The panels utilize Honghu color technology for 1.07 billion colors and AI light sensing to optimize contrast. Furthermore, AI-powered upscaling can transform 1080P content into 4K resolution.
Design and User Interaction
Huawei has prioritized a sleek aesthetic with a 99% screen-to-body ratio and a slim profile, measuring just 36.9mm thick. The unibody metal construction and an optional ultra-thin wall mount allow for a near-flush installation with the wall, just 5mm away, while a hidden cable management system keeps the setup tidy.
Interaction is designed to be intuitive, mimicking smartphone usability. Features like the Lingxi adaptive touch and optional Lingxi stylus enable advanced control, including mobile gaming and on-screen drawing, directly on the large display.
HarmonyOS Ecosystem and Audio
Leveraging the HarmonyOS ecosystem, the Mate TV 2 series provides access to a vast array of apps spanning daily utilities, gaming, entertainment, and education. Users can seamlessly run mobile apps on the big screen, enhancing experiences like casual gaming and content browsing.
Audio is delivered through HUAWEI SOUND, featuring a 2.2 spatial audio system with a 130W total output. The system includes Hi-Fi grade tweeters, self-developed mica fiber mid-range drivers, and powerful woofers capable of reaching 22Hz. For an even more immersive experience, the TV can be paired with Huawei’s Yuezhang home theater or ceiling speakers to create a 13.3.4 channel surround sound field.
Smart Connectivity
The smart connectivity features are a cornerstone of the HarmonyOS experience. Users can enjoy seamless bidirectional app migration between their phone, tablet, and Huawei computer. Features like air-based app sharing and 4K super screen casting are supported. The TV also acts as a central hub for the Huawei Smart Home, offering a 3D control panel for managing all connected smart devices.
Huawei Smart Screen Mate TV 2 Pro Enhancements
The Pro version builds upon the standard Mate TV 2, offering upgraded specifications. While also powered by the Kirin T92 chip and HarmonyOS 7, it boasts a peak brightness of 5000 nits and comes standard with LR 0.5% low reflection for reduced glare. A standout feature is the ability to convert 2D videos into 3D using real-time foreground/background separation and 3D rendering, delivering a true 3D cinema experience at home.
Audio output is also enhanced in the Pro model, with power increased to 180W and the spatial audio configuration upgraded to 3.2.2. The Mate TV 2 Pro further steps up with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and the top-tier audio system pushes to 240W.
Huawei Smart Screen S7 RGB Launched
In addition to the Mate TV 2 series, Huawei also introduced the Smart Screen S7 RGB, priced from 3999 yuan. This model features new RGB-Mini LED display technology with a self-developed light and color co-control chip, supporting Honghu image quality. It achieves 105% BT.2020 color gamut coverage, a 66% increase over traditional MiniLEDs, and high color accuracy.
The S7 RGB uses independent red, green, and blue light emission with super-focus lenses to reduce halo effects and ensure purer colors. The screen supports 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate (with 300Hz high refresh rate via frequency doubling when connected to PCs or consoles), and runs HarmonyOS 4.3 with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage. Audio configurations vary by screen size, with up to 2.0 channels and HUAWEI Histen sound effects.
