HUAWEI Music

Through HMS Apps, Huawei provides rich entertainment experience to users by

cooperating with global leading partners.

* HUAWEI Video: Huawei is working together with top content providers and

leading content partners including ZDF, Filmin, Megogo, Rakuten and more, to

offer a rich selection of international and local video content to consumers.

* HUAWEI Music: In partnership with Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group,

Sony Music Entertainment and more, Huawei offers a vast library of quality

music that can be streamed on HUAWEI Music.

* HUAWEI Reader: available in China, Spain and Malaysia now, the catalogue of

digital books is also quickly expanding with quality reading materials in

multiple languages.

The brand-new panorama theme in HUAWEI Themes comes with the launch of P40

Series. Collaborating with artists around the globe, panorama themes are

provided in multiple forms including live-photo and Chinoiserie, bringing an

immersive and realism experience to users with a variety of panoramic

interaction, which creates a more personalised form of smartphone themes.

HUAWEI Mobile Cloud supports automatic data backup for the phone, which enables

users to back up 18 types of data for their devices, including gallery data,

contacts, calendar, WLAN and more.

Data restoration and multiple device synchronisation are also provided, which

ensure important data on Huawei devices logged into the same HUAWEI ID can be

synchronised in real time, helping users manage data in a safer and easier way.

The "Find My Phone" feature in HUAWEI Mobile Cloud will be launched along with P40 series.

Accelerating development of smart technology in collaboration with developers

Executing on its all-scenario intelligence strategy, Huawei provides global

developers and partners with the access to a wealth of HMS capabilities,

allowing them to easily develop apps for the platform and reach out to millions

of Huawei device users worldwide. Huawei welcomes global developers to launch

their apps on AppGallery, so together with Huawei they can work towards

delivering better app experiences to global consumers.

AppGallery currently provides 18 categories of global and local apps covering

news, social network, video, music, entertainment and games, including the

leading search service provider Qwant, and the mobile game Game of Thrones

Beyond the Wall, which can be downloaded on AppGallery starting April 3rd.

All-scenario digital services covering every aspect of life

The HUAWEI P40 Series is pre-installed with AppGallery, Huawei's official app

marketplace and the world's top 3 distribution platform. Global popular apps

are available on the AppGallery and it also provides localised experiences for

users with a rich selection of local apps. Quick Apps are also rolling out around

the globe to let consumers enjoy a lighter but more convenient app experience.

HUAWEI Ability Gallery is available for developers and cooperating partners to

integrate their services into HUAWEI Assistant, which is accessible by swiping

left on a Huawei device's Home screen, providing them with an avenue to reach

out directly to users. For instance, leading British newspaper publisher News

UK has partnered with Huawei. Based on the collaboration, users can receive

news from News UK via Instant Access, AI Tips, and other points of access

provided by HUAWEI Assistant. Also, the flagship apps of News UK, including

The Times, talkSPORT and The Sun, are launched on AppGallery.

"Huawei remains committed to the development of our chipset-device-cloud

capabilities, and we hope to join hands with global developer and partners to

speed up the development of HMS ecosystem. Together, we will create better

smart experiences that make the full use of 5G technology for the benefit of

consumers," said Richard.

With the arrival of HUAWEI P40 Series, Huawei will continue to build out the

HMS ecosystem to enrich the digital lifestyle for HUAWEI P40 Series users.
