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.

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 company has been offering gifts to HarmonyOS NEXT beta users since August this year. It initially launched the “Music and Movie” benefits for testers.

Now Huawei is offering free Super Music VIP membership to HarmonyOS NEXT beta users for 31 days. One who has upgraded to the HarmonyOS NEXT testing version can visit the Music app on their device > Tap on Me > NEXT user upgrade gift.

The new activity brings some membership-exclusive benefits to users. For instance, they can explore unlimited songs, download them for free, and more.

Benefits of Super Music VIP service are:

• Member Music Library
• Lossless sound quality
• Free download
• Smart TV privileges
• Speaker privileges
• Advertising Privileges

Users who have never participated in any HarmonyOS NEXT Upgrade Gift activity including the August event will receive the 31-day Super Music VIP for free.

Note that HarmonyOS NEXT users who have participated in the “Upgrade Gift” event earlier are not eligible for this activity. In case they try to opt for this service, they will get the “Failed to receive the benefit” notification on the device’s screen.

If you have just upgraded your device to the HarmonyOS NEXT beta then you may face issues to claim the benefit. If so, re-enter the event page after 10-15 minutes.

In case the problem persists, log into your Huawei account again and restart the Music app.

Huawei is busy with the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta preparations. But it seems the company could announce one more product alongside the software offering.

Tipster @BadReviewEmperor says that the Huawei Nova 13 series and Honor X60 teaser will likely be out on October 8. Both devices are ready to debut this month and the respective brands could officially announce these handsets tomorrow.

Nova 13 series was expected to launch in June this year. Later, it was delayed till August and is now speculated to debut this month. The Chinese tech giant might finally showcase the new high-end models with impressive design and features.

A previous leak implied that the Nova 13 lineup could release on October 22. Thus, the latest information also adds consent to the nearing launch of Nova 13.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed the launch details for the Nova 13 models so far. But if the current leak is true, the company may announce or tease the new Nova handsets tomorrow alongside the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program for eligible devices.

The Nova 13 series could bring an upgraded appearance over the Nova 12 handsets. It may feature new capabilities and enhanced satellite features with better connectivity. Perhaps, users will experience a more seamless satellite performance.

Earlier, a tipster said that Huawei Nova 13 series will run on the Kirin 9010 chipset and will be 5G capable. It would be a great piece of news as the Nova 12 series did not have 5G capability for all models. It remains confined to high-end variants.

Consumers may find the same dual-front camera setup as the previous-gen models. Although Huawei might enhance this segment with an upgraded XMAGE imaging system. Read More…

Supply chain sources stated that the company has been taking Mate 70 components for assembly. As of now, several Huawei Mate 70 models have landed in the mass production stage. It seems that the launch speculations are finally about to end.

Further details say that the device and its manufacturing process may be completed by the end of the next month. Thus, the Mate 70 launch guesses appear quite on track, and Huawei could unveil this flagship smartphone lineup by November.

Early inputs suggested that the Huawei Mate 70 series is larger than its predecessors. The overall stock volume is around 40-50% more than the Mate 60 flagship.

Huawei is probably avoiding problems faced with the Mate 60 series. The previous-gen models struggled due to short-supply challenges. Hence, the company has been working on the Mate 70 shipment and stock volume matters for a long time.

• Huawei Mate 70 series stock capacity may increase by 40-50% over Mate 60

Huawei Mate 60 series launched in August 2023, competing with the iPhone 15 series. Keeping that in mind, many consumers expected to see the next Mate lineup by September, having a showdown with the iPhone 16 models.

However, the company pushed back the Mate 70 launch due to hardware and software issues. Some inputs revealed that the Mate 70 series is taking time to adapt to the new HarmonyOS NEXT operating system.

On the other hand, the next-gen Kirin 5G chip is rumored to face production problems in the house. But the mass production news confirms that the Mate 70 series is all set to debut on the consumer platform by October-end or November 2024.

This year, the Mate 70 flagship has been delayed significantly. The reason for that could be a busy schedule including the recently introduced tri-fold Mate XT.

However, it could also mean that the company is buying much-needed time to gather all required components for sufficient smartphone supplies.

A previous report revealed that the Chinese tech maker is improving the hardware and software experience of the next-gen Mate series smartphones. Therefore, the unveiling has slipped from the prior date.

On the other hand, Huawei’s supply chain is making separate progress and confirmed that the work on the new Mate 70 components achieved a new milestone.

A supplier told Chinese media that the mass production for ordered components had already started this month (September). The supply chain sources also speculate that the new smartphones could launch in November. The people related to this matter said that more new progress is expected by the end of October.

Last year, Huawei released the Mate 60 series in August to compete against the iPhone 15 launch and the unveiling was quite successful. This year, the slot was claimed by Mate XT, and the Nova 13 series is expected to launch in October.

Huawei Mate 70

Previous reports suggest that the Huawei Mate 70 lineup will use 3D facial recognition technology and a quad curve display similar to the previous generation.

The company has planned to release both small and large screen variants. The camera is likely to remain circled in the top center of the rear panel and it will use a single periscope design.

Furthermore, Huawei Mate 70 will introduce new materials and design schemes for a better user experience. It will also become the first smartphone to pre-equip the new HarmonyOS NEXT operating system.

