As of now, most of the top domestic smartphone manufacturers have launched their latest flagship models. In terms of pricing, there are both expected and unexpected results. In fact, competition among manufacturers has only just begun. Currently, only the main brands are on the market. Once sub-brands, which also use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and offer better value for money, are fully rolled out, the entire smartphone market competition will truly become fierce. No smartphone manufacturer can easily win in this competition, especially for later entrants. Due to the loss of first-mover advantage, winning will be even more difficult for these models.
Huawei is one of them. Regardless of Huawei's previous actions, even the Mate XT can only be considered an appetizer. Everyone knows that the real main course is the Mate 70 series. Although there have been many leaks online, everyone still hopes to see official news. Today, Yu Chengdong personally released news, officially confirming that the Mate 70 will be released in November but did not specify the exact date.
Since the month has been specified, it is possible to guess when the Mate 70 series will be released. In addition to Yu Chengdong's official announcement, there are also online rumors that the Mate 70 has already been shipped to dealers, proving that the new phone is ready for pre-sales. However, it is strictly prohibited to open the box in advance, with a fine of at least 500,000 yuan (more severe than Apple's penalties). Since the phones have already been shipped, it is unlikely that they will remain at the dealers for a long time without any movement. Personally, I guess it will be released and pre-sales will begin around the 10th.
It is said that Huawei, like Apple, is a manufacturer that generates its own traffic. This statement is indeed true. Early this morning, three news related to the Mate 70 appeared on the trending list, with one even topping the list. In a sense, Huawei is even more powerful because while Apple also frequently appears on trending lists, it has never topped the list, proving that the entire internet is eagerly awaiting the release of the Mate 70.
Regarding functional configuration, some guesses can be made. As the "most powerful in history," it is natural to first experience it on the chip, proving that the new generation of Kirin chips will debut on the Mate 70. Without surprise, it should be the legendary Kirin 9100. HarmonyOS is also an important guarantee for being "the most powerful in history." In a sense, its importance even surpasses that of the Kirin chip because compared to the latest chips from competitors, the Kirin chip is still likely to have a generational gap. However, HarmonyOS can give the Mate 70 infinite possibilities.
In addition, the entire Mate 70 series will support 3D facial recognition, side fingerprint recognition, and satellite communication. There have long been rumors that the Mate 70 will be the first truly 100% domestically produced smartphone. Whether this can be achieved remains to be seen through subsequent teardown tests. However, personally, considering Huawei's current special circumstances, similar to the launch of HarmonyOS, achieving a 100% domestic production rate is possible. As for what other black technologies are in Huawei's hands, it won't be long before we find out.
Regarding pricing, if the Mate 70 can maintain the same starting price as its predecessor despite the general price increase among competitors, it will also be a significant selling point.
