Huawei's 2025 Spring Launch Event: Pocket3, MateBook X Pro 2025, and More Flagship Products Imminent, Native HarmonyOS to Achieve Full Coverage!

Huawei's 2025 spring launch event is highly anticipated. Leaks suggest the event may take place as early as March, unveiling iterative versions of several best-selling products and continuing the success of the 2024 "Technology Spring Festival Gala." The 2024 spring event, spanning five days, launched several flagship products including the Zhijie S7, the new Wenjie M5, and the MateBook X Pro, and officially announced the arrival of HarmonyOS NEXT, leaving a lasting impact. Building on the success of 2024, the 2025 event is poised to deliver even more surprises. New vehicle models are likely to be showcased, alongside several new digital products. This article will focus on analyzing several anticipated digital product releases.

The Return of the Pocket King: A Comprehensive Upgrade of the Huawei Pocket3

The Huawei Pocket3 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated highlights of the launch event. Its predecessor, the Pocket2, ignited competition in the small foldable phone market in 2024, becoming a model for numerous manufacturers. Even in retrospect, the Pocket2 remains an excellent product. Its innovative Xuanwu waterdrop hinge and full-focal-length XMAGE quad-camera system brought the user experience incredibly close to that of a flagship straight-screen phone. If the Pocket2 had a shortcoming, it was perhaps the relatively small external screen.

Therefore, the Huawei Pocket3 is expected to feature significant upgrades to its external screen. Given the current trend in the small foldable phone market towards larger and more functional external screens, Huawei will likely follow suit, equipping the Pocket3 with a larger external display. Furthermore, some bloggers have leaked information suggesting the Pocket3 will be thinner, lighter, and smaller. The first two predictions are plausible, as each generation of foldable phones strives for weight and thickness reduction. However, whether the device's overall size will shrink remains uncertain. The Pocket2's size is not overly large, with a 6.94-inch unfolded display allowing for comfortable one-handed operation. The internal space of a small foldable phone is highly limited, with the camera, external screen, and battery already occupying significant space. Reducing the size would not only raise questions about user acceptance but also significantly increase R&D and manufacturing costs, making it a counterproductive move.

Beyond aesthetic changes, the Pocket3 is expected to utilize the latest Kirin chip, with the specific model yet to be confirmed, but likely an optimized version of an existing flagship chip. If it's an optimized version of the 9010, its actual performance may approach that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, sufficient for daily applications and gaming needs.

However, the most significant upgrade for the Pocket3 may be its imaging system. The Pocket2's leading position in the market was secured by its hyperspectral camera and hyperspectral AI fusion sensing algorithm. The Pocket3 is expected to further enhance the performance of its main and ultrawide cameras. While the inclusion of a 5x optical zoom periscope telephoto lens remains uncertain, its addition would likely solidify the Pocket3's position as the year's top small foldable phone in terms of imaging capabilities.

Considering the Pocket2 captured nearly 50% of the small foldable phone market share in 2024, the Pocket3's performance is highly anticipated.

Huawei Band 10: Further Enhancements in Health Monitoring?

Huawei's Band series is one of Huawei's best-selling wearable devices; despite its affordable price, it boasts excellent market performance. Information about the Huawei Band 10 is currently scarce. However, based on the upgrades seen from generations 8 and 9, the Huawei Band 10 might focus on completing health monitoring functionalities, for instance, by employing more precise detection algorithms and sensors. Some also anticipate a major upgrade, such as a larger screen to improve user experience and bring it closer to a smartwatch, aligning with current trends in the Android fitness tracker market. Considering the popularity of large-screen fitness trackers, the release of a Huawei Band X would not be surprising.

MateBook X Pro 2025: A New Upgrade for the Business Flagship

The MateBook X Pro 2025 is expected in 2025, likely featuring Intel's Core Ultra 200V series processor. Compared to its predecessor, the new processor offers significant improvements in power efficiency, with a projected battery life increase of over 50%. For a laptop targeting the business market, this will represent a significant upgrade in user experience.

Information regarding the design is currently limited, but it's expected to maintain the predecessor's design without major changes. The previous generation already achieved excellence in thinness, weight, and texture, leaving potential optimizations limited to areas such as heat dissipation and feel.

Full Native HarmonyOS Compatibility: A Major Leap for Huawei's Ecosystem

While the native HarmonyOS was released last year, it's currently in the adaptation phase. On the one hand, the system is undergoing continuous optimization; on the other, the app ecosystem is still under development, making large-scale distribution unsuitable. With the surge in native HarmonyOS adaptation in the second half of 2024, the system now supports most commonly used apps, addressing the usability concerns of average users. The next step is complete adaptation.

At the Mate brand summit, Huawei's executive director, Yu Chengdong, announced that all new Huawei phones and tablets released next year will be equipped with HarmonyOS NEXT (native HarmonyOS). This means the Pocket3 is likely to be the first new Huawei device to come pre-installed with native HarmonyOS, followed by the Pura 80 series and Nova 14 and 15 series. By the first half of 2025, Huawei aims to cover the mid-to-high-end market with native HarmonyOS, including the foldable phone market.

In recent months, HarmonyOS NEXT has frequently released new feature adaptations and native applications. In addition to national-level apps like "Honor of Kings" and "WeChat," WeChat now supports a full-featured CallKit, making WeChat calls feel identical to regular phone calls one of the most anticipated updates. Furthermore, HarmonyOS NEXT has been intensively deploying AI applications in recent months, with the orderly promotion of various aspects of the ecosystem, from imaging systems to AI interconnectivity, indicating that the native HarmonyOS ecosystem is expanding into all facets of users' lives at a visible speed. We expect to see the full explosion of native HarmonyOS in 2025.

Stirring Up the Mid-Range Market Again: The nova 14 and 15 Series Poised to Launch

The nova series was once one of Huawei's hottest phone series, single-handedly supporting Huawei's entire mid-range market and deeply loved by young people. Last year, the nova 13 series officially returned to the Kirin system, marking the series' full comeback and quickly putting other phone manufacturers on alert. In response to the nova series' challenge, the update frequency of mid-range phones from various manufacturers accelerated significantly in the fourth quarter of 2024, attempting to curb the nova series' momentum through frequent new releases.

The launch of the nova 13 series coincided with the early release of Android flagships, resulting in lower-than-expected market discussion, but sales were still strong, breaking the first-day sales record in the 2024 RMB 2000-4000 price range.

The strong sales of the nova series have prompted Huawei to accelerate its return to the mid-range market. According to leaks, Huawei will release two phones in 2025: the nova 14 series and the nova 15 series. The nova 14 series is likely to be released in the first half of the year, possibly even in the first quarter alongside the Pocket3, though I personally believe April is more likely, as this would be six months after the nova 13 series launch, giving the previous generation ample time for clearance. The nova 15 series is expected to be postponed to the fourth quarter to capture the end-of-year Double Eleven and Spring Festival sales.

The acceleration of the nova series will undoubtedly bring about a new round of fierce competition in the mid-range phone market. Given that brands like Redmi and iQOO have recently expressed their intention to launch even better products this year, it's clear that manufacturers are prepared for this.

Conclusion: Huawei's 2025 Spring Launch Event A New Overture for the Tech Industry

From the iteration of classic products like the Pocket3 and MateBook to the full adoption of native HarmonyOS, it is foreseeable that with the further maturity of new technologies and ecosystems, Huawei is consolidating its position in the high-end market and is about to unleash a new storm in the mid-range market. This event, hailed as the "Technology Spring Festival Gala," may well usher in a new chapter for the technology industry in 2025.
