Window to the world. Huawei smart screens appeared in Russia: how can they surprise?
In 2021, Huawei is opening up new categories of devices, confidently establishing itself in the smartphone and laptop market. Smart displays have become an unexpected direction, where the company is trying not just to release another device under its brand, but to reinvent the direction. Read about what is so unusual about the new Huawei Vision S in the Lenta.ru article.
Huawei calls the Vision S smart screens, not TVs. Because the word “TV” is associated with only one task - viewing content and broadcast channels. Here, for example, there is no TV tuner and you cannot connect an antenna cable to it. However, in 2021 there are many ways to watch TV without a white cable sticking out of the wall, and all TV channels are available digitally, and services are installed out of the box that allow you to watch channels for free.
The second reason is the built-in 13 megapixel webcam with FullHD resolution. That is, Vision S can be used for video communication via the MeeTime application for users of other Huawei devices. In addition, you can call via Telegram. The camera has an adjustable tilt angle, so it doesn’t matter whether the smart screen is on a low cabinet or hanging on the wall - the image can be adjusted to any position. If the camera is not needed, it can be easily removed.

In addition to built-in content viewing services, Vision S can duplicate an image from a smartphone, and this happens in an unusual way. In order to start the broadcast, you need to bring your smartphone to the Vision S control panel. You can also transfer images, music, videos or other files using Huawei Share. And you can control the screen using the smartphone itself with the Mirror Control function.
And the last thing that distinguishes Vision S from a simple TV is integration with a smart home. The device was originally developed as a control center for smart devices and for working with gadgets.
Vision S runs on the Harmony OS 2.0 operating system, and this is the first device in Russia on Huawei’s own OS. Due to this, the screen works quickly and without lag, and also supports many functions that are not found on conventional TVs. The AppGallery application store is also available here, with which you can install all the necessary services.
In addition, Huawei has integrated Sber services and Salyut virtual assistants, which complement the functions of the screen. So, on the Vision S you can easily launch YouTube and make video calls via Telegram, and it will also be possible to organize conferences for 100 people in the company’s upcoming service.
With firmware from Sber, the user gets access to the Okko online cinema and other ecosystem services. All this is integrated with Salut voice assistants, which can search for content throughout the system, play music through SberZvuk, order groceries through Samokat, or display step-by-step recipes from the SuperChef application. Another application store is also available here, from Sber itself, SmartMarket, to which thousands of developers are connected.
Huawei Vision S is available in two versions - 55 and 65 inches. Both versions do not differ in characteristics; they have a VA matrix with 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The screen covers 92 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and is TÜV Rheinland certified for low blue light and flicker. This all reduces eye strain when viewing. The smart display is also equipped with a quad-core processor and a quad-core graphics chip, three gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigabytes of internal memory.

Honghu's proprietary Picture Engine technology, combined with analysis function, motion compensation and graphics fine-tuning technology, ensures highly smooth playback of dynamic scenes. And each model undergoes image calibration at the production stage.
The audio system is represented by four proprietary 10-watt speakers: two wideband and two high-frequency. There is support for surround sound virtualization, so the screen is perfect for both watching movies and playing games. Moreover, the system independently determines the type of content and changes the image settings, setting the ideal settings for different conditions.

The cost of the devices is 59,990 rubles for the 55-inch version and 89,990 rubles for the 65-inch version.
