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…

• Will the Huawei Mate 70 series make a global debut? 

The post Huawei Mate 70 series expected to launch by November 20 appeared first on Huawei Central.

So without any delays, let’s explore the key features and specs of the Huawei Nova 13 Series.

Design

Both models have an interwoven pattern on the back and come in four colors: Loden Green, Feather Sand Purple, Feather Sand White, and Starry Black.

Loden Green is the main color of the Nova 13 series. Huawei has used a new spatial grid glass for the back panel, crafted with micro-nano-level 3D lithography tech and micro-crystal feather yarn technology. It also has skin-friendly, stain-resistant, and scratch-resistant properties.

Standard Nova 13: The device reminds us of the Nova 12 but in a more good-looking avatar. It has the same big star ring lens in a pill-shaped frame with two openings below. One of them is the macro sensor while the other one is a flash.

Front Part: Standard Nova 12 has a single punch-hole design on the face and the thinnest bezels. It has a flat display with equal depth capability.

Nova 12 Pro: This is where the new look lies! Huawei has adopted a new camera module which is slightly extra elongated than its predecessors. Simply put, the pill-shaped camera bump is thinner and longer than before. Also, the lens arrangement has changed significantly, showing three lenses.

Front part: Unlike the standard variant, the Nova 13 Pro uses has a pill cutout on the top with two holes. The phone has two front-facing cameras for impressive portraits in one go.

The standard Nova 13 comes with a 6.7-inch OLED flat screen. It has a resolution of 2412 x 1084 pixels, a refresh rate of 120Hz, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, a 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 1.07 billion colors, and a brand-new lithium silicon aluminum deep double-strength display glass.

Nova 13 Pro, on the other hand, sports a 6.76-inch quad-curved micro OLED panel with a 2776 x 1224 pixels resolution and a 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The rest of the display properties are the same as the standard variant.

Camera

Huawei Nova 13 series launched with a combination of dual RYYB and dual OIS triple camera setup with multi-focal-length portrait capabilities. It has a 50MP primary shooter with ultra-optical zoom and anti-shake properties. The other two lenses are a 3x portrait telephoto lens and a 2cm macro ultra-wide-angle lens.

The front face holds a dual-camera system with a 60MP portrait tracking snapper and a 5x zoom portrait lens which has a 0.7-5x full-focus portrait functionality. It supports both front and rear multi-focus features.

Following OPPO, OnePlus has now announced to launch Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 on October 24. The official teaser didn’t highlight much info about the upcoming OS. Yet, it hints that the new software will introduce dynamic AI features.

An official moderator of the OnePlus Community wrote:

“Get ready for OxygenOS 15! Discover the perfect fusion of Speed and AI.
Tune in for the live launch on October 24th, 2024, right here in the Community!”

Two main words that gather the spotlight on the OxygenOS 15 (Android 15) teaser are AI and Speed. It implies that the new OS version will be the fastest, smartest, and most user-friendly software upgrade for OnePlus smartphone users.

Expected Features

Inputs reveal that OnePlus has used cutting-edge algorithms and software techs to shape its new OS version. Meanwhile, AI capabilities will improve the animations and UI customizations, making them smoother and more fluent than ever.

Users may also discover new and better home screen layouts that will bring a delightful experience. Multi-tasking and security are other aspects that will probably offer enhanced features and services. iOS-like design may also show up with this OS.

OnePlus has focused on AI since the day 1 of this year. A few rumors said that the company could merge its new OS with Google Gemini. Doing so will bring advanced image editing features, virtual avatars, smart summaries, and more.

Overall functioning and gaming performance are expected to remain at peak with OxygenOS 15. The exact details of the new OS will likely unveil on October 24.

According to the DigiTimesAsia, the Huawei Mate 70 series could debut in mid-November. The expected launch date for the flagship may fall on Singles’ Day 2024.

China is busy celebrating the Double Eleven sale fest. Several e-commerce channels organize this festival on the occasion of “Singles’ Day” which is on November 11 this year. The report hints that Huawei could launch its new Mate lineup on the same day.

