Huawei unveils new range of ‘Super Device’ products in Saudi Arabia

RIYADH: Huawei Tech Investment Saudi Arabia unveiled a new range of “Super Device” products including Huawei Watch 3|3 Pro, the new 12.6-inch Huawei MatePad Pro, Huawei FreeBuds 4 and Huawei MateView, at a recent media gathering held in Riyadh.

The event was attended by top-tier media and technology influencers, who were all given an exclusive look at the new range of products.

While there are more smart devices in our lives than ever, the experience they provide often isn’t smart. Siloed systems tend to complicate interconnectivity and operations, which have ultimately led to a fragmented user experience.

The Super Device experience is designed to address this problem. It provides a common language for different kinds of devices to connect and collaborate, providing users with a more convenient, smooth and secure experience. It uses distributed technology to meet the varied needs of all types of different devices with a single system, enabling flexible deployment as needed. It also combines previously independent devices into a cohesive and holistic Super Device that integrates all hardware and resources to freely leverage the capabilities of its component devices based on the user’s real-time needs.

Bill Yu, vice president of Huawei Tech Investment Saudi Arabia, said: “Today marks the most important launch event for us during this year as we are about to kick off the launch of a new range of ‘Super Device’ experience products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

He added: “Through this new range of Super Device products, Huawei is giving consumers in KSA access to a seamless and truly intelligent experience across multiple devices in all different types of scenarios. The unveiling of this range of Super Device new products is just another step in our efforts to deliver the best possible future-oriented user experience with a forward-looking approach.”

Huawei Vision S

The Huawei Vision S comes with 1080p MeeTime Full HD Video Call, which enables users to make and take video calls on the big screen, in full HD quality. Additionally, users can transfer the video call from their phone to the big screen with ease, giving them the freedom and opportunity to enjoy immersive audio-visual communications at any time.

The video call experience is complete with a 13 MP magnetic camera supporting 1,920 x 1,080 resolution for video calls and photography, making it remarkably convenient to install and adjust.

Huawei Vision S is capable of connecting with phones to offer the best of both worlds. Huawei phones can quickly project audio and video content to the large screen for sharing, with just a tap with the OneHop Projection. Phones can be mirrored on the larger screen of the Huawei Vision S with nimble smartphone functionality such as touchscreen attributes to reproduce the smartphone experience on the TV.

Huawei Vision S distributed gaming offers clearer graphics and ultra-low lag with low-latency. With Huawei Share, the Huawei Vision S and smartphones can share videos, pictures and apps with newfound ease, providing users with an endless source of convenience and comfort.

It comes with a 120 Hz display, which offers a new level of viewing immersion and comes armored with TÜV Rheinland-certified low blue light and flicker-free technologies, to provide real-time viewing, while also protecting the user’s vision. Thanks also to Huawei’s smart MEMC, the Huawei Vision S is capable of inserting 24/30 fps video into 120 frames on an intelligent basis, regardless of what is being played, from fight scenes in movies, to fast-paced action in games, to shots on goal — everything is displayed smoothly and with optimal stability.

The Huawei Vision S features four 10W speakers, including two 10 full-frequency speakers, and two 10W high-frequency speakers giving audio a gentler edge, while ramping up the authority of bass sounds.

The Huawei Vision S is now available for pre-order through online Huawei Store, eXtra Stores and across selected retailers. It is available in two different sizes — the 55-inch model priced at SR3,499 ($933) and the 65-inch model priced at SR4,499 — with gifts worth SR2,042 that include Huawei MatePad, three-month Huawei Video subscription, three-months Starzplay subscription, three-year warranty and a special entertainment gift.

By activating the eSIM service on their smartphones, users can share the phone number, data and voice plans between their smartphone and smartwatch without having to worry about the battery. The watch supports a five-day battery life in smart mode and provides 21 days in ultra-long battery life mode.

The brilliant display on Huawei MatePad Pro is complemented by an eight-speaker sound system, which consists of large-amplitude tweeters and woofers, to provide immersive multimedia experiences for the consumers. The Huawei MatePad Pro also supports multi-screen collaboration with PCs.

Huawei FreeBuds 4
Huawei also unveiled its latest true wireless stereo (TWS) Bluetooth earbuds, the Huawei FreeBuds 4. This new addition to Huawei’s numeric series of TWS earbuds inherits the world’s first open-fit active noise cancelation (ANC) technology from the previous generation. With open-fit ANC 2.0 technology, lightweight comfort, high-resolution sound quality and intelligent audio connectivity, Huawei FreeBuds 4 delivers on not only audio quality but also takes the open-fit ANC listening experience to a whole new level.

