2021 HUAWEI Developers Winter Giveaway: Winner Announcement
Recently we ran the HUAWEI Winter Giveaway, where we asked the public “If your smartwatch could do one thing in 2022 to make your digital life better, what would it be?” The Giveaway officially came to an end on December 31 2021, and our judging panel, having carefully assessed and verified the entries, has now announced the winners of the competition. There were 24 winners chosen in total, with 8 coming in first place, 8 coming in second place, and 8 coming in third place. The winners are listed below.

| ***uldavid1@gmail.com | Romania | A range of ideas to include integrating live translations; include a safety alarm; health diagnosis; more sensors; lie detector; recharge battery using the human body and the end goal to replace smartphones with smartwatches by using holograms for larger viewing. | |