Last year, Huawei unveiled the Mate 60 series on August 23 with a discrete launch. The same time and treatment were expected this year for the next Mate models.

However, the hardware and software optimizations of the Huawei Mate 70 series led to a delay in launch. While users expected to witness the flagship lineup in September 2024 clashing with the iPhone 16, it shifted to mid-November.

But the wait is seemingly about to end. Many Chinese tech giants are ready to showcase their new premium smartphones in the market and Huawei will probably join this race by November 11, 12 (Tuesday) or in the same week with Mate 70 series.

The report further says that the Mate 70 models have already entered mass production. Judging from last year’s promotion strategy, the company may directly unveil its new Mate handsets on Singles’ Day this year. But an official confirmation awaits on this matter.

This time, Mate 70 probably won’t trouble customers with its tight supply problems. Early inputs revealed that Huawei has prepared enough stock to meet the market demands without fail. The overall unit capacity is 50% more than the Mate 60 series.

Huawei Mate 70 series will bring major internal upgrades and some minor changes to the appearance. The devices may use the next-gen basalt body architecture, Kunlun Glass, and camera framework with better drop and wear-resistant properties.

Display and imaging capabilities will also fetch new upgrades to deliver the best viewing and photography experience. HarmonyOS NEXT and the rumored 5nm Kirin chip are also on the list to boost the performance of the new models.

Let’s see what else we will find with the new Mate 70 smartphones.

The post Huawei Mate 70 series tipped to debut by mid-November appeared first on Huawei Central.

The Chinese OEM always unveiled its Mate smartphones in China and the global market. But the trend unexpectedly changed last year with the Mate 60 series.

The reasons behind the unavailability of Huawei Mate 60 models in global markets are still unclear. However, the return of Kirin 5G is suspected as a major cause.

Other factors include supply chain issues as Huawei was unable to produce enough units and extended orders wait by three months. The U.S. ban is also on the list.

After a year, it seems Huawei is once again ready to bring its Mate lineup to the overseas market. How we can say that? Well, some rumors and leaks have drawn our attention to this perspective. Let’s see how things could turn out to be possible.

Mate 70: compatible with HarmonyOS NEXT & Android?

Yes, several tipsters are claiming that the Mate 70 series will feature a dual-framework software design. This rumor hints that the upcoming models will likely support two software variants: Single Framework and Double Framework.

The single framework refers to the self-developed HarmonyOS NEXT while the double reflects support for Android apps. Simply put, Huawei is tipped to test two versions for its Mate 70 smartphones: HarmonyOS NEXT and Android app support.

A few tipsters also stated that the company is testing a new software framework probably for overseas consumers. Thus, Mate 70 global debut may happen.

Some other reasons:

HarmonyOS NEXT still has years to step into the Huawei global phones. A company’s official said to expand HarmonyOS worldwide in the form of its app ecosystem. But this too has some months to go official. Read the details HERE.

On the other hand, a Huawei spokesperson confirmed months ago that the tech giant will continue to use Android apps with the EMUI software.

And let’s not forget that Huawei has delayed the Mate 70 series launch due to software changes and optimizations. Judging from the rumors, the company might have been adapting its upcoming smartphone series to a dual software framework.

These points indicate that the Huawei Mate 70 series could debut in the global market by next year. But things will only get clear after the official unveiling of the flagship lineup.

This time, the company will likely rename the Ultimate wearable model. As per the official teaser, the wearable name reads ‘Ultimate Exploration’. The new name could apply to all the Watch Ultimate models including the previous and upcoming ones.

Looking into the teaser, the company has added an interesting caption:

“Riding on the green field, opening a legendary chapter. On October 22 at 19:00, the new member of the #HUAWEIWATCH# Ultimate series family – Green Field Legend will be launched! The new green and white color scheme and elegant aesthetics show extraordinary style.”

Unlike other siblings, the Watch Ultimate Green Edition adopts a dual-tone (green and white) bezel around the dial. It is made up of a non-tech ceramic material and attached to a super strong sapphire glass with anti-scratch and anti-glare properties.

