Autumn has quietly arrived, and major mobile phone brands are gearing up to showcase their latest achievements in this harvest season. Among the many new phones, the Huawei Mate 70 series is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching ones. Today, let's talk about this highly anticipated new flagship and see what highlights and secret weapons it has.
First, according to domestic media reports, Huawei is expected to launch its annual flagship Mate 70 series around November this year, and now the design and configuration of the Pro version have emerged online. From the pictures exposed online, the design of Mate 70 Pro is completely ahead of the previous generation, with features such as the "AI-DC" marking on the rear main camera and the LED flash moved from the top to the bottom. The exposed specifications also show that the front camera of Mate 70 Pro has been increased from 32 megapixels in Mate 60 Pro to 48 megapixels now. On the back, Mate 70 Pro features a 60MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens. In terms of configuration, in addition to the upgrade of the imaging system, Mate70 Pro has also achieved a qualitative leap in internal hardware. According to reports, the phone will be equipped with a new Kirin 9100 chipset, marking another significant upgrade after the Kirin 9000S in Mate60 Pro. The Kirin 9100 chipset not only boasts more powerful processing capabilities but also offers better energy efficiency and enhanced AI functions. This means that Mate70 Pro can effortlessly handle complex tasks, run large applications, or engage in high-intensity gaming while maintaining excellent battery life. It can be said that the new Kirin 9100 chipset represents a significant upgrade over the Kirin 9000S in Mate 60 Pro in terms of performance, allowing Huawei to reclaim its position at the forefront of performance. Furthermore, in terms of the system, HarmonyOS NEXT can be understood as a pure-blood version of Hongmeng. One of its biggest highlights is that its system base is entirely self-developed, removing traditional AOSP code and supporting only Hongmeng kernel and Hongmeng system applications without compatibility with Android applications. This allows Huawei to better manage various applications, significantly improving fluency and security. In terms of ecosystem, Yu Chengdong announced at a recent Huawei press conference that the number of devices running Hongmeng has surpassed 800 million, supporting 180 smart devices and enjoying a brand recognition rate of 88%. It is worth mentioning that the latest news reports that the adaptation of WeChat to Huawei's pure-blood Hongmeng system, Harmony OS Next, is accelerating, and most of the adaptation work has been completed, with the official version soon to be released to users. In addition to WeChat, other Tencent mobile applications are also in the process of adaptation. Sources indicate that WeChat features such as mini-programs will require some time. If everything goes smoothly, users can expect to use WeChat directly in the official version of HarmonyOS NEXT. Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, previously stated that the official version of pure-blood Hongmeng will debut alongside the launch of the Huawei Mate 70 series in the fourth quarter of this year. At that time, the WeChat app is also expected to be launched simultaneously, providing users with a brand-new experience. In addition, some reports suggest that the Hongmeng version of WeChat may be a simplified version, containing only some core functions of WeChat. With the release of the official version, all WeChat functions will be fully restored. Moreover, according to the latest data released by research firm Counterpoint Research, Huawei's Hongmeng HarmonyOS market share in China has risen from 8% in the first quarter of 2023 to 17% in the first quarter of 2024, while iOS's share has declined from 20% to 16%. This means that Huawei's Hongmeng HarmonyOS has surpassed Apple's iOS for the first time in the Chinese market, becoming the second-largest operating system in China. Finally, let's talk about pricing, which is likely of utmost interest to many. The previous-generation Huawei Mate 60 series started at 5499 yuan for the 12GB+256GB model, so the Mate 70 series, with its numerous upgrades, is expected to be priced slightly higher. There are reports that the entry-level price of the Huawei Mate 70 series will start at 5999 yuan, with the Pro version starting at 6999 yuan. In conclusion, the launch of Huawei Mate 70 Pro is undoubtedly set to create a new trend in the smartphone market. With significant upgrades and innovations in imaging, performance, design, user experience, and security, it emerges as a true flagship smartphone. For consumers, Mate 70 Pro is undoubtedly a highly anticipated choice, offering not only high-quality smartphone capabilities but also a smarter, more convenient, and secure user experience. In the future smartphone market, Huawei Mate 70 Pro is poised to become a star product attracting much attention. However, it's important to note that these details are still based on rumors. Apart from the probable pre-installation of HarmonyOS NEXT (pure-blood Hongmeng) at launch, all other hardware information should be confirmed by official announcements. ?
