As the Huawei Mate 70 series, the highly anticipated annual flagship product, approaches its release date, speculation and leaks about its specifications continue to heat up. According to recent reliable information, the Mate 70 series not only achieves another breakthrough in core performance but also brings significant upgrades in battery life, photography, and operating system levels, promising an unprecedented user experience for consumers.

Firstly, the most noteworthy aspect is that the Huawei Mate 70 series will debut with the brand-new HarmonyOS NEXT, marking it as the most powerful pure-blooded HarmonyOS flagship.

It is reported that HarmonyOS NEXT effectively integrates software, hardware, chips, and cloud through a brand-new architecture design, resulting in a 30% boost in overall device performance compared to HarmonyOS 4, equivalent to a two-generation advancement in chip process technology.

Concurrently, the all-new distributed software bus significantly enhances connection speed by three times, increases the number of connected devices by fourfold, and optimizes power consumption by over 20%.

Furthermore, through the EROFS file system, HarmonyOS NEXT elevates random read performance by 1.2x to 3x, potentially saving users 2GB of storage space. The Ark Graphics Engine amplifies 2D drawing performance by 26% while reducing power consumption by 10%.

In addition, the Mate 70 series screens are anticipated to range from 6.7 to 6.8 inches, boasting a resolution of 1.5K. Compared to the Huawei Pura 70 series, the standard edition features a slightly larger screen, while the Ultra version aligns with the Mate 70 in size.

It is understood that the Huawei Mate 70 series will adopt a different strategy from the Mate 60 series, with the standard and Pro versions differing slightly in screen size. The smaller screen on the Mate 70 standard edition offers consumers more options in screen size while potentially reducing costs and making it more affordable.

In terms of photography, the Mate 70 series will incorporate more domestic components. Specifically, the primary camera will utilize OmniVision's 1-inch sensor module, which outperforms the IMX 989 in practical performance.

For biometric authentication, the Mate 70 series employs a side-mounted physical fingerprint solution renowned for its fast recognition speed and high accuracy. However, this solution has usage limitations, primarily suitable for right-handed thumbs and less convenient than in-display fingerprint technology. The series also maintains 3D face recognition capabilities.

Additionally, Mingmei Infinite understands that the Huawei Mate 70 series is likely to be unveiled in November this year, roughly two months later than the Mate 60 series. This delay is primarily attributed to the integration of the new HarmonyOS NEXT, which necessitates extensive adaptation efforts.

Worth mentioning, Huawei is also preparing a tablet, expected to be released alongside the Mate 70 series in November. Drawing from previous Huawei Full scene press conference , the Mate 70 series' launch may coincide with the introduction of new laptops, tablets, smart screens, and wearable devices.

Incidentally, market research firm TechInsights revealed that Huawei's global smartphone shipments increased by 49% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024, reaching 11.6 million units. Due to the substantial proportion of high-end models (Mate and Pura series), both average selling price (ASP) and wholesale revenue reached all-time highs. The Chinese market remains Huawei's primary market, accounting for 89% of its global smartphone shipments.

TechInsights attributes Huawei's global shipment growth primarily to the Asia-Pacific region, with China playing a pivotal role. In this quarter, Huawei ranked third in China's smartphone market. However, the below-expectation growth indicates challenges in pricing strategies, quality control, and system optimization. More likely, obstacles faced by Apple in China, particularly Apple Intelligence, may still leave room for Huawei's growth in the premium segment of the local market.

Final summary of Mate 70 series leaks:

Performance: Kirin 9020

Screen: 6.7-6.8-inch curved display with 1.5K resolution and triple punch-hole design
