Huawei has launched the new HUAWEI MateBook 16s, the most powerful laptop among the MateBook Series. Thin and lightweight, the HUAWEI MateBook 16s is the perfect laptop for professionals and creatives that need a powerful device to work seamlessly while on the move.
Nowadays, people are living in a new office era that embraces remote and hybrid work, where flexible working is becoming better understood by the public. HUAWEI MateBook 16s caters to all consumers’ needs – from a vast display to powerful performance to smart experiences to exquisite design. Whether you work on spreadsheets or editing software, the MateBook 16s has optimised power and screen space to make your work life easier. Equipped with Huawei’s most powerful processor yet, the 12th Gen Intel Core processor, and a 16-inch screen, this laptop is the perfect match for every professional.
Professional large screen to optimise productivity
In recent years, 16-inch thin and lightweight laptops have become a consumer need. As lightweight laptops with large screens bring better visual experience, as well as better software operation performance, they are getting more popular in the market. In view of the rising consumer demands, Huawei has redefined the HUAWEI FullView display for laptops by creating four thin bezels to maximise the screen and make the most of the laptop’s real estate. Continuing Huawei’s classic design, the MateBook 16s’s bezels range from only 5.2mm – 7.3mm, ensuring that the screen-to-body ratio is up to 90%.
Not only is there a high screen-to-body ratio, but the laptop also features a more productive 3:2 aspect ratio to enable users to have a greater viewing experience. Compared with the same 16-inch display on a more economical 16:9 aspect ratio, the HUAWEI MateBook 16s offers more display area to allow for better productivity.
The laptop also boasts a 2520 x 1680 resolution HD display with 100% sRGB wide colour gamut, 1500:1 contrast ratio, 189 PPI and a maximum brightness of 300nits to continue to support professionals as they work.

Equipped with a 2MP 1080p camera at the top of the screen, and an 88° wide-angle, dual microphones, Smart Conference has created an immersive, safe, and efficient conference experience that adapts to complex environments.
AI Camera’s Virtual background mode can let you upload your favourite images as the virtual background. Through the Eye Contact mode, eye contact is maximised for all angles, allowing both parties to communicate and concentrate during the video conference, just like face-to-face communication. FollowCam mode also enables you to be always shown in the centre of the video, improving the meeting’s attentiveness, as well as your professional image.
The AI noise reduction algorithms, one of the underlying technologies of AI Sound, can reduce your background noise on a call when Sound TrueVoice is on, while Personal Voice Enhancement helps you hear the speaker’s voice only; and Sound TrueHD helps to capture the details of your voices to ensure they are clear and loud.

POCO F4 offers all the strengths of a flagship smartphone with extremely efficient power consumption. Powered by the Snapdragon 870 flagship processor, POCO F4 brings to the table the brand’s highest frequency prime core yet.

We are excited to venture forward with the Snapdragon 870 and MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipsets,” said Angus Ng, Head of Product Marketing at POCO Global. “Meeting the highest standards for top-quality entertainment while maintaining competitive affordability, this is the approach that embodies the POCO flagship experience.”
POCO F4: Extremely Powerful with All the Strengths
POCO F4 is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 flagship chipset and features a 7nm processor with 5G support [1]. The device has POCO’s highest frequency prime core running at 3.2GHz.

