Huawei announced an expansive list of devices for the Asia-Pacific region. Leading the charge is its latest wearable flagship, the Huawei Watch 3 — the first in the Watch series to sport HarmonyOS.

It promises new, high-end technology features while maintaining the same sleek-looking health and fitness companion as its predecessors.

Connected at all times

The Huawei Watch 3 sports an eSim technology. This means you can connect your mobile number from your current network subscription, without the need for a SIM ejector tool.

With this technology, you can now receive calls, messages, and access your apps on your wrist without your smartphone. You can also conduct MeeTime calls and connect select apps to your smartwatch.

The smartwatch also focused on user convenience, introducing an interactive grid launcher and watch phases, accentuated by a smooth UX animation.

Stay on top of your health

Like its predecessors, the Huawei Watch 3 packs over more than a hundred workouts. Also, it has a dedicated sports mode to support you in your physical activities.

Other health-focused technologies include a skin temperature sensor, all-day blood oxygen tracking, stress monitoring, and even handwashing detection for overall health tracking.

From three days to two weeks

Huawei is known for its long-lasting battery life among its roster of devices. Needless to say, the Huawei Watch 3 is equipped with the company’s signature feature.

The smartwatch can last up to three days in 4G mode and even with eSim activated, and can last up to two weeks when you switch to Super-Saving mode.

Price and availability

The Huawei Watch 3 is certainly a premium smartwatch blending connectivity, health management, and productivity in a stylish package. It retails for PhP 18,999 and will be available for pre-order until July 15 on online channels such as Huawei Store, and authorized platforms like Lazada and Shopee. It will also be up on offline channels like the Huawei Experience Stores and authorized retail stores — and it will come with a free Huawei Band 4 worth PhP 1,890.

Pulse Elevate

PlayStation is expanding its audio lineup with the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, its first wireless speakers developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The speakers will launch in Southeast Asia starting November 12, 2026, with pre-orders opening September 2.

The Pulse Elevate speakers are designed for desktop gaming on PS5, PC, and Mac, while also supporting portable use with the PlayStation Portal remote player and smartphones. They combine planar magnetic drivers, built-in woofers, and PlayStation Link wireless connectivity for low-latency, lossless audio.

Each speaker uses a studio-inspired planar magnetic driver to deliver sound across the audible spectrum. Built-in woofers add richer bass, while the speakers can enhance positional audio in PS5 games that support Tempest 3D AudioTech.

The right speaker also has a built-in microphone with AI-enhanced noise rejection. This allows users to handle voice chat without wearing a headset while helping filter out unwanted background noise.

Designed for gaming and beyond

Pulse Elevate uses PlayStation Link for ultra-low-latency wireless audio with compatible devices, including the PS5, PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal. The speakers also support Bluetooth, allowing users to listen to audio from a Bluetooth device while using PlayStation Link for another connected device.

A PlayStation Link USB adapter is included and works with USB-C ports. The speakers also feature built-in rechargeable batteries, letting users take them on the go. Charging docks are included for returning to a desktop setup.

Users can adjust the speakers’ volume directly and position them horizontally or vertically. PS5 and PC users can also customize EQ, sidetone, volume, and microphone mute settings through system menus.

Pulse Elevate will be available in Midnight Black and White.

Price and availability

Pulse Elevate wireless speakers will launch starting November 12, 2026. Pre-orders begin September 2 at local retailers. Availability may vary by market and retailer.

The recommended retail prices are:

  • Singapore: SGD 319
  • Malaysia: MYR 1,099
  • Thailand: THB 8,499
  • Philippines: PHP 14,709
  • Vietnam: VND 6,999,000
