According to the Securities Times, the signing ceremony of the Huawei-Tsinghua New Energy Smart Networked Vehicles Cooperation was successfully held recently. The event was presided over by Li Shengbo, Deputy Dean of School of Vehicle and Transportation, Tsinghua University. At the event, the two parties signed three long-term scientific research cooperation agreements on cooperation in the field of new energy intelligent connected vehicles.
Li Jun, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Dean of the New Technology Concept Automotive Research Institute of Tsinghua University, Li Keqiang, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Director of the State Key Laboratory of Automotive Safety and Energy of Tsinghua University, Chang Sheng, Director of Huawei Beijing Research Institute, Huawei Fellow, Smart Car Solutions Wan Lei, Minister of BU Policy and Standards and Patent Department, and Li Jianqiu, Dean of School of Vehicles and Transportation of Tsinghua University, attended the ceremony.
Dean Li Jianqiu said that the School of Vehicle and Transportation attaches great importance to the cooperation with Huawei. In recent years, Tsinghua University and Huawei have continuously deepened cooperation in the field of talent training and technological innovation.
Huawei does not build cars, but cooperates with other car companies to customize car solutions. For example, Huawei’s intelligent network connection solution can help urban road planning and traffic management through road digitization, and optimize traffic operation and management efficiency. Accelerate the realization of autonomous driving technology, drive the new four modernizations of the automobile industry, and restructure the automobile industry.
It is reported that Huawei’s intelligent network connection solution focuses on the construction of a collaborative end-to-end solution for the city’s “vehicle, road, cloud and network map”, and builds a “holographic perception, global connection, The intelligent networked solution of “global intelligence, cloud-side collaboration” highlights the business value of “smart cars, smart roads, and innovative cities”, and realizes the end-to-end overall scenario design, which uses standard technology to advance with the industry. Mixed traffic, allowing networked services to benefit the general public.
It is worth mentioning that during the 2021 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference in September this year, the Equipment Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony. Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Xu Zhijun, Huawei Rotating Chairman, Qu Guochun, Director of the Equipment Center, and Wang Jun, Chief Operating Officer of Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU, attended the ceremony.
Tipster Digital Chat Station has confirmed that the Chinese tech giant Huawei will release new phones called the Mate 80 series in November. These new phones will have better designs, cameras, and speed.
The company is expected to compete with Apple’s new iPhone 17 phones. Huawei will make four different Mate 80 phones: the regular Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro+, and Mate 80 RS. Each phone will have different cameras. The regular Mate 80 will have a 50-megapixel camera.
The Pro version will have a bigger 50-megapixel camera. The Pro+ and RS models will have even bigger 50-megapixel cameras.
The Pro model might have a flat screen and face recognition. The Pro+ and RS models might have curved screens that bend more.
The best phone, the Mate 80 RS, might have a 6.9-inch screen with special technology.
This screen should be brighter, use less battery power, and last longer than normal phone screens. Huawei might also use strong titanium metal for the frame and special glass on the back. Inside the phones, there will be a new chip called the Kirin 9030. The battery might be bigger than 6000mAh and charge very fast – 100W with a wire and 80W without wires. The phones might work with 5G internet and satellite communication.
The phones will use Huawei’s own software called HarmonyOS. This might work better with other Huawei devices and have more AI features. Some people think these improvements will help Huawei compete better with Apple, especially in battery life, communication, and smart features.
A Chinese company called HiSilicon Semiconductor just changed who’s in charge. The old boss, Xu Zhijun, stepped down from his job as the legal representative and chairman. Now the company’s CEO, Gao Ji, is taking over these roles.
Xu has been working at Huawei since 1993 and still has other important jobs there – he’s a vice chairman and sometimes serves as the rotating chairman. Him leaving this position is probably just Huawei moving people around to different jobs within the company.
HiSilicon is completely owned by Huawei and makes computer chips. This change in leadership might mean Huawei is trying to make things work better.
HiSilicon started in October 2004 when Huawei took its computer chip design team and turned it into its own company. The main office is in Shenzhen, but they also have offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities in China.
HUAWEI has introduced the all-new MatePad Mini tablet, in China. As per the specifications, the device is 5.1mm thin, weighs 255g, and boasts an 8.8″ 2.5K 120Hz OLED screen with 2.99mm narrow bezels.

It also features a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera with macro mode, along with a single 32MP front-facing camera. These are paired with AI photo editing features. Like other HUAWEI phones, the chipset hasn’t been revealed, but it is most likely powered by HUAWEI’s own Kirin 9010 SoC, based on earlier reports.
