HUAWEI Boldly Fuses Fashion and Innovation at Launch of Mate X7, MatePad 11.5 S 2026, and FreeClip 2

HUAWEI reaffirms its commitment to delivering innovation, craftsmanship, and intelligent technology to Filipino consumers with the unveiling of its newest lineup of fashion-forward devices, headlined by its latest flagship foldable offering, the HUAWEI Mate X7. Also among the devices introduced at the event were the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 and HUAWEI FreeClip 2.

Held last February 19 at The Fifth at Rockwell, Makati, the launch event was built around the concept “Technology x Fashion,” transforming the space into a futuristic runway where advanced technology met high-end aesthetics. The event featured a visually striking runway show, showcasing HUAWEI’s innovations and fusing fashion with technology.

The King of Foldables: Redefining Smartphones with Ultra Durability and Exceptional Cameras

One of the event’s biggest highlights was the launch of the HUAWEI Mate X7, aptly crowned the King of Foldables. Filipino A-list actor Jericho Rosales graced the event to share how HUAWEI’s newest foldable innovation fits seamlessly into his lifestyle, balancing demanding shoots, creative pursuits, and everyday moments. 

“What really stood out to me about the HUAWEI Mate X7 is its durability that exceeds my expectations,” said the actor. “Foldable phones are often seen as fragile because of their folding mechanism, but the HUAWEI Mate X7 boldly proves that perception wrong.” Designed with 360° protection, the HUAWEI Mate X7 is built with an industry-unique structure, using aerospace-grade materials engineered from the inner and outer screens to the hinge and middle frame. This strengthens the HUAWEI Mate X7’s resistance to bending, impact, drops, scratches, dust, and even hot water. Its IP59 and IP58 water and dust resistance allows the phone to withstand hot water temperatures of up to 80°C and freshwater depths of up to 2 meters. 

Aside from its toughness, the HUAWEI Mate X7 also becomes the industry’s first foldable with top-tier photography features that stand fully on par with flagship bar phones. “I love how it lets me capture scenes exactly how I see them,” Rosales said. Introducing an all-new True-to-Colour Camera, the HUAWEI Mate X7 renders lifelike color accuracy. Its 50MP Ultra Lighting HDR Camera offers increased light intake, while the 17.5 EV dynamic range allows users to film professional-grade content in any complex lighting or even in backlit scenes. The 50MP telephoto macro camera offers great versatility, capturing crisp photos of expansive landscapes or intricate details up close.

“The best thing about it is that all these groundbreaking features are housed in a sleek, fashionable profile that makes a statement,” stated Rosales. Wrapped in premium vegan leather, the HUAWEI Mate X7 unfolds a refined 8-inch large-screen experience. “The expansive screen is helpful for when I need to be productive,” he added. Through Live Multitask, users can run up to three app windows simultaneously, allowing them to work on multiple things at once. You can explore and use Google apps on the X7, while HUAWEI AppGallery offers access to essential apps, including local favorites like GCash, BPI, BDO, Facebook, YouTube, and Angkas. Powering the experience is a 5600mAh ultra-large battery with 66W Wired and 50W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge for all-day performance.

PC-Like Efficiency with Paper-Like Experience for Portable Work and Entertainment

Also unveiled at the event was the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026, a 4-in-1 productivity companion designed for modern users. Popular content creator CK De Leon discussed how the tablet keeps up with her fast-paced workflow, allowing her to script, edit, and jot down ideas on the go. “This flexibility lets me answer emails with its HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, sketch ideas with the HUAWEI M-Pencil 3rd Gen, edit content, and upload or post with the HUAWEI Bluetooth Mouse,” said De Leon. 

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 delivers a PC-level productivity experience through its PC-Level WPS Office 3.0 suite, which now supports advanced math functions and inserting documents or links to make working on files using the tablet more seamless. With a PC-like accessory bundle powered by NearLink technology, including the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, the Smart Magnetic Keyboard, and the HUAWEI Bluetooth Mouse, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S transforms into a mobile office. “One thing I value most is portability without sacrificing power. That’s why this device has become part of my daily workflow. The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 is a 4‑in‑1 Better Than Ever Productivity Tablet—tablet, keyboard, mouse, and pencil in one system,” she claimed. Its eye-friendly, ultra-clear PaperMatte Display with 2.8K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate ensures smooth, comfortable viewing, perfect for extended hours of work or play. Beyond eye safety, the display also enhances the writing and drawing experience on the upgraded HUAWEI Notes and GoPaint app.

With its 8800mAh long-lasting battery, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 is built to keep up with full workdays, keeping users like De Leon powered through long creative sessions, back-to-back meetings, or heavy editing work with minimal downtime. Additionally, the 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge brings the tablet’s battery back to full in no time.

Immersive Listening: You Never Feel and Never Falls 

HUAWEI FreeClip 2 Product Presenter PJ Ragadio

To complete the innovative tech experience, HUAWEI also introduced its latest functional tech accessory—the HUAWEI FreeClip 2. Famed internet personality Kerwin King spoke about the device’s unique Airy C-Bridge design, which offers a secure, comfortable “open-ear” fit that feels weightless even after hours of use. “No matter how hard I move while working out or how long I wear it while I’m working, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 really does not budge and always feels comfortable,” King said.

The earbuds were made with high-performance shape-memory alloy and skin-friendly liquid silicone, which makes them as fashionable as they are comfortable to wear. Internally, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 is powered by an NPU AI Processor and a Dual-Diaphragm Driver, providing an unbeatable listening experience. Its 3-mic call noise cancellation system keeps calls crystal-clear on both ends, even when users are taking calls in the busiest settings. With an IP57 dust and water resistance, the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 can easily handle sweat and splashes. Plus, its 38 hours of battery life and 9 hours of listening time make these earbuds the perfect companion for all-day listening.
