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).

Huawei Mate 70 handsets will be the first to feature HarmonyOS NEXT. Therefore, one can look for reliable battery performance with the upcoming Mate devices.

Mate 70 smartphones are expected to be the toughest competitors in the consumer market. Many tipsters and revelations implied that the new handsets would bring major upgrades over previous-generation models in all aspects.

For instance, performance, imaging features, satellite capabilities, visual effects, software, chips, and more. We have entered November and may soon hear the bells of the Huawei Mate 70 series launch. Stay tuned.

The post Huawei Mate 70 series likely to feature improved battery life appeared first on Huawei Central.

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.

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…

Wall Street Journal reports that the Huawei Pura 70 series shipments have crossed 6.5 million units. The OEM launched the respective lineup in April this year, bringing it to global markets in May. On both sides, the devices performed well in sales.

Huawei has expected to ship 10 million units of Pura 70 models this year. Based on the current revelations, it seems the Chinese tech giant could achieve the shipment goal by the end of 2024, marking a new milestone in the smartphone market.

The Pura 70 smartphones have been giving a tough bang to Apple iPhones in China. It significantly affected the iPhone 15 series sales in the Chinese smartphone market due to its impressive camera design, high-end features, and Kirin 5G chip.

During the HarmonyOS NEXT launch event, Huawei announced that the Pura 70 series sales in the first three quarters increased by 154%. This rise has eventually boosted the company’s flagship smartphone shipment by 71% year-on-year.

Huawei Consumer Business Group Chairman – Yu Chengdong says that the Pura 70 series shipment has upgraded the level of the company in the competition.

Despite U.S. sanctions, the tech giant continued to adopt advanced techs and features for its devices. Kirin 9010 5G for Pura 70 Ultra is the best example of this scenario. It uproots on 7nm process but offers optimized performance over previous chips.

The company is also ditching foreign components to a significant extent, supporting its native suppliers. A teardown reveals that Pura 70 series has more China-made parts than the Mate 60 smartphones and other previous-gen handsets.

Huawei is pacing slowly but steadily in the smartphone race. After the Pura 70 series, consumers have locked their eyes on the Mate 70. It would be worth seeing what major changes the next lineup will bring to boost Huawei’s sales revenue.

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.

The Chinese tech giant has shared a new poster on the Huawei Mall for the Nova 13 series. The image highlights the standard and Pro models with a price question:

“Price: ¥2??9/¥3??9 | Pre-order to win a gift | Post your order and stand a chance to win starry handbags”

Note that the 2xx9 yuan price is for standard whereas the 3xx9 yuan is for the Pro variant. It indicates that the Huawei Nova 13 series starting price will be below 3000 yuan. It’s a relief to those who thought the cost may exceed 3000 yuan this time.

Last year, Huawei launched three models in the Nova 12 series: Standard, Pro, and Ultra. A Lite version also accompanied the lineup. These devices start pricing at:

• Nova 12 Lite (256GB) – 2499 yuan
• Nova 12 (256GB) – 2999 yuan
• Nova 12 Pro (256GB) – 3999 yuan
• Nova 12 Ultra (512GB) – 4699 yuan

Judging from the new posters and price of the Nova 12/12 Pro, it seems the Nova 13 series may bear the same cost tag as its predecessors. To know the exact details, we have to wait till the official unveiling of both smartphones.

Nova 13 Series

Huawei Nova 13 series will debut on October 22 alongside HarmonyOS NEXT. A few leaks say that the new smartphone lineup will come with the HarmonyOS 4.4 software system out of the box. The respective version has been in rumors for a long while.

Apart from software, the devices could feature upgraded camera sensors and imaging features to enhance the photography experience. A Kirin 5G chipset with better performance improvements is also expected with the Huawei Nova 13 series.

DigitalChatStation shared the Huawei Mate X6 screen protector image. He adds that the peripheral materials (here, accessories) of the new foldable are ready.

By looking at the image, we can see that the Huawei Mate X6 will have a rounded-corners display. The screen part mostly appears flat but slightly curved due to the plastic wrapping. Speaking of the bezels around the screen, it appears quite narrow.

An early leak suggested the Huawei Mate X6 will use a super flat display for effective visuals. The device could also use the UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) panel to offer a comfortable feel on the hands. The latest leak confirms this point to some extent.

Overall appearance of the front side seems a bit different from previous-gen models. The tech giant might also have saved changes for the backend of the foldable, which is still a mystery. The company won’t take much time to show the device.

Note that the front single punch-hole design is missing from the screen protector. The details on this matter will get clear with more revelations.

Mate X6 accessories hints that Huawei is all set to unveil the new foldable next month. The device may launch alongside or a few days later from the Mate 70 series unveiling. The company hasn’t confirmed the release date yet for this folding phone.

After the Mate 70 series, Mate X6 could be the next to adopt HarmonyOS NEXT. The new software system is running in the public beta phase for selected devices and will go stable with the flagship Mate 70 smartphone launch.

Coming back, the Mate X6 may also introduce a new Kirin 5G chip, AI capabilities, and some upgraded satellite features. It might use the same circular camera design as the predecessor but with better imaging capabilities.

Other parameters of the device are unknown but we will keep you posted with the latest details, leaks, and revelations on this matter.
