Huawei intros its ‘Future TV’, announces price on Vision S smart TV

This global health challenge has significantly changed the nuts and bolts of every aspect of society. One notable adjustment that has been brought by the new reality is the need to stay indoors. Filipinos were compelled to recalibrate their usual routine outdoors and shift to arrangements inside their homes in lieu of safety.

To help Filipinos adapt to the changing reality, Huawei Philippines has been in full steam in launching an array of smart devices that enhance the Filipinos’ now digital-heavy lifestyle. Opportunities to connect, bond, and have special moments have been brought inside and online. Filipinos get to experience more seamless and intelligent interconnectivity of products and software through Huawei’s 1+8+N strategy.

The latest to join the Huawei ecosystem is its very first Future TV — the Huawei Vision S. The Huawei Vision S brings the Filipinos’ smart TV experience into the future with features that are yet to be seen in the local market. With the Huawei Vision S, Filipinos will not only enjoy high-quality entertainment but will also revel in new platforms of connection with loved ones and peers they have sorely missed over the past year.

Stay connected with just one TV call away from families and friends 

Overcoming the unprecedented challenges Filipinos need to face daily is no walk in the park. But what alleviates the weight of the hurdles they need to conquer is knowing they have people right beside them — whether physically or digitally. A quick call or simple catch-up session with loved ones can easily provide respite for anyone trying to make it through the day.

Huawei Vision S breaks down the limitations of isolation with its video-calling capability through a 1080P MeeTime Video Call. This enables users to make and field phone calls from the big screen, and have them rendered in full 1920 x 1080 splendor. Callers can enjoy connecting with friends and family in immersive audiovisual communications at any time.

Huawei Vision S is the sole TV in its price point with its own video calling capability. With the Vision S MeeTime video calls, Filipinos will no longer be missing celebrations — from beloved seasonals like Mother’s Day to huge parties like 18th birthdays. The Future TV’s 13MP Magnetic Camera also ensures the hi-res quality of video calls. It also allows the Huawei Vision S to store footage with stunning 1080p clarity.

Bringing life back to the living room

Smartphones have been playing a crucial part in the everyday life of humanity since their introduction in the market over a decade ago. There is one area that smartphone technology can improve on, though — the promotion of healthy human connection built upon shared experiences.

The Filipino TV experience has long been a driver of Filipino culture, gathering and entertaining families with the most iconic characters and storylines. With the Huawei Vision S, Huawei Philippines aims to help Filipino families reconnect and enjoy meaningful moments without having to go outside. The Huawei Vision S comes equipped with a 120Hz display to provide users with a new level of immersive viewing entertainment.

Filipinos can now watch their favorite digital content without the residual shadow, resolving the longstanding issues of ghosting and vision fatigue. With the Huawei Vision S 120Hz display, everything is rendered more smoothly and with optimal stability. The future TV also causes no discomfort to the eye for it is TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and TÜV Rheinland Flicker-free eye care certified.

The Huawei Vision S also packs cutting-edge sound enhancement technology and the latest and most advanced audio processing algorithm, combined with psychoacoustic and auditory perception models, to fine-tune its immersive audio performance.

Endless content for enjoyment and productivity

Filipinos can also enjoy their all-time favorite content and bonding activities through pre-installed apps in the Huawei Vision S such as Platinum Karaoke, PBA Basketball Slam, and Wish 107.5 App.

Users can also access various apps and content unto the Vision S through the use of Huawei’s very own Petal Search Widget or through external sources like Android Smart Box or even Apple TV Boxes which give you access to all your livestream sites such as Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Google Services and all your favorite apps even for productivity like Zoom for your work and learning needs, right from the big screen.

The audio and display features of the Huawei Vision S make it an ideal device for families to create special moments together even in simple activities like movie marathons, KTV nights, or even series binge-watching — all without leaving the comfort and safety of their homes.

A capital of collaboration 

The Huawei Vision S also improves overall home productivity with several smart features. Running on the all-new HarmonyOS operating system, the Huawei Vision S brings an intelligent voice assistant and unique cross-device collaborative capabilities to Filipinos — connecting individuals, devices, and objects in truly unprecedented ways.

In order to provide users with cross-screen, all-scenario services, HUAWEI Vision S devices are capable of connecting with smartphones via the Vision App and One-Hop Projection.

The Huawei Vision touch remote control includes a built-in NFC tag, which means that it doesn’t need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or be manually paired. Regardless of whether it’s a short video, news program, or movie, users can send it over to the Vision S with a single tap for a hassle-free viewing on a whole new scale.

