Huawei has officially launched the MateTV, its first smart screen under the Mate line, at a recent tech event. During the announcement, the company demonstrated how users can interact with the device in ways similar to a smartphone, thanks to a range of new features.
The MateTV has a 110-inch display with an ultra-slim, panoramic-window design. It runs HarmonyOS 5 and includes Huawei’s proprietary Vivid chip, along with support for Lingxi floating touch.
Equipped with artificial intelligence capabilities, the MateTV can identify individuals, search for content by context, and connect with other devices in the home. Huawei positions the device as a central hub for smart living.
The device uses AI and multimodal recognition to remember household members’ viewing habits and preferences. With the Celia large model, users can search for content using voice commands, such as quoting a line or describing a scene from a film.
MateTV also supports handwriting interaction through the Lingxi kit, which includes a magnetic snap-on sensor module. When connected, users can annotate slides or allow children to draw directly on the screen.
The Lingxi floating touch system uses 328 sensors to detect finger activity, enabling gesture controls such as window dragging and image zooming.
Huawei says the MateTV includes a self-developed chip that offers six times the single-core performance and ten times the GPU performance of leading industry flagships. The device supports cold starts for large games in two seconds. During the launch, Huawei demonstrated live online gameplay with fluid, high-resolution visuals on the big screen.
On the audiovisual side, algorithms can detect key areas on the screen and selectively enhance them. The MateTV also supports HDR Vivid and Audio Vivid standards to improve contrast, lighting, and sound clarity.
