The Huawei Mate S smart phone, the new flagship device in Huawei’s Mate series of mobile products, was introduced to the Saudi market recently.

“Its ergonomic design and innovative technology deliver a premium Android experience that surpasses industry expectations once again,” Alex Jiang Boya, device manager of Huawei, told Arab News.

He added that the company's goal in designing the Huawei Mate S was to develop a smart phone that offers a personalized experience, rather than a commoditized one.

“The Huawei Mate S is based on insights we gathered about human interaction – most notably that touch is a natural action we take to understand and interact with our world. The Huawei Mate S redefines how we incorporate touch technology into our smart phones, taking a revolutionary approach to touch screen control and ushering in a new era for human-machine interaction,” he said.

With the Huawei Mate S, Huawei has re-imagined how people interact with their devices, adding innovative touch features that enhance ease of use, functionality and creativity. On the Mate S, every touch provides an opportunity to do more.

Fingerprint Sense 2.0 is an upgraded version of the Huawei Mate 7’s advanced chip level security and single-tap unlock technology.

Fingerprint Sense 2.0 is faster, more sensitive and has more accurate self-learning functions to improve recognition speeds by 100 percent.

However, in the Mate S, the fingerprint sensor does much more than unlocking the phone or securing payment applications. Users can now control notifications, scroll through photos, take selfies, answer phone calls and even dismiss an alarm quickly.

Knuckle Sense 2.0 advances the Knuckle Sense technology first introduced in the Huawei P8.

The professional camera mode allows manual adjustment for ISO, exposure compensation, exposure time, white balance and focusing and functions such as the grid, and flash-assisted focusing.
