Huawei Mate 70 Series Introduces “AI Airdrop Gesture”
Huawei introduced new technology. Now, files or pictures can be transferred with hand motions. Grab and release, and the file is transferred.
Huawei’s Mate 70 Series can transfer content from one device to another using hand gestures. The series, unveiled at an event in the company’s hometown of Shenzhen, includes three phones: the base Mate 70, the Mate 70 Pro, and the Mate 70 Pro Plus.
A video on Huawei’s Chinese-language website shows a mother transferring content from her phone to her son’s tablet using simple hand gestures. The mother positions her palm in front of her Mate 70’s screen, where there’s an image of a dinosaur cartoon displayed. Then she clenches her fist as if to grab or catch the image of the dinosaur. She walks over to her son, who’s using a Huawei tablet, and unclenches her fist in front of the tablet to transfer it into that device.
Shoppers at Huawei stores posted videos on social media of the Mate X6 Tab testing the feature doing similar gestures. This feature is supported by cameras and sensors under the screen.
Mate 70 Pro Plus features
Apart from offering support for advanced hand gestures, the Mate 70 Pro Plus has many of the specs you’d expect from a premium phone. There are three cameras on its rear complete with a telephoto camera capable of 4x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. It also has a large 5,700 mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging and 80W wireless charging.
The flagship Mate 70 Pro Plus also has some high-end bells and whistles, notably its AI-based productivity and communication features. These include AI-generated summaries of recordings and memos, real-time translation, and noise reduction during phone calls.
It has durability ratings of IP68 and IP69 for water and dust resistance. And its satellite communication, via its Tiantong and Beidou satellites, lets you make calls and send messages even when you have no signal.
Huawei Phones have good features but without Google Play services they are limited to the Chinese market only.
