Huawei Health Lab officially opens, will research and develop technologies in sports and health fields
Today, Huawei has established the Huawei Health lab in Xi’an China, which was announced at Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2020. In this lab, Huawei researchers, engineers, and developers work jointly and to create new health technology that brings a scientific and conductive experience through their smart wearables.
Smart wearables are tiny gadgets, but they bear big thoughts that guide consumers to a more scientific workout experience and a healthier life, said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer BusinessGroup (BG).
Huawei’s smart wearables are among the most popular devices on the market, and as a response to consumers’ trust and loyalty, Huawei is committed to innovate and enhance R&D capabilities in order to advance in the health technology market.
This year, Huawei has launched seven smart wearables including Huawei Watch GT 2, Watch GT 2 Pro and Watch fit with professional fitness and health tracking function and also Huawei’s wrist wearables ranked no.1 in the Q2 of 2020.
“In the HUAWEI Health Lab, research equipment is not the only important element, but also researchers and their innovative research solutions,” said Rico Zhang, President of Smart Wearable and Health Product Line in Huawei Consumer BusinessGroup (BG).
The HUAWEI Health Lab was built to further enhance research capabilities for their smart wearables. Over 40 researchers, developers, and testers work together closely in the HUAWEI Health Lab, actualizing their passion for an active and healthy lifestyle from a wide range of specialized equipment and innovative research methods.
Research and Development tests:
During the development phase of HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 Pro’s Golf Driving Range Mode, engineers used the indoor golf simulation device to collect more than 2,500 sets of professional data from 20,000 swings. These algorithms were later tuned and tweaked to ensure that this model provides consumers with the best possible experience.
In order to accurately capture health data such as maximum oxygen uptake, running posture, heart rate, and calories burnt when running, researchers at HUAWEI Health Lab designed a core data collection system by including tools such as a foot pressure treadmill, cardio-metabolic mask, heart rate belt, optical gesture capture system and professional treadmill.
In 2020 alone, Huawei researchers collected 10,900 hours of running data and a running mileage of around 105,000 kilometers. This data is continuously verified and optimized by data algorithms based on the actual physique of people when they are running, and eventually applied to Huawei’s wearable products.
“In the future, Huawei will continue to increase the investment in the field of sports and health, and build another sports health laboratory in Songshan Lake, Dongguan which will collaborate closely with more than 10 of Huawei’s global science institutes, sharing R&D resources with the aim of building an innovative, industry-leading, and open Huawei sports health ecosystem. We also aim to provide consumers easy to use, professional and accurate health and fitness products,” said Rico Zhang.

Huawei has finalized the design of the P60 series and the flagship could appear at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 at the earliest, which is piece of amazing news.
Input coming from different Weibo tipsters suggests that Huawei has confirmed the design of the Huawei P60 series. It is the first camera module that has a giant ring in the middle followed by a camera on the top and a periscope camera placed on the bottom side.
These tipsters have seen the test model, and the company is likely to keep the below-featured camera system, unlike the one that surfaced recently. The camera bump is rectangular and houses all of the sensors inside, making it a hybrid version of P50 and P40 devices.
MWC 2023:
Another tipster suggested that the Huawei P60 series revealing could occur at MWC 2023, which will be a surprise. However, the tipster insists that it could be the earliest launch attempt that the Chinese tech maker may choose to go with.
MWC Barcelona is an annual event and 2023’s conference will start from February 27, 2023, to March 2, 2023. So, the company could book the last week of this month to open the launch or by early in March.
At MWC 23, Honor will also participate in the launch of its new foldable device. This leads us to a prediction that, Huawei Mate X3 is also ready to enter among consumers and it would make sense, as this new foldable device is ready to raise the curtain.
Past information:
Huawei P60 series could be the most powerful camera smartphone, as it will feature a large sensor to boast better light. Also, it will debut variable aperture in the P series, which is another advantage for this flagship family.
For now, Huawei has not made an official announcement about the launch date. However, there is more information that will appear to amaze us.
ChatGPT is a raging storm on the internet and everyone is talking about this AI-powered instant reply software but Huawei says, it has long mastered such technology.
A person in charge of Huawei’s computing product section said that Huawei began to have a layout in the large model in 2020. In the following year, Huawei launched Pengcheng Pangu, which is a super-large model and the first of its kind in the industry.
This model can generate 100 billion levels of processes and can generate responses or understand Chinese natural language processing as well as speech recognition.
To be mentioned, Pangu NLP large model was the world’s largest Chinese language pre-training model with 100 billion parameters at that time. The sample tuning of the data improves the application performance of the model in the scenario.
Patent:
Recently, two patents have surfaced on China’s intellectual property office, which reveal Huawei’s use of AI in instant reply software. However, we can say that Huawei has already applied a lot of AI software to human conversation technology, which was way ahead of ChatGPT. But Huawei has not revealed any plans to implement such tech in Huawei devices.
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s valuation was estimated at US$29 billion.

After the events of the U.S. ban, Huawei had to reduce its capacity of building new smartphones, which result in low yield and sales, and now, Xiaomi claims that it took over 50 million of Huawei’s users.
During the Xiaomi Investment Day, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group said that Huawei has lost over 80 million smartphone users, of which, Xiaomi took over 50 million.
This is quite a big statement made by the head of the Chinese phone maker as Huawei was forced to leave the market due to the restrictions on manufacturing.
After not meeting the market requirements the share of Huawei’s smartphone market declined severely in both the Chinese and global markets. While other smartphone makers are the ones that got most of the benefits.
From the rest, Apple took over 20 million users and Honor grabbed 10 million, which accounts for an overall 80 million Huawei users.
According to the data revealed by Canalys, the global smartphone market ranked Samsung first and Apple second, which has increased by 22 percent and 19 percent respectively. While Xiaomi declined to 13 percent.
Aside from Apple and Samsung, other smartphone maker has declined. On this matter, Xiaomi’s president said that the decline in his firm is related to various reasons such as currency depreciation, chips from shortage to surplus, and intensified competition, the global mobile phone market will decline by 12% in 2022, of which the Chinese market will decline by 13%.
Why not?
It was an opportunity for all of the smartphone companies with an open opportunity to grab Huawei’s market share and it fell directly into their lap without doing anything.
