Weibo tipster @DigitalChatStation says that Huawei is ready to unveil the Mate 70 series in mid-November. The company is gearing up the launch preparations.

The new Mate lineup will bring four models: Standard, Pro, Pro+, and Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design. The camera framework is likely to be similar to the leaked lens cover.

Mate 70 series handsets may have the Mate 50-like camera module. Meanwhile, the RS Ultimate Design variant will have the signature lens bump.

Speaking of the design, the tipster says that the Huawei Mate 70 series will have a thinner, narrower, and more rounded look than Mate 60 models. It will ease the holding scenarios, making the grip much better as well as more comfortable.

Mate 60 phones are slightly wider than Mate 50. It offers a huge screen for better visuals. But when it comes to holding the device, the Mate 60 series appears a problem to many users. Although Huawei might solve this issue with the next lineup.

The latest leak hints that the phone maker will improve the overall device-holding experience with the Mate 70 smartphones. Apart from a slimmer and narrower design, the new handsets could also feature more rounded corners than before.

It’s November and expectations to witness the Mate 70 unveiling this month have reached at peak. During the HDC 2024 event, Huawei said that the new flagship will launch in Q4 2024 but an exact time has been awaiting for months.

Although the wait could end after the Double 11 Sale event. A few leaks say that Huawei may launch the Mate 70 series around November 20. Let’s wait for some more days to catch the official glimpse of the new devices.

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.

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.

The device supports HarmonyOS features like fraud prevention on calls, earthquake early warning alerts, and more. Perhaps the new phone will also bring more enhanced features over the standard and Pro variants.

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.

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 latest picture leak comes from Weibo and shows the camera cover of all Mate 70 series models. It implies that the next lineup has four variants: standard, Pro, Pro+, and the RS Ultimate Design. All these models reflect a familiar lens cutout.

This time, the lens arrangement looks like the Huawei Mate 50 lineup but with a slightly increased radius. While the standard and Pro models have a circular camera cover, the Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate shows the same octagonal design.

Let’s explore the lens setup in detail.

Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design will feature the signature octa-edges camera framework. The edges look quite sharp and clear with rounded corners. Inside the frame, you will see four lens openings with a separate void for the LED flash.

Apart from these openings, the camera cover shows three more holes (one extra than the Pro variants). These holes might act as the color temperature lens, a laser focus sensor, or a proximity light sensor for relevant purposes.

Another change in the camera cover is the lens arrangement. The previous-gen Mate 60 RS Ultimate features a rhombus lens setup with a lot of space at the center.

The big void is also visible in the Mate 50 RS phones. But the Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design may break this rule with the squarely-arranged lenses, placed close to each other. The in-between space will likely be covered with significant components.

Other three models may also get notable changes in the camera module, over the previous-gen devices. The leak further hints that Huawei Mate 70 handsets may adopt a quad-camera setup this time. But the news is still unconfirmed and we have to wait for the official parameters, which may be unveiled by the next month.

Early rumors claimed that the Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design could ditch the double-stitching look. It may wear a full ceramic back panel, flaunting a mesmerizing look.

The device could also adopt major upgrades for the display panel. Huawei may use a dual-layer OLED for the Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design.
