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).

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.

Mate 70 Series

Huawei will launch four models with the Mate 70 series: Standard, Pro, Pro+, and RS Ultimate Design. The lineup will bring major upgrades and could be the first to equip a new Kirin 5nm chip as well as HarmonyOS NEXT software system.

Other changes will be visible as enhanced photography experience, faster touch responses, improved video recording, as well as an upgraded fingerprint unlock solution.

FixedFocus revealed that Huawei still has many Kirin 8000 products in the pipeline. The processor could be used in new MatePad tablets and the upcoming Enjoy series. The company will probably unveil these devices by the end of this year.

On October 30, Huawei quietly unveiled the MatePad 11.5 2024 tablet. The company didn’t reveal the chipset info. However, an early leak suggested that the device uses Kirin 8000. It seems the OEM is planning more new products with the same chip.

The leak doesn’t specify any release time for these products. Yet, Huawei will likely unveil a new tablet and another Enjoy series before wrapping up this year.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed the news yet. Hence, let’s take this input with a grain of salt and wait for the official statements on this matter.

Kirin 8000 debuted with the Nova 12 Pro handset in December last year. It is an octa-core chipset that is inferior to Kirin 9000SL but promises better performance than the previous-generation Kirin 8 processors, for the mid-range lineup.

The chipset contains a 4+3+1 CPU architecture. It has four 1.84GHz small cores, three 2.19GHz medium cores, and one 2.40GHz large core. The chip is paired with Maleoon 910 GPU and has been installed on Nova 13 series, Nova Flip, and Nova 12 Pro.

Huawei is currently focusing on the Mate 70 series. The flagship lineup will likely launch next month with several new features as well as a powerful Kirin chip.

The device will further carry upgraded imaging features, improved and faster touch responses, and new satellite capabilities to enhance the user experience.

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.

The tech giant is releasing the October 2024 update for Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 global units. It upgrades the security patch level to the current month.

A good part of the update is it will protect your device’s system and data from privacy exploits and harmful malware. It further increases the tablet’s potential to fight against vulnerabilities that may ruin the overall user experience.

However, the bad part is that the device is still running on the HarmonyOS 4.0 version. The company hasn’t upgraded the MatePad Pro 13.2 tablet to the 4.2 software build. We anticipate hearing about the new rollout for the flagship device soon.

According to the changelog, MatePad Pro 13.2 users can identify the new October 2024 update with the HarmonyOS 4.0.0.141 version. One has to download a software package of 356 MB to install the latest security improvements to the handset.

• Security: Integrated the October 2024 security patch to enhance the system security.

October 2024 security patch fixes 6 major CVEs and 18 third-party library defects. It improves the issues related to the security, Wi-Fi, and lock-screen module.

The update also claims to offer performance optimizations for a better and more stable user experience. Hence, you should prioritize this firmware and install it as soon as possible.

HarmonyOS 4.2 rollout for global tablets?

Huawei has served the HarmonyOS 4.2 upgrade to almost every eligible tablet and wearable in the home ground. However, such a treatment is still missing for the devices in the global market.

Although the company has begun its work with the HarmonyOS NEXT and it may soon release HarmonyOS 4.2 build for the global users as well. If not immediately, the company might bring this offering by the end of this year or early 2025.

Zhou Hongyi shared his views on HarmonyOS NEXT. During an interview, he stated the new software seemingly contains prominent features and the goodness of AI.

The 360 Group Founder added that HarmonyOS NEXT is a major creation in Huawei’s ecosystem. It is not an ordinary OS but a complete package of smarter and more significant features. HarmonyOS will likely be a tough opponent to other operating systems.

“…It is more likely to become a dark horse in the field of mobile operating systems and create a school of its own.” – said Zhou Hongyi.

The executive further stressed how AI is becoming an important part of users and phone makers. He said that AI can easily reshape the overall user experience.

