Although the Huawei P30 series headlined the Chinese company’s South African launch event on Wednesday, it also announced the availability of “companion” devices.

Speaking at the launch, Huawei’s SA GM Likun Zhao noted that the firm will adopt a new local strategy consisting of a variety of smart devices. That’s not to say smartphones are dead for Huawei. Anything but. However, you can expect the following wearables, tablets and laptops to arrive in South Africa before too long.
