Dolby Atmos Immersive Sound Brought to Huawei Mobile Devices

PARIS and SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2018 -- Dolby Laboratories, Inc.(NYSE:DLB) today announced a partnership with Huawei to launch the HUAWEI P20 and HUAWEI P20 Pro with Dolby Atmos sound and Dolby® AC-4.

Dolby Atmos within a mobile device adds an extra, fluid and breathtaking audio dimension to an already dynamic experience. Through headphones and built-in speakers, you can immerse yourself within the soundscape; appreciating the rich moving sounds and object noises perceived in three-dimensional space, while you’re also on the move. Both devices also support Dolby AC-4, an end-to-end audio solution developed to enhance today and tomorrow’s audio experiences for consumers and content distributors alike.

“Our goal is to create a sound experience that brings entertainment to life, no matter how or where you listen,” said Giles Baker, SVP, Consumer Entertainment Group, Dolby Laboratories. “With Dolby Atmos at the heart of the HUAWEI P20, we’re putting better, deeper and clearer sound into the hands of consumers globally.”

“The P20 is a phone of firsts and that’s why we’re excited to be working with Dolby to include the latest audio technology,” said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group. “We’re expanding this immersive, best-in-class sound experience from our MateBook X series laptops to our newest mobile devices.”

Dolby Atmos enables spectacular audio experiences across the cinema, in the home, on the go and beyond. It creates powerful moving audio on your mobile device via headphone and built-in speakers, wherever you go. Benefits include: a more enveloping soundfield, greater subtlety and nuance, crisper dialogue, maximized loudness without distortion, and consistent playback volume for a very wide variety of content.
