As September approaches, the technology industry gradually enters the flagship product launch season in the second half of the year, and Huawei has made early preparations, announcing that it will unveil its new car and full-ecosystem lineup on August 5th and 6th, marking the official start of its new product update cycle across the entire product line. Meanwhile, rumors about Huawei's flagship series for the second half of the year—the Mate70 series—have intensified.
First, the Huawei Mate 70 series will include four versions: Standard, Pro, Pro+, and RS Porsche Design, with the RS version continuing its unique "Bagua Array" design, while the other versions maintain the Star Ring design.
It's worth noting that the Pro+ version may adopt titanium metal materials, which not only enhances the overall texture of the phone but also provides users with a more robust and durable experience.
Furthermore, the Huawei Mate 70 series will introduce one straight screen model and three slightly curved screens, with screen sizes ranging from 6.7 to 6.8 inches and a resolution of 1.5K. The screens will use an ultra-hard AR coating, advertised as "Basalt Coating," and introduce the new Basalt 2.0 technology to improve durability and scratch resistance. Meanwhile, the front of the screens will continue the previous generation's three-hole punch design, integrating a 3D ToF facial recognition system.
Apart from the screen, the Huawei Mate 70's most notable features are its SoC and system. The Huawei Mate 70 will be equipped with a brand-new Kirin platform, offering a significant performance boost over the previous generation, positioning it among the top tier. It will also debut the HarmonyOS NEXT operating system, featuring a brand-new Harmony kernel, distinguishing it completely from Android.
Speaking of HarmonyOS NEXT, the Mate 70 series' system is also a focus of external attention. At Huawei's HDC2024 Developer Conference, Richard Yu officially announced that the Huawei Mate 70 series would be released in the fourth quarter of this year, premiering with the official version of HarmonyOS NEXT. This announcement echoes Xu Zhijun's aspiration, who stated that Huawei's goal is to achieve full application of "Pure HarmonyOS" by the time the Mate 70 series goes on sale.
Pure HarmonyOS is now open for beta testing to developers and early adopters. After experiencing machines running Pure HarmonyOS, many bloggers have reported smoother performance, improved animation effects, and better background preservation capabilities compared to the existing HarmonyOS. Theoretically, the official version will be more mature, stable, and refined, making it highly anticipated.
It's worth mentioning that according to previous leaks, the stockpile of the Huawei Mate70 series is expected to increase by 40% to 50% compared to the Huawei Mate60 series.
Such a significant increase in stockpile implies a greater alleviation of supply constraints. For those interested in the Huawei Mate70 series, it may no longer be necessary to rush purchases or pay premiums, reducing the difficulty of acquisition.
In terms of imaging, the standard version of the Mate 70 series is expected to use the OV50H sensor, while other versions will use the OV50K. The OV50K boasts a 50MP 1/1.3" sensor size, LOFIC technology, and a super-large variable aperture.
Regarding unlocking methods, Huawei adopted a short-focus fingerprint unlocking solution in the Mate 60 series, which didn't receive positive feedback. Early rumors about the Mate 70 series suggested an ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking solution, and some bloggers claimed that Huawei had essentially resolved issues with the ultrasonic solution. However, when recently asked about the fingerprint unlocking method of the Mate 70, the response was an "unexpected unlocking solution" that many people wouldn't think of. Meanwhile, news that a flagship phone would adopt a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor led some netizens to speculate that the Mate 70 might use this solution, leaving its fingerprint unlocking method a mystery.
There are many other leaks about the Mate 70 series, but most lack conclusive evidence. For instance, rumors include a larger X-axis linear motor, significantly narrower screen bezels, and improvements to edge light leakage and color cast issues. It's essential to note that these leaks may undergo significant changes during the engineering prototype testing phase, and most information may not solidify until August.
Additionally, recent news suggests that the Huawei Mate70 series' launch may be delayed until November, potentially tied to the progress of adapting proprietary hardware and software. Meanwhile, leaks indicate that the Mate70 series will maintain the essence of previous designs while innovating in the camera area with metal stud elements, aiming to reduce scratches and enhance overall aesthetics.
In conclusion, the Huawei Mate70 demonstrates robust capabilities and an innovative spirit across performance, system, imaging, screen, and fingerprint solutions. Its arrival undoubtedly brings a new wave of technology to the market. If you have high demands and expectations for mobile phones, the upcoming Huawei Mate70 is definitely worth considering. Let's eagerly anticipate the official launch of this flagship product and witness another leap in technology.