The overall green look implies new golf-related features as well as Pro-level sports of the smartwatch. Users will find several useful enhancements with this model.

He Gang – the CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group says that the new Watch Ultimate Green Edition will arrive as a smart golf coach in China on the wrist.

Other specifications like the display panel and battery life are the same as the regular variant. Although changes will occur in terms of features, sports, and capabilities. Users will also find an interwoven green + white textured, antibacterial strap.

Specifications

The device will come with a 48.5 x 48.5 x 13mm dimension and a wrist size of 140-210mm. It will equip a 1.5-inch AMOLED screen with 466 x 466 pixels resolution and 311 PPI. The device features three buttons: a rotating crown, an assist button, and a feature button.

Battery life can remain active for two weeks and it takes nearly 1 hour to charge the device completely. Bluetooth and satellite calling features will continue to enhance the overall user experience.

Zhao Ming and the Chairman of 360 Group, Zhou Hongyi recently attended a live broadcast event. During the interview, the CEO showcased the Honor Magic 7, mainly its front design. He also operated the device to show its major features.

Front Design

Magic 7 phone shows curvy corners on the front side. It has thinner bezels around the screen and exhibits a clean look. The sides of the handset reflect a slight curve all around. Perhaps, the new phone may continue to feature the quad-curved outlook.

Another segment is the pill-shaped design. Honor Magic 7 will also bring the same pill cutout as its predecessors. The design may adopt a selfie lens and a 3D face recognition system.

Back Design

The executive completely covered the back design with a rugged phone case to hide the camera module. Although two lens openings (in a diagonal arrangement) and an LED Flash are visible through the cover. Another strip opening hints at laser focus.

Since the back design is covered with the case, the accurate details are unknown. But the OEM may reveal the entire design with new teasers in the upcoming days.

Apart from the phone, the CEO also described how its smart voice assistant has become even smarter. It can perform various tasks with just a single statement.

Weibo tipster @UncleKanshan revealed that Huawei could launch the Hi MateBook 14 PC later this month. It might be available in major stores by October 25th. Meanwhile, the company may release it officially in the last week of this month.

The leak implies that the new notebook will have a 14-inch screen. Due to the “Hi” term, it could be shelved under the WIKO brand in the future. But things aren’t very clear at the moment. Let’s wait for some more days to get exact details on this topic.

A netizen asked if the Hi MateBook will continue the adaptation to Intel and Windows or use HarmonyOS. In response, the tipster confirmed the former option.

Earlier, the Hi MateBook was expected to launch with HarmonyOS PC as the new smart selection product. However, several other inputs mentioned that Huawei’s new computer-dedicated software won’t be launched earlier than Q2 or Q3 2025.

Hence, the Hi MateBook 14 laptop could bring new techs and features but may support the same Windows operating system with an Intel chip.

Alongside Hi MateBook 14, Huawei could also introduce a brand-new MateBook D 16 variant for its users. The details of the new PC is unclear. But we get more info by the end of this month.

The GoPaint app was launched in May this year to enhance the painting experience for users. It comes with various beautiful canvases, different types of brushes, and tutorials that can help a beginner become a Pro in the painting world.

A netizen recently asked when the company will launch the GoPaint native HarmonyOS app version. In response, a Huawei moderator in the community said the company is working on this process and the results will be out till Q1 2025.

“HarmonyOS NEXT is being improved. After the upgrade, HarmonyOS NEXT does not support”Born to Draw”. This feature is being urgently adapted. It is expected to support in the first quarter of 2025. Please wait patiently for the actual push time. Thank you for your understanding and support.”

It is unclear what the new Huawei GoPaint HarmonyOS NEXT app will bring in Q1 2025 for its users. Although this upgrade will likely make the respective application faster, smoother, and more efficient towards relevant tasks.

Users will get a new and significant app performance with the new GoPaint HarmonyOS NEXT app. We may hit more inputs on this matter in the next year.
