On September 2, 2026, Huawei held a global launch event in Munich, Germany, unveiling nine products in total, including the new "nova 16s" smartphone series, the "MatePad Pro 12" tablet, and the "WATCH GT 7" smartwatch series[1]. The lineup also added a blood-pressure-capable smartwatch model and a slim pair of wireless earbuds, marking a substantial expansion of the company's overseas product range[1][2].

Smartphones: The nova 16s Series

The new smartphones are the "nova 16s Pro" and "nova 16s." The nova series has traditionally been known as a camera-focused mid-range line, and both new models continue that positioning. The higher-end nova 16s Pro features a 6.84-inch display and a Kirin 9010s chipset, starting at 749 EUR (about 134,000 yen)[2]. The more affordable nova 16s uses the same 6.84-inch display but keeps costs down with a Kirin 8020 chipset, starting at 599 EUR (about 107,000 yen)[2].

Tablet: MatePad Pro 12

The new tablet, the "MatePad Pro 12" (2026 edition), pairs a 12-inch display with a large 10,400mAh battery. Priced from 1,199 EUR (about 215,000 yen), it is well suited to long sessions of video watching or document work[2].

Smartwatches: Five Models at Once

Huawei rolled out a total of five smartwatch models. The flagship "WATCH GT 7 Pro" comes in a 46mm case priced at 429 EUR (about 77,000 yen), while the standard "WATCH GT 7" is offered in 46mm and 41mm sizes starting at 299 EUR (about 54,000 yen)[2]. The business-oriented "WATCH 6 Pro" (46mm/43mm, 679 EUR, about 122,000 yen) and "WATCH 6" were also introduced, alongside the "WATCH D3," which adds blood-pressure monitoring for 459 EUR (about 82,000 yen)[2]. Wrist-worn devices capable of blood-pressure measurement remain relatively rare, making this model one to watch for health-conscious users.

Earbuds: FreeBuds Neo

The new "FreeBuds Neo" earbuds arrive at 129 EUR (about 23,000 yen)[2]. Detailed specifications remain limited for now, but the model is positioned as the newest addition to the existing FreeBuds lineup.

Summary

The nine products Huawei showed off this time span smartphones, a tablet, smartwatches, and earbuds, underscoring the company's continued presence in overseas markets[1]. Some models have reportedly been confirmed to carry Japan's technical compliance (Giteki) mark[2], raising the question of whether these devices will eventually reach the Japanese market. No Japan launch timing or pricing has been announced yet, so further updates are worth watching.
