According to @BeijingDigitalMaster, the Huawei Mate 70 series won’t be able to match the superiority of the premium Mate 40 devices, yet the overall performance will be close enough. Thus, the new models could deliver better functioning.

The tipster also shows an estimation, implying that the Mate 70 series would be supreme to the Mate 60. However, it could be slightly inferior to the Mate 40 models.

So far, the Chinese tech giant has always shown its Mate products as the most powerful devices in the smartphone line. Among several units, the Huawei Mate 40 and its variants still count as one of the best flagship handsets in the market.

Even though Huawei made a powerful comeback with the rebirth of the Kirin 5G chips and Mate 60 Pro, the Mate 40 lineup still holds a special space in consumers’ hearts.

There is still a lot of time for the Huawei Mate 70 series launch and hence it would not be appropriate to comment on this issue right now. Moreover, the new lineup is likely to possess advanced capabilities that may later change the current perspective.

Previous Reports:

Huawei Mate 70 series is hearsay to use a new 5G+ network technology with better connectivity experience. Another interesting addition to this lineup could be the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor which is currently under development.

Compared to other fingerprint scanners, the ultrasonic components ensure a clear and accurate scanning of your fingers even when they are dirty or wet.

Last but not least, Huawei may sport strong AI and NearLink facilities with the Mate 70 smartphones. Although the company hasn’t confirmed these rumors, there is a high chance to find these technologies with the approaching flagship phones.

The past:

It was in 2020 when Huawei introduced both P40 and Mate 40 series with such celebration. These two are the last flagship with 5G capabilities. At that time, Huawei ensured that these phones stand out among the fittest and delivered up to the mark.

GMS:

For those who are still confused on this matter, the upcoming Huawei smartphones won’t support Google Mobile Services (GMS) instead they will solely operate with Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) and AppGallery.

The future:

With all of these latest developments, we can say that Huawei is bringing back the vibes of the flagship launch events for global customers, which it was forced to give up two years ago.

It is recommended to charge the phone with the screen off for more than 2 hours after the upgrade is complete (it is best to charge it overnight with the screen off), and then restart the phone to ensure that the mobile phone application is quickly adapted.