Huawei today announced the launch of its first-ever All-In-One (AIO) PC HUAWEI MateStation X. Powerful, versatile and smart, the new AIO PC joins the rapidly expanding HUAWEI Smart Office product portfolio, which comprises a range of smart products that are designed to work synergistically together to elevate the modern productivity experience. Reflecting the aesthetic design, innovative technology and intelligent features that underpin the Huawei PC DNA, the HUAWEI MateStation X debuts with a minimalist design, a 28.2-inch 4K+ 10-point multi-touch screen, powerful performance and support for the Super Device cross-device collaboration feature to help users realise their inspiration and creativity.
Modern minimalist design
HUAWEI MateStation X echoes the minimalist look of HUAWEI MateView with a breakthrough integrated design featuring simple stereoscopic, geometric elements. The pure functional design creates a timeless look that redefines minimalist aesthetics.
Radiating elegance and beauty, the CNC-machined and sandblasted aluminium-alloy body of HUAWEI MateStation X is cleanly decorated with simple straight lines that accent the polished panel for a stylish look.
The innovative hidden construction allows the AIO PC to integrate the PC hardware, sound system and power supply in the stand to keep the display thin for easy fitting into more spaces. Changing the tilt of the display is effortless thanks to Huawei’s self-developed hinge, which allows users to adjust the elevation angle of the display easily with a single finger.
The modern design is available in two elegant colour options, Space Grey and Mystic Silver. With neutral and understated colourways and an all-in-one design, the HUAWEI MateStation X brings premium aesthetics and sophistication together and blends into any decor with style.
Impeccable clarity at 4K+ and vibrancy you can touch
Practically borderless, HUAWEI MateStation X has a large 28.2-inch Real Colour FullView Display that comes with a screen-to-body ratio of 92 per cent. The 3:2 aspect ratio makes the display even more ideal for productivity, providing more vertical display area for showing more of a document or spreadsheet while it is being edited. The support for 10-point multi-touch makes navigating the system and browsing the Internet more intuitive, and provides an additional means for users to capture their inspiration.
Equipped with a 4K+ display supporting cinema-level 98 per cent of the P3 wide-colour gamut, HUAWEI MateStation X delivers impressive visuals with incredible clarity and vibrant colours. Every panel is factory calibrated to reach a professional colour accuracy rating of ∆E≤1. The display is also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified and features a peak brightness of 500 nits (typical value), allowing it to produce greater details for more immersive experiences, even when displaying dark scenes.
The Real Colour FullView Display also features five layers of Anti-Reflective coatings, which can effectively reduce up to 58 per cent of screen reflection to maintain a consistent and comfortable viewing experience. The display is also TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free Display certified.
Built for power and speed
Inside the beautiful chassis, HUAWEI MateStation X is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5000H Series processor. Equipped with high-performance hardware geared to multitasking needs, the AIO PC is configurable with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, which has 8 cores and 16 threads and comes standard with 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM and a 512GB high-speed solid-state drive to deliver incredible performance across productivity and entertainment use cases. Combined with the new HUAWEI Shark fin fan, featuring super-thin, high-performance fan blades, HUAWEI MateStation X runs cool and quietly to help users stay focused in silence.
HUAWEI MateStation X is also equipped with a three-speaker sound system, which includes two full-range speakers and a woofer powered by Devialet’s Speaker Active Matching (SAM) technology to deliver room-moving, rich sounds with depth. Audio calls and virtual conference meetings are transformed by the four-microphone array, which picks up sound from as far as five metres away and supports AI noise-cancellation technology to minimise the ambient noise and reverberation that may affect call quality.
For Internet connectivity, the next-generation Wi-Fi 6 ensures fast and reliable connection speeds for web browsing, online video streaming, file transfer and beyond.
Seamless cross-device experiences
To meet the dynamic needs of PC users today, HUAWEI MateStation X offers intelligent and seamless multi-device experiences when it is linked up with Huawei smartphones, tablets or other Huawei devices. Supporting the new Super Device feature, which enables a convenient one-drag connection between the PC and other devices, the new AIO PC is excellent for multi-screen presentations, and provides users with super-fast access to their phone or tablet documents and media files.
With the HUAWEI MateStation X, the PC-smartphone Multi-Screen Collaboration experience is taken to a new level. Users can take advantage of the large 28.2-inch display to get an expanded view of up to three mobile apps at once, as well as transfer files between two devices with the drag-to-connect operation. Files on the smartphone can be opened and edited on the PC; and once the work is complete, saved to the smartphone. Smartphone calls can also be picked up through the PC, allowing users to chat hands-free using PC peripherals.
Huawei tablets paired with HUAWEI M-Pencil and connected to the HUAWEI MateStation X can be used as drawing pads for sketches in Mirror Mode. In Extend Mode, tablets can be used as a second screen to provide an extra display area for improved productivity. Collaborate mode lets users transfer images and documents between two connected devices with a simple drag and drop, and uses the PC’s keyboard and mouse for conveniently editing files saved on a tablet.
Pairing Huawei audio products with HUAWEI MateStation X is also very simple, requiring users to only bring the earphones close to the AIO PC to initiate the instant pairing process, which can be completed by confirming the pop-up prompt.
The HUAWEI Wireless Keyboard with Fingerprint and HUAWEI Bluetooth Mouse are available alongside the HUAWEI MateStation X, featuring matching colourways. The keyboard includes a dedicated Fingerprint Power Button for securely powering on the device and logging into the system in one step. For effortless cross-device pairing, users may also initiate Multi-Screen Collaboration by tapping a Huawei smartphone against the Huawei Share sensor area on the keyboard.
Pricing and availability
The HUAWEI MateStation X is now available from the Huawei Store (RRP: £1799.99).
