really really good devices which was your highlight by highlight is that you know that's a myth I made temporal and it's the very first one in the industry to using the AI processing insider artificially intelligent processing inside and although also we support the super fast like connectivity the cat's a king the modem the super fast not open the 1.2 gigabit per second super fastest speed the connection and I like not only this is a AI processor and enable this phone I was drawn performance on a camera appears the best camera experience and also have ai functionality to do a lot of a is the I the industries coming so it's a good opportunity and more importantly for the users the phone is a actual on battery life superfast chasman you know that's the very convenient for American consumers the make tempura was the culmination of all of these efforts of Huawei over the last several years to be the absolute best on the market yeah what do you think is the next big thing in the industry I think the next big thing for the industry is the camera camera I will Ellucian a camera revolution you know today that's the matin and made them Pro how the unity the best camera experience but we but it's very good and by the way we hope is everything is not enough we want you more closer to the professional camera the big bulky professional camera that's unless Mike you got it today da you know for consumer the may 10 amid improve the speed the fast enough you know the battery life is a long and also very compact design good good this way and the AI and I are coming and we can that's the phone more bring more value to the consumer you can talk with your phone okay yeah you can do a lot of the enhanced ability it has the function functionality what can we expect in terms of revolutionising the camera I think that's kind of revolutionary first you know you know that is a bigger pocket lines we need a room a lot is long distance zoom in zoom out you know that's you can see ticket of photo far away I get a boat on Qi the bigger the closer so I think that that's kind of things it's very nurturing Agathe is a very low light condition how you can take a very good photo in the toughest situation in a low light condition in the high contrast today us see the mid 10 beaten pro in the high contracts involving vehicles really very good photo it's amazing yeah maybe photo yeah buddy in future we want to cut him better even better obviously talking about the camera is it brings us a great way to talk about partnerships and the camera is where even you put that partnership with Leica yeah what made you choose like over other partners yeah you know the lacquer they are they have a lot of experience professional camera yeah and there are no holiday on the and the camera lens and also the camera how to take a great photo so we we want we partnership with lacquer it because in a pack back hard you know possibly have your not only the luxury brand famous brand but all more important is you have a lot of knowledge and know-how and how can you take the best photo best picture and the partnership with like is it just hardware or do they also help with the software and algorithms yeah both hardware and software and also tuning out the cameras that's fabulous so another partnership we've obviously seen here is porsche design with maj designer and

Huawei ever work on its given its advancements in AI especially on the processor side do you plan to ever launch your own assistant or are you happy with the established players China market below our own assistant the globally we partner with you the Amazon is a Google today obviously saw the announcement of the partnership with gal gadot for the launch of the make tempura in the u.s. yes and then that was the big new the other big news during the keynote was the make tempo is coming to the US and we it's launching next month it's seven hundred and ninety nine dollars with $150 gift card why do you think now is the time to to start bringing big flag ships into the u.s. for fruit wale you know that's a in the u.s. marketer is the mainly the other two men that's the prodigal the lack of enough for competition so we because a week of our confidence our product is the competitor having the best in the best smartphone and I have a better experience that's why we bring the phone and to kill the consumer more choice you know the last year we we bring them the mid and I usually sue very good consumer feedback can see below it what are the challenges you faced in terms of bringing devices to the US I think you know in the u.s. marketer consumer need us Karia need us we want us only only some some some of the other issues yeah you know that I I don't speak already but you understand it was that so that kind of to be honest that's why we our phones we are very stringent and of security and the privacy protection we saw this during the keynote you had a lot of announcements around the various standards you're compliant with all the privacy all the securities there is a little bit of a stigma unfortunately when it comes to all Chinese companies in general around privacy especially in the US market is that going to be enough to help us customers change their mind yeah you know that's a no issue at all that's the kind of things for the consumer we're doing the best we do the best that's the things that's kind of things in information you look beautifuller some the other people you see some people you know that China using some that excuse to keep us out but III tell three I tell them the fact he let him learn no excuse it wouldn't be talking about 2017 and the mate empro without looking at our end of your Awards last year I'm really really happy and really really proud to be able to say that after all of that we actually crowned the huawei mate empro as the best smartphone of 2017 and we do have a little memento here just to say thank you to you and something to