It’s also great that this feature on the Huawei Vision S Series is also available for Non-Huawei smartphones as well! Users just need to use an Android phone running on Android 8.0 or later and they need to simply download the Huawei Vision Home App to get a glimpse of all these cool and new smart features!

The Huawei Vision S Series can also support iPhone users through third-party apps which can make features such as projection and screen-share available on iOs. The distributed technology in HarmonyOS that’s built into the HUAWEI Vision S devices also makes it easier to play mobile games on an expansive display, allowing gamers to share their gaming experience live with everyone in the room.

As the world changes its dynamics due to the new reality, the needs of people in terms of human connection also change. The Huawei Vision S goes beyond TV for it offers more than just entertainment. It shows what a Future TV should be: a device for connection, a tool for meaningful moments, and a platform of collaboration.

How the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro helps me stay consistent with fitness routines

01/13/2021

With the new year comes new goals and plans. And for most people, being healthy or incorporating more fitness routines in their daily activities is a common idea — “New year, new me” as they would say.

With that in mind, it helps when you log personal data to have a point of reference as you go on with your new fitness journey. It also helps when you take note of routines you do and the intensity of each exercise so you’re aware of how much stronger you’re becoming over time. Thankfully, these and more are easily done on a smartwatch. But beyond data logging and tracking, consistency is key especially when starting out.

What I have with me is the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro. I’m no hardcore fitness buff or gym instructor, and this is not an article on how to lose weight. But here’s how it keeps me consistent with my routines if you want to make sure that you don’t start the year with a sedentary lifestyle.

It helps build habit over time

With the watch’s built-in notification alerts and alarm, you can either set a reminder on your phone or an alarm straight on your watch to get up and start exercising everyday or every other day (depending on your preferred schedule). Doing this, I find that there’s little to no excuse to miss a scheduled activity.

For me, 2:30 is the time I drop what I’m doing, bring out the exercise mat, and start moving.

It’s also extra helpful for those who are just starting out as it helps build habit over time. In the long run, you might not even need to set reminders or alarms anymore once your body gets into that routine of being active during certain times of the week. Although for me, having my watch vibrate every 2:30 PM means I need to stop what I’m doing, bring out the exercise mat, and start moving — even just for a while.

It gives a sense of achievement

During our review of this watch, we’ve shown you how it’s able to log the things you do. All these data are then reflected in the watch’s Activity Records which you can view in entirety on your wrist with just a few swipes. It shows an overview of your daily activity on its first page and swiping up reveals the cumulative efforts you clocked in for the week. You have your step counter, activity logger, and hours active display that tells you how well you’re doing so far in the week.

Seeing my progress for the week pushes me to achieve that weekly goal.

The reason why it helps me stay consistent in being active is that it gives me a goal at the end of each week that I should reach. Plus, seeing my progress day in and day out gives me a sense of achievement and I’m sure it could work positively for other users as well.

Of course, all these data are saved in your smartphone which you could check for a more comprehensive analysis of your activities. But having them readily available on the watch is convenient especially for quick glances while you’re on a rest break, for example.

It maintains your fitness momentum

As established previously, the Watch GT 2 Pro comes with an array of built-in fitness activities for your everyday needs. From High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to practicing Karate, to even hula hooping — it should be able to keep track of what you’re doing and provide data for your workout sessions.

One major benefit I experience from this is that it doesn’t limit me to what I can do for the day. Let’s face it, there are times that you’d rather just sit on the couch and watch TV rather than exercise. During instances like these, I could simply switch up my routine for the day with something that I find more interesting to do.

When I feel lazy to do one exercise, I substitute it with something else just so I don’t skip a day in my routine.

If I don’t feel like doing HIIT, for example, I can opt for swimming since the watch has 5ATM water resistance or engage in sports and the watch will do its thing and log calories burned, minutes active, and more.

This way, I still clocked in some activity and shed some sweat instead of just falling into a trap of skipping a day or two and breaking your hard-earned momentum.

Final thoughts

With our new year goals and today’s work-from-home setup, it’s a bit easier to carve out time from your day and dedicate it to working on your fitness and health. What is hard is to be consistent and to push through your goals even when this “new year, new me” hype has died down for you. I personally have a tendency to be guilty of this and using the GT 2 Pro has so far been helping me stay on track and keep me focused on achieving those self-appointed goals.

Hopefully, you find a device or something that will push you to be more active just like how the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro did for me. If you don’t have the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro, you can get it for PhP 11,999 and it comes with an entertainment package consisting of a multi-connector, Bluetooth speakers, and more. This promo runs until January 17, 2021 so go ahead and check that out if you’re interested.
