[CNMO Tech News] In the realm of large screens, Huawei Smart Screen has consistently led the entire TV industry in innovative smart experiences. On April 9th, the new Huawei Smart Screen S5 made its debut, boasting comprehensive upgrades compared to its predecessor. Not only has there been significant improvements in appearance, performance, and audiovisuals, but it also introduces brand-new HarmonyOS smart features such as 4K super casting, super entertainment, and seamless connectivity for the whole family, addressing the core pain point of needing separate memberships for high-definition casting even when you're already a member on your phone.
With the advancement of technology, televisions are no longer limited to live broadcasts. Casting various popular TV dramas and variety shows is now common, allowing viewers to enjoy more exciting videos at any time. It is precisely because of this that casting functionality is becoming increasingly popular among young people. However, the casting methods used in the past were not without limitations. In order to encourage users to subscribe to TV memberships, many video platforms would restrict casting to a maximum resolution of 720P, and viewers were unable to see the barrage of comments while casting, which deprived many users of the joy of watching dramas and chasing variety shows. Previously, iQiyi had sparked controversy over this practice, leading to discussions among netizens about the necessity of subscribing to TV memberships. Now, Huawei Smart Screen S5 has addressed this pain point.
The Huawei Smart Screen S5 features 4K super casting, which provides an ultra-clear, ultra-fast, ultra-stable, and ultra-smooth casting experience. According to reports, the usage rate of 4K casting in the industry was less than 10% in the past, mainly due to the cumbersome operation of 4K casting. Not only did users need to download specified apps on large screens, but they also had to open the corresponding app before casting, and manually switch the resolution after casting, which discouraged many young people due to the complexity of the operation process.
The Huawei Smart Screen S5, through deep customization collaboration with content providers, seamlessly matches 4K content for streaming from platforms like Bilibili, Youku, and Tencent Video, solving the pain point of limited screen resolution when casting, ensuring high-definition content is displayed without degradation. Users no longer have to settle for watching videos or movies on their phones due to the frustration of blurry images on the big screen caused by platform restrictions. Huawei will continue to partner with more video platforms in the future, allowing consumers to enjoy watching TV shows without the hassle of paying for multiple memberships.
Smooth and uninterrupted streaming while casting videos is the basic requirement for users, yet it's often not guaranteed. The Huawei Smart Screen S5 employs multiple patented technologies to achieve a screen refresh rate close to 60 FPS (For reference: competitors' casting frame rates are capped at 30 FPS). Furthermore, through optimization of the underlying transmission efficiency, the Huawei Smart Screen ensures up to 3 hours of uninterrupted viewing, with outstanding audiovisual synchronization, providing a silky-smooth experience akin to using native software. It also supports bullet screen casting, allowing users to enjoy the thrill of watching while interacting with others through comments, enhancing the joy of big-screen viewing. It can maintain casting without dropping for up to 3 hours straight, and even works quickly for casting in the absence of a network connection. With its ultra-clear, ultra-fast, ultra-stable, and ultra-smooth casting capabilities, the Huawei Smart Screen S5 delivers the best casting experience in its class, truly deserving the title of the "casting" champion.
In addition, Huawei's Smart Screen S5 makes screen casting extremely convenient. Simply tap the Huawei Share icon on the remote control with your Huawei phone, and you can start casting. There's no need to be on the same Wi-Fi network or go through a pairing process, greatly reducing the complexity of screen casting. Gone are the days when the elderly had to jot down operating steps with a laptop just to watch TV; now, the operation is simple and accessible to everyone in the family.
Beyond the excellent casting experience, achieving an outstanding viewing experience also requires the TV to deliver top-notch picture quality. In this regard, Huawei's Smart Screen S5 is equipped with the self-developed Honghu Picture Quality Technology, which comprehensively enhances color reproduction, contrast, clarity, smoothness, and eye protection across five dimensions.
The Huawei Smart Screen S5 features a screen that supports 100% BT.709 color gamut, displaying a smooth transition of 1.07 billion colors without any breaks or noise. Its Vivid Color Display technology fully utilizes the wide color gamut screen, delivering superior color performance compared to traditional TVs. Watching live streams at home feels just like being on-site, with all sorts of stage lighting vividly reproduced without the need for any filters that might affect the viewing experience.
Furthermore, the Huawei Smart Screen S5 supports 120Hz intelligent frame interpolation technology and up to 144Hz frequency doubling technology, eliminating motion blur from low frame rate sources and ensuring clear, high-definition motion. This means no more ghosting issues when watching various racing competitions at home, with the picture displaying dynamic motion seamlessly.
As the entertainment hub for the whole family, the Huawei Smart Screen S5 offers a diverse range of smart entertainment experiences. Equipped with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a 115° wide-angle range, it delivers crisp 1080P clarity during video calls, bringing distant family and friends closer together for virtual gatherings at home.
Moreover, the AI camera is equipped with an AI visual chip that accurately identifies human body joints, enabling posture and distance reminders. During AI fitness sessions, the Huawei Smart Screen S5 intelligently corrects exercise postures, providing the whole family with scientific guidance for workouts, akin to having a personal fitness trainer at home. In child mode, it automatically activates child posture/distance detection, pausing videos or using other methods to correct posture issues when detecting problems with the child's posture, freeing parents from childcare responsibilities and truly realizing smart, scientific parenting.
In summary, with the self-developed Honghu 868 chipset and the support of the HarmonyOS ecosystem, the Huawei Smart Screen S5 caters to various entertainment needs of all ages in the family through scenarios such as home theater, home fitness, home karaoke, and home gaming. It truly transforms the television into the intelligent entertainment center of the living room. The new product is now available for pre-sale starting April 9th, with prices starting at 3699 CNY and up to a maximum discount of 500 CNY for a limited time. Interested friends can experience it in offline stores.