The tech giant announced the news during the Huawei September 2024 launch event for wearables. As per the details, HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program will launch on October 8. Users can prepare their phones for this new testing activity.

Public Beta refers to a testing program that allows a large number of users to explore and inspect a new software version before its official rollout. This program aims to further improve the software based on the feedback or reported issues.

HarmonyOS NEXT has been in beta versions for a few months. Huawei launched the first developer beta after the HDC 2024 event. By August 2024, the company opened the closed beta program for more devices like Pura 70, Pocket 2, etc.

A few days ago, a Huawei official – Chen Xinxin stated that Huawei will launch the HarmonyOS NEXT stable by the end of this month. The news reported by local media resulted in several online rumors. Some tipsters refuted the information saying that Huawei will release HarmonyOS NEXT stable in October.

The mist is finally clear. The company is now ready to initiate the first HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program. Perhaps, the stable version may launch by October-end. Huawei could also directly introduce it with the Mate 70 flagship in November.

Inputs further reveal that the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta first batch will contain three device series: Mate 60 series, Mate X5 series, and the MatePad Pro 13.2.

These models are currently compatible with the native HarmonyOS public beta. But Huawei may soon bring more devices to the public testing list. For instance, Pura 70 phones, Pocket 2 foldable, FreeBuds Pro 3, MatePad Pro 11, and more.

How to register?

The corresponding device owners can apply for the public test through the My Huawei App. Just go to the Me section, select Join Project, and tap on the available Beta Program. Fill in your details and tap on the submit button.

Users can also share their suggestions, and feedback, or report issues using the My Huawei App or the official Huawei Community.

Early news said that Chen Xinxin – a Huawei official confirmed the release of HarmonyOS NEXT by the end of this month. But later, a tipster refuted this input saying that consumers have to wait till October to experience the new software.

Now @FixedFocus has said that HarmonyOS NEXT stable version could launch by mid-October. The tipster mentioned that HarmonyOS NEXT will battle with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Judging from this statement, it seems the software may launch before Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship chipset.

Qualcomm is expected to unveil its new chip around October 21st. Perhaps, HarmonyOS NEXT may go official before this date. A few netizens said that Huawei might release the stable version right after the Spring Festival (from October 1 to 7).

Thus, we have an expected timeline for HarmonyOS NEXT stable launch: October 8 to 20. However, only Huawei can confirm the accuracy of these revelations.

If we look back, Huawei began rolling out the HarmonyOS 4 stable version in August 2023. But this time, the story is different as HarmonyOS NEXT is a real and self-developed operating system. It is free of traditional Android components like Linux.

The software is also faster, smoother, and safer than its previous versions. At the same time, the company is trying to adapt native HarmonyOS apps for a more convenient and reliable user experience.

Yu Chengdong confirmed that HarmonyOS NEXT stable version will meet consumers in Spring. Hence, the software development and current leaks seem on the right track. Things will get more clear in the coming days. Till then, you can have a look at HarmonyOS NEXT capabilities below.

On September 10, Huawei unveiled a tri-fold Mate XT Ultimate Design smartphone, followed by new smartwatches for global customers on September 19. Then, an Autumn event is also set for Chinese customers on September 24.

Tipster DigitalChatStation has shared a roadmap of the alleged launch timeline for these upcoming devices starting with Nova 13.

It is said that the Huawei Nova 13 series will be released in October. Last year, Huawei revealed the Nova 12 lineup in December and it was the first Nova smartphone featuring a new Kirin chipset. Previous Nova devices only used Snapdragon chipset (after the US ban).

The lineup has three devices – Nova 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Ultra. These three phones come with a 60MP front-facing and a 50MP rear camera system.

The company is likely to bring similar models this year with the Nova 13, Nova 13 Pro, and Nova 13 Ultra. These will offer slightly improved specifications and a new design scheme.

Mate 70 and Mate X6

Huawei is saving its flagship Mate 70 series for later this year and it could be unveiled in November alongside Mate X6.

In August 2023, Huawei released Mate 60 and 60 Pro through a Pioneer program. Allowing customers to buy this new device without organizing a video conference. This was the first lineup in four years to feature a new Kirin chipset.

Previous reports suggest that Huawei has new plans for the Mate 70 series and it will bring a couple of new technologies to reflect the hardware and software side of the devices.

On the other hand, Huawei Mate X6 will equip a dual-fold experience for those who want to upgrade from the Mate X5 released last year.

For now, Huawei has not officially announced the Nova 13 launch in October of the later flagship devices. However, we’ll keep you posted with new revelations on this matter.

Apart from improvements, the company has added a new security patch to the device. This addition will eliminate anonymous bugs or privacy threats from the phone’s system. It also strengthens the phone’s current health against harmful issues.

The September 2024 update for the Huawei Nova 12 Lite is rolling out with the HarmonyOS 4.2.0.145 version. We suggest using a standard Wi-Fi connection and having sufficient storage space in the device to download the latest firmware.

Looking into the changelog, the company has optimized the sound and network aspects. It improves certain configurations to offer better and smoother connections. The sound experience will be more immersive than the previous versions.

Other points include improved app experience and camera effects. Users may get more vibrant and crisp shots after installing the new build. Check the changelog below.
