Huawei’s AI Hardware Push Builds Toward April 20 Showcase With AITO M9 “Black Tech” and Zhijie V9 Reveal

Omdia says Huawei leads a softening China phone market during a surge in memory costs.

Overview

  • Huawei executives teased two headline systems for the next AITO M9: a six‑lidar 3D sensing array that adds depth perception and a fully active chassis that adjusts the car’s ride and control in real time.
  • Zhijie’s V9 flagship MPV was unveiled with an interactive side‑door light carpet that detects a person with millimeter‑wave radar and syncs door opening with rotating zero‑gravity seats.
  • The V9 also carries Huawei’s QianKun ADS 4 high‑level driving system, a roof‑mounted 896‑line lidar, DLP projection headlights with custom signals, and showroom cars are due later this month.
  • Huawei set April 20 for a Pura series and full‑scene event where its AI glasses will debut, with the company promoting camera capture, audio features, HarmonyOS links across devices, and live translation.
  • Fresh Omdia data show global smartphones grew 1% in Q1 as DRAM and NAND prices jumped, China shipments dipped 1%, and Huawei led domestically with about 13.9 million units on pricing that resisted broad hikes.
