A Major Milestone in Data Privacy for Huawei
On July 18, 2025, Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Limited was honored with the coveted “Outstanding Gold Award” at the Privacy-Friendly Awards 2025 Presentation Ceremony, organized by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) in Hong Kong. This prestigious recognition represents the highest level of achievement at the ceremony and underscores Huawei’s unwavering dedication to personal data privacy protection and robust data security governance.
The Privacy-Friendly Awards
Established in 2021, the Privacy-Friendly Awards aim to celebrate exemplary efforts of organizations and businesses in implementing sound personal data governance and maintaining high standards in privacy protection. The 2025 event was themed “Safeguarding Data Security: Marching towards a New Digital Era,” highlighting the growing importance of data security in Hong Kong’s journey toward smart city development and digital transformation. A total of 157 organizations competed, with only 12 earning the “Outstanding Gold Award” distinction, which places Huawei among a highly esteemed group of awardees.
Why Huawei Stood Out
Huawei earned this award because they really care about protecting people’s privacy in everything they do. Here are a few ways they stand out:
Strong Privacy System: Huawei has put a lot of thought into making sure privacy is built into every part of their company. They always keep up with the latest rules and best practices for keeping data secure.
Ready for Problems: They’ve set up clear steps for what to do if something goes wrong, like a data breach. The team even runs regular practice drills, so they’re ready to react quickly and keep things under control.
Employee Training: Huawei regularly trains their staff about privacy. This helps everyone stay updated and makes sure that protecting people’s information is part of the company’s everyday culture.
Constant Improvement: They keep putting resources into privacy, whether it’s new tools or better training. As the company grows and new challenges pop up, privacy always stays at the top of their list.
Huawei is getting ready to release a new super-thin phone called the Mate 70 Air. Some details about this phone have already been leaked online, and now a new picture has appeared showing what it looks like.
What the phone looks like
A promotional poster for the Huawei Mate 70 Air was leaked today. The phone looks similar to other phones in Huawei’s Mate 70 family, but it’s much thinner.
The back of the phone has a round camera area with Huawei’s XMAGE camera logo on it. The edges of the phone appear to be shiny and polished. The back cover has a textured surface, similar to another Huawei model called the Mate 70 Pro+.
What’s inside the phone
There isn’t much information available yet, but the Mate 70 Air might be a mid-priced phone. Early reports said it would have 12GB of memory and either 256GB or 512GB of storage space. However, newer information suggests it will actually have 16GB of memory.
The phone is expected to have a large 6.9-inch screen. It will also have a high-quality main camera.
Other features
Unlike Apple’s iPhone Air, the Huawei Mate 70 Air will have a slot for a physical SIM card. The phone will run on Huawei’s HarmonyOS 5.1 software. It will come in three colors: black, white, and gold.
Huawei is expected to launch this phone in November, around the same time as its Mate 80 series.
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.
