FixedFocus revealed that the Huawei Mate 70 series cell won’t exceed the 6000mAh capacity. None of the models carry a giant battery like that of the Magic 7 lineup.

Although another tipster in the comment section hints that the Huawei Mate 70 series will likely provide improved and more reliable battery life than ever before.

Some netizens even predicted that Huawei could use a 5500 or 5700mAh battery for the Mate 70 smartphones this time. A good cell capacity offers more efficient and longer-lasting power to a device, making it more durable for every scenario.

For reference, the Huawei Mate 60 series contains a 5000mAh battery, except for the standard model (4750mAh). It would be worth seeing if the company makes any changes to this configuration or uses the same capacity for the next lineup.

Apart from the cell, HarmonyOS NEXT is also said to contribute to the Mate 70 models’ battery life. The new OS version claims to offer at least one hour of extra battery life to devices compared to the previous software (HarmonyOS 4.2).

Weibo tipster @UncleKanshan notes that a new Huawei Hi Enjoy series phone has recently received the 3C certification with 40W charging. It falls under the WIKO Devices brand and has the model number JEY-AN00.

The tipster reveals that the device’s codename is Jerry. While the launch time is unclear, the leak hints that the new Hi Enjoy smartphone could release this month.

Following the new input, a few netizens predicted that this might be the Hi Enjoy 70 Plus phone. WIKO launched the standard model of this series featuring a Dimensity 700 chip two months back. The company may now reveal its Plus variant.

Other details of the device are currently unknown. But we may find them in the coming days.

WIKO has launched Hi Enjoy 70 and 70 Pro handsets, inspired by Huawei models. These devices install the Dimensity 700 chip and come with new features.

The standing WIKO Hi Enjoy 70 model is available in three colors: Ice Blue, Snow White, and Gold black. It sports a 6.75-inch LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The phone also supports AOD glance.

Unlike the upcoming phone, the standard Hi Enjoy 70 supports a 10W charging capability for the 5000mAh battery. It has a single rear camera setup at the rear end worth 13MP and a 5MP front-facing camera for selfie and video calling purposes.

Zhengfei attended the ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Content) coding competition for university students yesterday. He talked with students about the company, technology, future goals, and various other relevant topics.

During an interrogation with students, Ren said the U.S. has openness and inclusivity in its tech community that benefits it in every field including the chipmaking sector.

Ren believes that Huawei can learn from the receptive culture of the US as it makes the country advance in science and technology. The founder adds the US ban led Huawei to build its tech as it cannot access advanced tools from foreign markets.

“The US has set an example for all countries and companies worldwide on being open. If a country is closed off, it will fall behind.” – says Ren Zhengfei.

US vs Huawei

US sanctions hit Huawei in 2019 due to security concerns. As of now, the foreign authorities tightened the trade controls to continue blocking Huawei from accessing advanced chipmaking tools or equipment.

However, these restrictions have also shown some positive results. Due to the US ban, Huawei started marching on the self-sufficiency path and making the country self-dependent rather than relying on foreign goods, AI chips, and software.

“American technologies and tools are very good… [but] Huawei cannot use them; we had no choice but to create our tools. Open innovation and utilizing the advanced achievements of others is the true way forward for an enterprise.” – Ren Zhengfei.

The executive also believes that AI is becoming unstoppable. It is creating turning points for many firms. If Huawei uses AI in the best ways, it could achieve more success in the time ahead. However, the company needs to put more effort into being at the top in the AI race.

The company published the Q3 2024 financial report. It shows Huawei’s overall sales and profit journey over the past nine months. While the tech giant has scored well in the sales section, it has significantly dropped in net profit this time.

Huawei sales jumped 16% (YoY) to $23.7 billion (168.4 billion yuan) in September 2024. The total revenue in the first three quarters is 585.9 billion yuan.

Last year, the company made a sales revenue of 452.3 billion yuan, in the same period. This time, Huawei grew by 29.5% achieving big success in sales.

Although the company’s net profit has slightly declined compared to 2023. Huawei has posted a drop of 13.7% in 9-month net profit. The tech giant has earned 62.87 billion yuan ($8.83 billion) in the first three quarters of 2024. Whereas, last year’s profit was 72.89 billion yuan ($10.23 billion).

The company shared its financial report via the Shanghai Clearing House website. It hasn’t revealed the breakdown of its sales hike or net profit drop. Yet the figure shows that Huawei has to work more to fight against its rivals in the market.