Huawei MateView
Huawei MateView is a large 4K+ Ultra-HD pro-grade standalone monitor featuring a 28.2-inch 3:2 panel that supports a native resolution of 3,840 × 2,560. It offers a 94 percent screen-to-body ratio to provide users with a highly immersive viewing and premium viewing experience where even the most minute detail is faithfully reproduced on screen. In addition, it debuts with the first-ever integrated height-adjustable mount.

Huawei MateView not only supports cable connections, but also lets users declutter their tables by connecting their mobile phone, notebook, tablet to the monitor wirelessly. Users have access to a versatile range of ports for every office use case, including two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, one HDMI port, one Mini DisplayPort and one 3.5 mm audio jack. Huawei MateView introduces a cleverly hidden Huawei Smart Bar that offers a user-friendly touch interface for users to easily adjust various display settings, such as input source and volume.

Huawei MateView GT

Tuaja resorts in Al-Ahsa set to transform rural tourism

Updated 58 min 47 sec ago

The lavender carpet was laid out last Wednesday in Al-Ahsa as a special groundbreaking ceremony was held for Tuaja Luxury Resorts, marking the start of a new chapter in Saudi Arabia’s rural tourism and hospitality sector.

Slated to open by early 2027, three brand new resorts — Tuaja Premium Farm Resorts, Tuaja Eco Resorts, and Tuaja Adventure Resorts — will be operated by Hilton Worldwide.

All will be clustered around a central area of Al-Ahsa, surrounded by lush picturesque farms.

This trio of tailored activations are expected to play a key role in positioning Al-Ahsa as a leading destination in rural tourism, capitalizing on its location within the largest palm oasis in the world.

Attended by Prince Saud bin Talal bin Badr, governor of Al-Ahsa, the event marked the groundbreaking of the first luxury resort development project by Dan Company under the Tuaja brand and featured detailed mock-ups of the resort rooms.

“We remain committed to strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors to deliver development projects that meet the highest standards of quality, fulfill the aspirations of citizens and visitors — and align with Vision 2030,” Prince Saud said.

Dan Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, was established to unlock the potential of rural tourism across the Kingdom. This inaugural project will transform rural areas into sustainable tourism hubs that align with the goals of Vision 2030, supporting national economic diversification and community development.

Dan Company also aims to contribute approximately SR6 billion ($1.6 billion) to the Kingdom’s GDP by 2030. Its strategy includes attracting around 14 million visitors, including 1.4 million overnight stays and 12 million day experiences, through an innovative business model that combines luxury hospitality under the Tuaja Luxury Resorts brand, with rural lodges developed in partnership with local communities across the Kingdom.

The Tuaja resorts are being developed in the Al-Ahsa region with the support of the Al-Ahsa Development Authority.

Saad bin Abdulaziz Al-Kroud, chairman, Dan Company, who describes himself as “a son of Al-Ahsa,” underlined the significance of the event, saying: “Today marks a major milestone and turning point in our journey to deliver exceptional hospitality experiences across the Kingdom, celebrating the cultural, historical, and natural richness of the Al-Ahsa region. Tuaja resorts are not merely destinations, they offer an extraordinary blend of authenticity and modernity.”

During the ceremony, Abdulrahman Abaalkhail, chief executive of Dan Company, was in conversation with popular media personality Weam Al-Dakheel, highlighting the company’s vision to redefine rural tourism through immersive, community-driven experiences.

The Tuaja resorts in Al-Ahsa will cover 1.8 million square meters and feature nearly 200 accommodation units, including upscale villas and hotel rooms — some with private pools.

These developments represent the first phase of the Tuaja resort portfolio, which will expand to other regions across the Kingdom. Each resort will feature a design identity rooted in the culture and natural character of its location.

Dan Company is aiming for LEED Gold certification for all its developments.

Flying cars in Saudi Arabia? ALJ, Joby sign agreement

Updated 04 June 2025
Arab News

Abdul Latif Jameel, an 80-year-old network of diversified businesses, and Joby Aviation, a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, have announced the signing of an MoU to explore opportunities to establish a distribution agreement in Saudi Arabia for Joby’s electric aircraft.

This announcement builds upon the renewed economic partnership between the US administration and the Saudi government toward shared innovation and transportation growth. Potential delivery of up to 200 Joby aircraft and related services valued at approximately $1 billion are expected by the businesses over the coming years. In the long-term, Abdul Latif Jameel and Joby also see potential revenue opportunities across the Middle East. 

