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.

91Mobiles reported that a new Huawei patent has been published on the CNIPA database. The prints highlight a new design for a triple foldable smartphone.

However, the design and mechanism is quite different from the champion Mate XT. The patent implies that Huawei plans to make a new foldable with a rotating mechanism. It shows a rotating panel on both ends for unfolding the device.

The interesting part of this patent is that it (say the third panel) seemingly has a protective case. When folded completely, the device seems like a tri-fold handset.

Although the third side looks like a protective case for one of the screens. In terms of form factor, the device seems to bear a rectangular shape in an unfolded state.

Meanwhile, some other pictures show it in a classic book-type foldable design. It is unclear if Huawei will bring such a folding format into the real world. However, the overall twists and turns of this distinct “rotating foldable” look quite amazing.

Note that patent refers to what inventions a company is planning for its consumers. Although it doesn’t confirm the existence of such products officially.

Huawei launched the world’s first triple-foldable Mate XT last month. The company has initiated a new folding phone line and could add more models to it in the future. Perhaps, we may find this new rotating-style device in the time ahead.
