Huawei Technologies<\/a> is aiming for a major international comeback, with the overseas release of its latest flagship smartphone<\/a>, the Mate 80 Pro, alongside a new smartwatch<\/a> and the addition of a \u201cwheelchair mode\u201d to its wearable<\/a> devices.Powered by the company\u2019s self-designed, China-made Kirin 9030 Pro<\/a> processor, the overseas version of its Mate 80 Pro handsets will run on the Android-based EMUI 15 operating system, Huawei announced at a launch event in Madrid, Spain<\/a>, on Thursday.While the domestic version of the Mate 80 Pro runs on Huawei\u2019s proprietary HarmonyOS<\/a>, the overseas model shares the same in-house system-on-a-chip, which the company touted as its most advanced for handsets.The overseas roll-out of the Mate 80 Pro, which was launched in China in November<\/a>, marked the Shenzhen<\/a>-based tech giant\u2019s comeback with its bar-type Mate models in the international market, four years after its launch of the Mate 50 series in 2022.<\/p>\n

The Madrid launch also showed Huawei\u2019s renewed push into the global smartphone market, after it overcame crippling US tech sanctions to successfully return as a domestic leader in China, the world\u2019s largest smartphone market.<\/p>\n
