The history of the P series is the history of mobile imaging. On the 12th anniversary of the birth of the P series, Huawei, with a deep understanding and future planning for mobile imaging, sets off once again.

From the emergence of the concept of mobile imaging to its gradual growth, becoming the main way for millions of users to record life, Huawei has always played a crucial role as a leader.

Today, as the industry is caught up in a frenzy of piling up hardware, competing on image quality, and bundling traditional imaging brand styles, we clearly see that homogenized hardware stacking and algorithm optimization cannot truly widen the gap in imaging strength among brands. More importantly, specific imaging styles have become difficult to meet consumers' personalized needs.

From a higher perspective, contemplating the future direction of mobile imaging is not only Huawei's responsibility as a leader but also its mission.

With the advancement and development of mobile imaging technology industry, major smartphone brands have discovered that the traditional technology and experience in the imaging industry are no longer sufficient to meet the demands for further breakthroughs in new era imaging technology. Therefore, Huawei took the lead and officially launched a brand-new mobile imaging brand - Huawei Imaging XMAGE in July 2022.

The birth of XMAGE not only signifies Huawei's leadership and maturity in mobile imaging but also represents continuous breakthroughs and commitments. XMAGE marks a milestone moment in the branding of mobile imaging, establishing a technological paradigm for future mobile imaging from the dimensions of optics, mechanics, electronics, and algorithms, staying ahead of the curve. Furthermore, XMAGE delves deeper into the emotional aspect of mobile photography, encouraging users to capture the beauty and joy of life with their phones, expressing fleeting yet precious emotions. S4dfe6b0f-a1d1-401e-9179-72afb175fe35.jpg XMAGE advocates using images to showcase the warmth of life, the beauty of humanity, and the power of positivity. These pure, universal emotions and values form a common visual culture worldwide. Through global image competitions, exhibitions, community events, and more, Huawei spreads the power of images, fostering cultural exchanges and creating a global impact.

Recognition from users worldwide proves that Huawei continuously enhances its multidimensional technical capabilities, refining its unique visual style over the long term. By grasping strength and building capacity, Huawei follows its own path, which is the right direction.

Now, XMAGE's "Power of Images" undergoes a new upgrade, evolving from optics, machinery, electronics, and algorithms to software, hardware, core, and cloud. With cutting-edge image technology and experiences, it sparks consumers' imagination, creativity, and appreciation, allowing each image to convey a sense of power beyond the surface. This evolution solidifies XMAGE as Huawei's accumulated image expertise, establishing a new era in mobile imaging. S300b4e4e-5619-4f9f-ac83-eee0ba4eadb1.jpg At the end

If technological innovation and ultimate experience are the foundation for Huawei's XMAGE imaging to drive the development of mobile imaging, then the establishment of a high-end imaging culture is the catalyst.

Shifting focus from product performance to user needs, Huawei has begun to emphasize the humanistic aspect of mobile imaging, striving to enhance the cultural value attraction of imaging. In 2024, Huawei initiated its first global imaging tour exhibition. Following Dubai and Berlin, outstanding Huawei imaging works will tour in Kuala Lumpur, Mexico City, Shanghai, and other locations. This is Huawei's largest-scale imaging exhibition in history, aimed at allowing more people to see, feel, and convey the power of imagery.
