same pattern. The groundbreaking Advanced Precision Hinge System, made of ultra-strong, high-strength steel, offers a smooth, effortless and precise opening and closing experience.

A year on, the Mate XT remains the trifold smartphone others measure themselves against. It’s a category that Huawei created, defined, and continues to push forward while everyone else is still trying to catch up.
