The event marked one of the company’s largest consumer product launches in a foreign country since its overseas smartphone business was hit hard by US trade sanctions.
Other products introduced at the event in Malaysia’s capital included the company’s MatePad Pro series tablet, the Huawei Band 10 wearable device and the FreeArc earphones.
At the Kuala Lumpur launch, Huawei touted the device as a “pioneering innovation in the industry” and a record-breaker in terms of being the thinnest foldable smartphone with the largest foldable display in the market.