Abdul Latif Jameel and Joby share complementary long-term visions to revolutionize the future of mobility through transportation services that are cleaner, safer, more efficient and more affordable, helping to improve passenger experiences while simultaneously protecting the planet. In addition, the Jameel family invested in Joby’s Series C funding round, led by Toyota Motor Corporation in 2020.

The direct sale of aircraft through businesses such as Abdul Latif Jameel form one pillar of Joby’s commercialization strategy. Additionally, Joby will directly own and operate its aircraft and services in certain markets, like the US, and partner for similar operations in other markets, such as Japan. 

“This collaboration is about bringing America’s leadership in electric air mobility to the world,” said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation. “Together with Abdul Latif Jameel, we’re not just imagining a cleaner, safer, more efficient future— we’re building it. And there is no better partner to help unlock the extraordinary opportunity for air travel in the region.”

Hassan Jameel, vice chairman, Saudi Arabia, Abdul Latif Jameel, said: “Saudi Arabia is transitioning toward a new era of mobility — one that is on-demand, shared, connected, and sustainable. eVTOL is an exciting and important component of this. We are looking forward to collaborating with Joby to support the transformation of the Kingdom’s mobility sector. This collaboration also comes as Abdul Latif Jameel Motors marks 70 years of distributing Toyota in Saudi Arabia — a strategic investor in Joby.”

Joby’s collaboration with Abdul Latif Jameel will initially focus on Saudi Arabia, where Abdul Latif Jameel has an extensive presence, network and deep operational experience. The two businesses will work together to explore distribution and sales collaborations, the launch of local air taxi services, including the establishment of aftermarket services such as maintenance, repair, and overhaul, and pilot training.

Joby’s piloted, all-electric aircraft is designed to carry four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, offering high-speed mobility with a fraction of the noise produced by helicopters and zero operating emissions. The business plans to carry its first passengers in Dubai in 2026.

Given the importance of mobility to Saudi Arabia’s urban transformation, the collaboration will drive socioeconomic growth in the Kingdom and create employment opportunities for Saudi nationals, in line with Vision 2030.

Hajj: Najm ensures safety of pilgrims on the road

Updated 03 June 2025
Arab News

Najm is playing a pivotal role in bolstering traffic safety within the holy sites by ensuring prompt arrival at accident scenes, initiating necessary procedures and alleviating traffic congestion.

Najm’s operational plan for Hajj reinforces national efforts to ensure the safety and comfort of pilgrims. The plan facilitates the smooth and secure performance of rituals, safeguarding pilgrims from the moment of their arrival at the Kingdom’s border crossings until their safe return home. Najm has prepared a field fleet of approximately 120 vehicles, including 54 motorcycles, and a dedicated field team of more than 150 qualified specialists.

The operational plan incorporates a robust, integrated technical infrastructure designed to proactively manage the expected rise in pilgrim numbers and bolster traffic safety in the holy sites. A central operations room, outfitted with the latest smart systems and diverse digital communication channels, serves as the command hub. This network leverages tools such as the Najm application, IVR system, and the direction and control system. Complementing these are a full-service call center and WhatsApp service, all integrated to expedite response times and optimize the handling of any traffic incidents. 

Abdullah Al-Khalaf, acting CEO at Najm

Abdullah Al-Khalaf, acting CEO at Najm, said: “We at Najm are proud to be part of the integrated national system concerned with serving pilgrims, under the supervision of our leadership. We have worked to improve our operational readiness this year in a qualitative manner, harnessing all our human and technical capabilities to support the efforts made to enhance traffic safety during the Hajj season in cooperation with the General Traffic Department and all concerned parties.”

He added: “Najm’s operational plan for this year’s Hajj season reinforces the Kingdom’s commitment to caring for pilgrims. It aligns with the ‘Pilgrims’ Experience Program’ — a key initiative of Saudi Vision 2030 — to enhance the Hajj journey and enable pilgrims to perform their rituals with ease and peace of mind.”

In addition, within the framework of its social responsibility program “Najm Al-Khair” and in continuation of the company’s efforts in the Hajj mission, Najm is sponsoring the “Aoun” initiative in cooperation with the National Center for Responsibility and Studies. 

Aoun is a community initiative helping pilgrims through a team of volunteers providing professional services to pilgrims that enable them to perform their rituals with ease.

Moreover, Manafeth, Najm’s subsidiary, is actively receiving pilgrims at the Kingdom’s border crossings. Manafeth facilitates their entry by issuing mandatory third-party liability insurance for foreign vehicles. This service, accessible through its border offices, website, and the Manafeth application, ensures pilgrims receive necessary insurance protection, safeguarding their rights and covering their liabilities in the event of traffic incidents during their Hajj.
