On May 26th, Huawei's Terminal BG CTO Li Xiaolong transformed into a "gold medal customer service" to recommend and introduce the indoor positioning feature of Huawei smartphones.

With this feature, even indoors, Huawei phones can provide accurate positioning, and in some buildings, the Amap app can accurately display the user's floor location. s_d8a0704ca25a4b9e8b5c64a61a42287d.jpg A netizen asked Bruce Lee: "Can Nova work? Can Changxiang work?" Bruce Lee replied, "Both Nova and Changxiang are supported. As long as it is EMUI 9.1.1 or later and all HarmonyOS versions, indoor positioning capability is supported on the phone." s_3063814a533548e1915236d6dbf212c7.png

In some domestic shopping malls, high-speed rail stations, airports, and other buildings, by opening map software (currently supporting the Amap app), users can accurately locate their position on the floor and indoor main corridors. s_941c18560abd48aeb7c0dab30f070dcd.png After riding elevators, escalators, and moving between floors, the map can automatically switch floors in real-time without manual intervention. Upon successful indoor high-precision positioning, a gray floating window appears below the location icon, indicating "Current Floor". s_6d5beade74d142d6aea4b253a1c99856.png It is worth mentioning that this year's Huawei Pura 70 series, in conjunction with Huawei Cloud Space, has introduced the first "floor-level device locating" feature, which can accurately pinpoint the floor information of the device.

Once this feature is activated, users can precisely locate their device when they are out shopping, watching movies, dining, or catching a high-speed train/plane in case of accidental loss.

Even if the phone is offline without a network connection, the cloud space can still locate the device's floor position through the "search network" feature.

According to reports, the current "floor-level device locating" feature has covered over 10,000 mainstream cities nationwide, including business districts, airports, train stations, and other high-traffic areas, with plans to further expand coverage in the future. s_387e020e65cc4e28966b6b92aa1c3e08.jpg
