Petal Maps brings the navigation experience to life with the all-new HUAWEI Mate Xs 2
MILAN, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-Together, the combination of superior hardware and software offers users a 
clearer, more immersive navigation experience

On May 18, 2022, Huawei officially released the foldable phone HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 
in Milan. The newly launched HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 offers the perfect blend of 
powerful technology and an upgraded user experience on HMS apps. As Huawei's 
exclusive mapping app, Petal Maps has also been adapted to the new smartphone. 
The bendable and expansive capabilities of the foldable screen give users a 
clearer and more immersive navigation experience, making travel more seamless 
than ever.

Experience the larger-than-life navigation of Petal Maps further with HUAWEI 
Mate Xs 2's bigger screen

The bigger screen lets users see more information at once and allows for 
additional lane-level navigation and arrow guidance in Petal Maps, delivering 
clearer and more immersive navigation.

While navigating, Petal Maps lets users enjoy a better view of the roads 
they're on, with lane-specific information and arrow guidance. This equips 
users so that they can make key decisions in advance, such as turning, getting 
on a ramp, or passing through the intersection safely.

What's more, while you're driving, you can handily unfold the screen and place 
it on your vehicle's central console. The phone's foldable screen will then 
similarly work as the car's central console for a smoother, more vibrant 
navigation display as you cruise through the streets.

Petal Maps with the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 lets you work on whatever size of screen 
suits you best – you can fold and unfold it depending on your preference for a 
smaller or larger navigation display, whether you're driving or walking.

Petal Maps offers UI/UX improvements for users with the bigger screen of the 
HUAWEI Mate Xs 2

Petal Maps has always prioritised making user interactions as fun and engaging 
as possible, applying a streamlined interface, producing brighter and more 
authentic colours, strengthening street-level and architectural details, and 
rendering true-to-life lighting at a 3D level.

The app also incorporates map layers, such as 3D maps, to reproduce nuances of 
real-world conditions onscreen. The 3D maps display produces a more holistic 
level of detail. With realistic lighting effects, users will be able to see 
streetlights and building lights in dark mode when they're navigating at night.

The phone's bigger screen serves to enhance the rich detail of the 3D layer, 
with elements like weather, time of day, and lighting effects visible on Petal 
Maps, bringing new insights into view.

Additionally, the 3D layer now includes prominent landmarks such as the Eiffel 
Tower, London Eye, and Kuala Lumpur Tower, all rendered in 3D so that users can 
travel the world in the mind's eye, without even having to set foot outside.

The app's leading UI interaction experience has been recognised, as Petal Maps 
garnered a prestigious Red Dot Design Award 
(https://www.red-dot.org/project/petal-maps-55184). Featuring superior UX 
design and colour reproduction, it provides minimalistic visuals, streamlined 
operations, and buttery-smooth page switching for an unprecedented level of 
immersion when one opens the app.

In 2021, the app grew by leaps and bounds and continues to flourish. Aiming to 
grow from strength to strength, the app's creators have applied professional 
colour gamut management and reproduction of the HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 to ensure that 
the maps onscreen capture the beauty of real-world settings, while remaining 
clear and accessible.

Petal Maps continues to build a richer, more realistic user experience

Since its release in October 2020, Petal Maps has adhered to a vision of 
creating "a new way to explore the world", offering ground-breaking navigation 
features that have made waves. Petal Maps has already been released in more 
than 160 countries and regions around the world, and garnered more than 28 
million monthly active users, as well as widespread acclaim.

To further elevate the user experience, Petal Maps has launched many useful 
features. With useful enhancements like Lane Guidance, which helps users to 
identify and navigate complex road and traffic scenarios, and the Offline Maps 
function, which enables Petal Maps to be used with limited internet access, 
Petal Maps lets you find your way seamlessly.

In addition, Petal Maps has recently released a lot of interesting new 
features, like personalised skins for the four seasons, and temperature and 
precipitation layers. Users can switch the themed skins based on their personal 
preferences, and view future temperature and precipitation changes using the 
map visualisation effect.

Looking forward, Petal Maps continues to elevate the All-Scenario Seamless AI 
Life Experience through strong hardware and software collaborations such as 
this one, bringing richer and more innovative user experiences to consumers 
around the world.

(Availability of HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 and Petal Maps features may vary by 
countries/regions; actual conditions should prevail.)
