For stable and adaptive connectivity across various conditions, Xiaomi Astral Communication also includes Xiaomi Surge T1S Tuner, which flexibly utilizes GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals. This works in tandem with the Super Antenna Array, which features a high-performance antenna that improves overall cellular performance and AI Smart Antenna Switching to maximize signal performance. Consequently, whether users are streaming, navigating, or gaming, this integrated system helps to ensure connections remain strong and stable.
Aside from communication technology, Xiaomi 15T Series will also receive the latest in software with Xiaomi HyperOS 3. Driving an elevated user experience, Xiaomi HyperOS 3 will make its global debut in Xiaomi 15T Series and roll out with enhanced multitasking capabilities, quicker app launches, and redesigned interface elements, including lock screens, wallpapers, icons, widgets, and even a brand new notification design. Additionally, system-level intelligence from Xiaomi HyperAI and enhanced interconnectivity across devices will help increase productivity, enabling users to share and sync content seamlessly.
Bigger, brighter, and more immersive display
Complementing Xiaomi 15T Series’ powerful hardware and connectivity is a clear, vibrant, and the largest display yet among Xiaomi Series smartphones. This expansive 6.83-inch display is designed to elevate content creation, reading, and entertainment with immersive visuals. Furthermore, with a peak brightness of up to 3200 nits, the display maintains clarity even in bright light, helping to ensure visibility across a wide range of environments. Beyond that, its sharp 1.5K resolution renders scenes with exceptional vibrancy and tonal accuracy, bringing photos, videos, and graphics to life in stunning detail.
Xiaomi 15T Pro takes visuals a step further with ultra-narrow 1.5mm bezels on all four sides, made possible by LIPO technology.² These bezels are 27% slimmer than the previous generation, allowing for an edge-to-edge display experience that feels larger without increasing the overall size of the device. Additionally, Xiaomi 15T Pro’s display also boasts an ultra-smooth refresh rate of up to 144Hz, which enables seamless scrolling and makes interactions feel faster and more responsive. To support comfortable and prolonged use, Xiaomi 15T Pro is equipped with full-brightness DC dimming and advanced eye care technology.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi 15T supports a smooth refresh rate of up to 120Hz for fluid scrolling. To further enhance eye care, it incorporates 3840Hz PWM dimming, which effectively reduces screen flicker, making the display more comfortable for prolonged viewing, especially during nighttime reading or in low-light environments.
Power meets endurance
A powerful display experience calls for equally capable internals. Xiaomi 15T Series delivers robust performance and efficient thermal management to meet the demands of today’s users. Inside both Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 15T Pro is a 5500mAh battery, providing sustained power within a slim chassis. While Xiaomi 15T Pro provides charging flexibility with both 90W wired HyperCharge and 50W wireless HyperCharge,⁷ Xiaomi 15T features 67W HyperCharge to help ensure users can top up quickly without long wait times.⁸ Furthermore, built for longevity, the battery can retain up to 80% capacity even after 1600 charging cycles.² It can power on in under four seconds when the battery is flat,² after a charger has been connected.

This design helps to direct heat away from core sources such as the SoC, and evenly distribute it across the device’s surface. Users can therefore experience sustained optimal performance and a more comfortable hold, even during demanding tasks.
Flagship design and durability
All of this cutting-edge performance is housed in a refined, premium design that reflects Xiaomi’s continued pursuit of elegance, durability, and comfort in hand. Xiaomi 15T Series’ unified glass fiber back and battery cover form a seamless exterior, while the flat frame aligns with modern design principles. Slightly rounded edges contribute to a more sophisticated aesthetic, offering a comfortable grip.
Not only does Xiaomi 15T Series come with a premium look and feel, but it also offers added durability for increased peace of mind. This begins from the Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display, which provides 100% improved scratch resistance compared to the previous generation,² and further extends to a durable glass fiber back, blending style with durability. Both models have been upgraded to now withstand depths of up to 3 meters of freshwater,² coming with an IP68 water and dust resistance certification.

It has been two years since the debut of the original HUAWEI FreeClip, Huawei’s first-ever open earbuds that took the market by storm. Its massive popularity proved that the world was ready for a new kind of listening experience. The new HUAWEI FreeClip 2 tackles the hard challenges of open-ear acoustics physics head-on, combining a powerful dual-diaphragm driver with computational audio. It delivers depth and clarity, which was once thought impossible with an open-ear design. Solving the acoustic limitations of open-ear audio alone would have been sufficient to make the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 our pick for best open-ear audio.
But it is way more than that!
Comfortable C-Bridge design
The HUAWEI FreeClip 2 earbuds weigh only 5.1 g per bud, a 9% reduction from the previous generation. This lightweight architecture ensures an effortless experience, perfect for long calls, workouts, and commutes, allowing you to wear them all day without fatigue. The comfort bean is 11% smaller than the previous model, yet the design provides a secure fit that prevents the earbuds from falling out, even during intense activity.
Constructed from a new skin-friendly liquid silicone and a shape-memory alloy, the C-bridge is 25% softer and significantly more flexible than its predecessor. Finished with a fine, textured surface, it ensures a comfortable, irritation-free wearing even after extended use.
Adaptive open-ear listening
The acoustic system has been significantly upgraded, featuring a dual-diaphragm driver and a multi-mic call noise cancellation system. This setup not only delivers powerful sound but also maximises space efficiency. That’s why, despite their small size, these earbuds can deliver substantial acoustic performance.
The Open-fit design of the earbuds demands high computing power to maintain sound quality and call clarity. The HUAWEI FreeClip 2 offers ten times the processing power of the previous generation, serving as Huawei’s first earbuds to feature an NPU AI processor for a truly adaptive experience. The new dual-diaphragm driver includes a single dynamic driver with two diaphragms, effectively doubling the sound output within a compact space to provide a significant boost in volume and bass response.
Furthermore, the earbuds dynamically detect surrounding noise and adjust volume and voice levels in real-time. If the environment is too noisy, the system uses adaptive voice enhancement to specifically boost human frequencies, ensuring you never miss a word of a podcast or audiobook. When you return to a quiet environment, the earbuds automatically settle back to a comfortable volume level.
Crystal clear calls
To ensure call quality in chaotic environments, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 utilises a three-mic system combined with multi-channel DNN (Deep Neural Network) noise cancellation algorithms. This system intelligently identifies and filters out ambient noise. Thanks to the NPU AI processor, the earbuds automatically enhance voice clarity, ensuring your conversations remain crisp regardless of your surroundings.
Battery life and charging
With the charging case, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 offers a total battery life of 38 hours, allowing users to enjoy music throughout a full week of commuting on a single charge. On their own, the earbuds last for 9 hours—enough for a full workday of uninterrupted calls. For those in a rush, just 10 minutes of fast charging in the case provides up to 3 hours of playback. For added convenience, they support wireless charging and are compatible with watch chargers.
Rated IP57, the earbuds are resistant to sweat and water. They can easily withstand intense workouts or even a downpour.
Connectivity
The earbuds support dual connections and seamless auto-switching across iOS, Android, and Windows. When connected to EMUI devices, you can even switch audio between more than two devices. Additionally, when connected to a PC, the earbuds allow you to answer an incoming call without disconnecting from or interrupting your conference setup.
It is, quite simply, a pair of earphones reliable enough for the gym, the office, and the commute.
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.

- 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.
