RIYADH: Ramadan is a time for family gatherings and appreciating special moments when loved ones gather around iftar and sahoor meals. This year, however, it remains challenging for many to enjoy the holy month with their family and friends.

It is during these unprecedented times that we turn to technology to help us bridge the gap between us and our loved ones, and still celebrate Ramadan with those that matter the most to us — whether through regular calls, video calls, messaging, or other modes of communication.

Huawei recently revealed a series of video commercials in the Kingdom showing how families are coming together to deepen ties during these tough times with the help of technology and more specifically, Huawei’s upcoming next-generation TV — the Huawei Vision S which is expected to launch in Saudi Arabia soon.

These videos highlight how a son cannot make it to an iftar gathering with his family and a little girl who misses her father who has been busy working at the hospital and missed a sahoor meal, while a third video is about how two families come together to share a virtual Ramadan iftar. While these scenarios may occur on a daily basis, they also show how Huawei’s next-generation TV — the Huawei Vision S — is bringing families together, thanks to its unique 1080 p MeeTime Full HD Video Call feature. 

This new feature is supported by a 13 MP camera, which can be magnetically attached or detached for high-quality video calling to make digital communication more intimate and emotionally evocative than ever before. The subtle looks of joy, anticipation and laughter of your loved ones can be captured during a “TV call,” forging closer and more intimate family ties, especially during this Ramadan. Say goodbye to the old days of “Call my phone” and hello to the new era of “Call My TV”!

The new 1080 p MeeTime Full HD Video Call lets you make calls for so long as you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. Thanks to Huawei’s proprietary connectivity technology, the 1080 p MeeTime Full HD Video Call feature delivers impeccable stability and smoothness, high-definition picture quality, and quick response.

This attribute is unique to the Huawei Vision S in the Saudi market and makes it easily earn the title of the next-generation TV. It also enables making and receiving calls on a wide range of devices, including on Huawei Vision S Huawei mobile phones, tablets, and others. You can call a phone directly from your Vision S, or alternatively, call the Huawei Vision S from your phone.

The Huawei Vision S also automatically adjusts to the bandwidth: If the network signal is poor, the built-in AI will automatically switch to a lower video resolution, to ensure the continuity of your video call.

Huawei Vision S takes the rest of its features to the next level with a 4K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, both of which promise high-quality viewing. It is also fitted with four 10W speakers for a rich audio experience. Additionally, with the Huawei Histen algorithm, viewers can expect seamless synergy between hardware and software elements, resulting in exceptional sound quality. The system sound can also identify and extract human sounds and allows them to be highlighted during loud scenes with background noise in movies.

Huawei is definitely bringing a number of perks with its next-generation TV — it could fundamentally change the way we communicate from our homes. Its availability and prices will be announced soon.
