If you are planning to be around the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) area this coming weekend to soak in the pre-Chinese New Year atmosphere, you might want to make a detour to the Huawei Experience Store. For one day only, on January 31, 2026, Huawei is hosting a Panda Pop-Up Event that serves as both a festive celebration and a final nudge for those sitting on the fence about their latest flagship devices.
Visitors who step into the store will find a festive setup centred around an adorable panda mascot. It is not just for show; engaging with the mascot by snapping a photo and posting it on social media with the required hashtags unlocks a mystery gift box. For those who enjoy a bit of digital window shopping, there is an activity involving the new Huawei MatePad 12 X. By curating a New Year wishlist on the tablet and sharing it online, visitors can take home an exclusive panda plushie and stickers, adding a bit of tangible fun to the digital experience.
Huawei is also providing a free screen protector replacement service for selected smartphones and wearables during the event. For long-time users whose devices might be showing the wear and tear of daily use, this is a genuine value-add that refreshes your hardware without costing a cent. It is a smart move that rewards loyalty while getting customers into the store to see the new lineup.
The pop-up offers a prime opportunity to get hands-on with Huawei’s latest hardware before the pre-order window closes.
Huawei Mate X7: The Durability Benchmark
The star of the show is undoubtedly the Huawei Mate X7. This foldable aims to silence the perennial concerns about fragility with its Ultra-Reliable Foldable Architecture. nThe device features an industry-first three-layer composite structure and is shielded by Ultra-Durable Crystal Armour Kunlun Glass, making it significantly more resilient to the accidental drops and knocks of daily life.
Beyond its toughness, the Mate X7 impresses with its imaging capabilities. The new “Time-Space Gate” camera module houses an Ultra Lighting HDR Camera system capable of cinematic 4K video recording. Whether you are capturing a wide-angle shot of a family reunion or zooming in for a detail-rich macro photo, the system is designed to deliver consistent, true-to-life colors even in challenging lighting conditions. All of this tech is wrapped in a slim, IP58/IP59-rated body available in textures like the Light-Woven Brocade, which feels particularly fitting for the festive season.
Huawei MatePad 12 X: Productivity on the Go
Also on display is the Huawei MatePad 12 X, a tablet that blurs the line between mobile device and laptop. It features a 12-inch Ultra-clear PaperMatte Display, which utilizes nanoscale etching to reduce glare by 50%, offering a comfortable, paper-like viewing experience that is easy on the eyes.
This tablet is built for serious work. It comes pre-installed with PC-level WPS Office 3.0, allowing users to handle complex spreadsheets, documents, and presentations just as they would on a desktop. When paired with the Huawei M-Pencil Pro and the Smart Magnetic Keyboard, it transforms into a potent creative and productivity station. The “NearLink” technology ensures that stylus inputs are ultra-responsive, making it a favorite for digital artists using the GoPaint app. With a massive 10,100mAh battery and 66W SuperCharge, it is designed to keep up with even the busiest schedules.
Last Call for Pre-Order Perks
The timing of the pop-up isn’t accidental—it coincides with the final window to secure pre-order benefits for the Mate X7, which ends on 30 January 2026. Visitors can still take advantage of the massive gift bundles and AppGallery rewards before the device goes on general sale. Whether you are there for the free screen protector, the panda plushie, or a serious hardware upgrade, the event at The Exchange TRX looks to be a worthwhile stop for tech enthusiasts this weekend.