Hence, the success of HarmonyOS is connected to AI progress. Huawei will likely introduce more advanced AI features with its new software rollouts for its devices.

Zhou Hongyi mentioned that AI has the power to redefine smartphones and bring all phone makers back to the same starting line. Big AI models give opportunities to all industries to reshuffle, reshape, and overtake rivals in the technology race.

HarmonyOS NEXT claims to be better in several aspects. Whether it is UI smoothness or advanced functions, the company has upgraded the new OS at all levels.

Huawei ensures that HarmonyOS NEXT offers a much better experience than the previous versions. It has improved the fluency part of the software by 30%. Meanwhile, the upgraded version brings 1 hour of extra battery life for its devices.

Changes are also visible while sharing files and downloading applications to the device. HarmonyOS NEXT promises to deliver faster sharing speed and protect your device from anonymous apps that could be a threat to your data and privacy.

DirectorShiGuan states that the Huawei Mate 70 series may launch around November 20. It may come after the Double 11 sales event, which is currently live in China.

The tipster further adds that Huawei will also unveil the Mate X6 foldable phone at the same time. The company might not keep much gap between the Mate 70 and the new folding phone’s launch, this year.

The latest input is in line with the previous revelation. Huawei has already said to launch Mate 70 in fourth quarter. We may witness the new lineup next month.

Just like last year, Huawei may unveil the Mate 70 series under the Pioneer Program. In August 2023, Huawei surprised its consumers with the Mate 60 Pro. The secretive release was quite different from the usual grand events for flagship devices.

Such a unique unveiling without any promotion, led to the staggering sales of the Mate 60 series. Huawei again opted for the same strategy for the Pura 70 models and the results are well-known. The device shipments reached 6.5 million units.

It seems the Mate 70 series will not be an exception to this launching procedure. The new smartphones may join the Pioneer Program, enabling customers to purchase the retail device in advance. The exact details will be known in the coming days.

The tipster states that Mate 70 is much better than its predecessor. The tech giant has significantly improved the new series in almost every aspect.

Whether it’s camera, AI features, design, fingerprint sensor, screen, chip, or anything else. The new models will have better and cutting-edge techs over Mate 60.

For the camera system, the company is testing OmniVision OV50H (maybe for the standard), and an OV50K lens for the Pro or high-end variants.

Another major treatment will be HarmonyOS NEXT. Huawei Mate 70 will come with the HarmonyOS NEXT goodness out of the box. It may unlock more interesting features and capabilities, enhancing the overall user experience.

But…

A few HarmonyOS NEXT beta testers revealed that the smoothness of the new software is far ahead of iOS. Huawei greatly improved the overall flow of the device with the upgrade. App animations and transitions easily glide on the screen.

The software not only provides an impressive feel to the fingers but is also soothing to the eyes. A simple tap and swipe gesture is enough to perform a task.

Users who recently switched from an iPhone to a Huawei device said that iOS isn’t as good as HarmonyOS NEXT. This time, the Chinese firm has significantly improved the smoothness of the software. It brings a silky tactile feel with good visuals.

One of the HarmonyOS NEXT beta users said:

“The animation is truly smooth and pleasing to the eyes. I can just tap or swipe the screen and it’s even very relaxing. iOS is really a waste of time compared to its smoothness.”

It’s not the first time that Huawei HarmonyOS NEXT “smoothness” has been discussed among netizens. Some eager tipsters earlier shared their HarmonyOS NEXT experience and claimed it to be better than Android and iOS. Read More

HarmonyOS NEXT also brings changes to the user interface. It comes with cleaner and simpler UI features that enable users to easily understand their device.

One may further discover a redesigned Control Center with larger icons as well as better fonts. Customizations for lock screen are also available in the new upgrade.

Apart from smoothness, Huawei has also enhanced the security level with its new software. HarmonyOS NEXT introduces excellent services that protect your data from harmful applications and even restrict them for around nine permissions.
