Super Device for a smart experience

The HUAWEI MateBook D 16 takes multi-device collaboration to a whole new level, thanks to Super Device, bringing super productivity with a cohesive multi-device experience. It lets you effortlessly connect to other Huawei devices nearby, and collaborate between them all. Simply place your Huawei earphones, mice, keyboards, speakers and printers close to the HUAWEI MateBook D 16, and the laptop will automatically discover them and provide a prompt for quick and easy pairing. 

In addition, with smartphones like the newly launched HUAWEI P50 and tablets like the 12.6-inch HUAWEI MatePad Pro, it is even more useful. Once you have wirelessly connected your phone, you will see its UI (User Interface) appear on your laptop screen, so you can operate it as if your smartphone and laptop are one device. You can access and edit your files, use and manage up to three phone app windows simultaneously, take video or audio calls from your phone through your MateBook, and even use your mouse and keyboard to control your smartphone. 

Your tablet can be transformed into a drawing pad or second screen, with documents, images and more seamlessly shared between the two.

Smart conference calls anytime, anywhere

As hybrid office working is gradually becoming the norm, people are in need for an immersive, safe, and efficient meeting experience in complex environments. In view to this, the HUAWEI MateBook D 16 is dedicated to building a meeting space anytime, anywhere with its Smart Conference solution that features AI Sound and AI Camera. The crystal clear 1080P AI Camera makes video conferencing a delight, thanks to the picture quality and smart AI features. 

During a video call, the AI Camera’s FollowCam adjusts the screen in real time to keep the speaker in the centre of the shot; so even if they are moving around, you never get distracted from what they are saying. The Eye Contact function uses AI to intelligently adjust to the user’s line of vision.

One of the frustrating things about video calls can be having to tidy a messy room, or being distracted by people moving behind you in a busy café. Virtual background lets you keep your privacy and your concentration, thanks to built-in static and dynamic backgrounds such as offices, coffee shops or outdoor scenery. You can also choose an image to have as your background, or use the AI background blur to distort what is happening behind you. 

The HUAWEI MateBook D 16 features a quad-mic setup that is placed along the edges of the laptop, supporting sound pick-up from sources up to five metres away from the device. The AI noise reduction algorithms can also reduce your background noise on a call; while Personal Voice Enhancement helps you focus on the speaker.