A recent report by IDC highlighted a 42% shipment growth of Huawei’s smartphones. Meanwhile, the demand for Ascend AI chips is gradually increasing in China as an alternative to Nvidia processors. The tech maker is also expanding its smart car solution business with advanced techs and more partners.

These seem some of the reasons behind Huawei sales growth of 16% in the first three quarters. Speaking of R&D investment, the company has raised the R&D expenses to 127.412 billion yuan. It is a year-on-year increase of 10.80% and accounts for 21.75% of the revenue. The only lag is net profit with a 13.2% margin.

Zhao Ming – the CEO of Honor attended an exclusive interview after the Magic 7 series launch event. During the interrogation, a reporter asked if the company sees any biggest competitor in the fierce flagship smartphone competition. “Is it Mate 70?”

Ming replied that Huawei Mate 70 feels like the strongest rival at present. The executive said he doesn’t doubt the respective phone’s potential to rule the market.

He added that Honor is still growing and it wouldn’t be right to talk about rivals this early. The company only aims to develop better devices and the rest of the decision is in consumers’ hands.

“Huawei Mate 70 is the strongest competitor of all brands, there is no doubt about that. …we’re still growing and it is too early to talk about competitors. We must do our best and let consumers recognize our products.” – Zhao Ming.

The Honor CEO implied that the Huawei Mate 70 could be the toughest competitor in the market. The flagship series will enter the real world by next month.

Zhao mentioned that Honor has been working hard for the past few years to prove itself. Yet, it still sees certain doubts on R&D capabilities and the ability to innovate. The question “Can we develop better after being separated from Huawei” persists.

The CEO meant that Honor had to take major steps and implement new changes in terms of innovation. The company has introduced many useful solutions for its devices. For instance, the Qinghai Lake battery, Eagle Eye camera, and more.

“We relied on products and hard work. In this process, I think it is more important for Honor to be the best version of itself.” – said Zhao Ming.

Tipster @AdakFenglangjuxu says that Huawei could make the camera and gallery access much safer with the future HarmonyOS NEXT updates. He shared his experience with the new software beta regarding systems and third-party apps.

Most apps, especially social ones require access to the gallery and camera for media content sharing. Although this permission often raises security concerns.

But HarmonyOS NEXT ensures secure access to both these system apps in every manner. The tipster says the HarmonyOS NEXT gallery ensures all apps have safer access at all times. It validates if images/videos are obtained via secure access controls.

Adak reveals two methods to access the gallery app:

The first one uses the device system’s component to obtain data. For instance, the Mee Time app directly uses the Image Picker to access the gallery app. It supports the device system’s component to control and obtain the data.

WeChat, on the flip side, uses its UI design to control access. It doesn’t directly support the device’s system components for every app.

Most of the applications such as the GoPaint app or Weibo use the second type (their own UI design) to access the gallery app rather than the device system’s component.

This might appear as insecure access to many users. The same goes for the camera app. Adak says that the camera should have a preview frame in real-time before scanning double QR codes and beauty cameras.

Such apps and services have their algorithms to access the camera which may not be secure in every manner. Note that these don’t harm your data but can’t be said safe as well. Following these points, Huawei could boost its security for gallery and camera access with the upcoming HarmonyOS NEXT versions.

MasOrange is one of the biggest mobile network operators in Spain. The telecom has been planning to pull Huawei from its 5G network core. Now it has penned down a cooperation with Ericsson for using its OpenRAN tech as an alternative solution.

Spain’s MasOrange has relied on both Ericsson and Huawei so far. Later, it decided to follow the UK norms and phase out the Chinese suppliers from its network core.

Following this aim, the company has now tied up with Ericsson for its 5G OpenRAN tech to push off Huawei from Spain. It will reduce Huawei’s 5G network share from 54% to 39% in the company by removing its products from 1600 sites in Spain.

Meanwhile, it could remove Huawei from all the sites by 2028 and 2029. The company will further replace ZTE which holds 4% of the company’s network share by the end of 2027 using Ericsson’s 5G network technology.

Inputs state that it’s the first such deal for Ericsson in Europe after making a contract with AT&T last year. It is a five-year cooperation under the label of OpenRAN.

Jenny Lindqvist, the senior vice president at Ericsson said:

“This deal with MasOrange is exactly what we think the industry will be moving towards and how we will scale OpenRAN. We are still very early on the 5G curve in Europe compared to many other markets.”

Other details reveal that Ericsson will deploy its OpenRAN 5G technology in 10000 sites in Spain. How much time this deployment will take is currently unknown.
