Huawei Mate 70 Rumored to Launch In November With HarmonyOS NEXT
Information about the Huawei Mate 70 series has been circulating for some time, and today a high official of Huawei Mr. Yu Chengdong (Richard Yu), announced on his Weibo profile that this series will be launched this month and will be the most powerful Mate series.
Although the official launch date is still a secret, but tipster Digital Chat Station speculates that the Mate 70 series will be announced on November 19. However, this phone will first be launched in the Chinese market, followed by a global release at a later date.
The Mate 70 Series is expected to be one of the first devices to run Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS NEXT operating system.
Leaks and previous reports suggest that the mass production of this series is already being prepared, and it will consist of four models: the Huawei Mate 70, 70 Pro, 70 Pro+, and the Mate 70 RS Porsche Design, similar to last year's series. The "RS Porsche Design" edition is expected to be marketed as the "Ultimate Design" version in China.
According to Digital Chat Station, Huawei will transition from optical to ultrasonic-based fingerprint sensors. This offers significant advantages when using wet fingers. It should also offer improved speed and reliability.
A move that would bring Huawei in line with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite flagships such as the OnePlus 13, Xiaomi 15, and Vivo iQOO 13. Otherwise, the Mate 70 series may retain the familiar camera array design but will be supplemented with laser sensors, as suggested by leaked images.
In addition, insiders DCS and Smart Pikachu speculate that Huawei could use more energy-efficient chipsets for the Mate 70 series. Modern silicon anode batteries, which should offer a longer runtime with a slim design, are also suspected. Another highlight could be a variable aperture for the 50MP main camera, which adjusts the light sensitivity to different lighting conditions.
Information about the possible prices of this series appeared recently. So the Huawei Mate 70 will reportedly cost CNY 5,999 (about $840) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage version, which will be the same starting price as the Mate 60. The Mate 70 Pro should continue a similar trend, with a starting price of CNY 6,999 (about $980) for the 12/256GB version, the same as the Mate 60 Pro.
The Huawei Mate 70 Pro+ will be priced at CNY 8,999 (around $1,260) for the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, while the top model, the Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate, will be priced at CNY 10,999 (around $1,540). for the version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of space. Interestingly, this top-of-the-line model will be CNY 1,000 (about $140) cheaper than its predecessor.
However, these details and improvements have not yet been officially confirmed, so it is advisable to view the rumors with caution until Huawei releases more precise information. It is not long now and we expect the first technical details soon.
