For Huawei, which once competed with Apple and Samsung in the global mobile phone market, the past few years have indeed been fraught with difficulties beyond the imagination of outsiders. Due to special reasons, despite Huawei's best efforts, it has indeed been difficult for Huawei phones to break into the international market in the short term, and there is a certain gap compared to the top flagship models of competitors in some functional configurations. Apart from the CPU chip, Huawei phones have received strong support from domestic suppliers in other aspects. Coupled with the start of the HarmonyOS system and the good start of the Mate 60 series last year, Huawei phones have managed to survive.
A smooth start is indeed important, but for sustained development, subsequent models are equally crucial. Although the nova and Pura series have supplemented sales this year, everyone knows that the upcoming Mate 70 series is the most important. Yu Chengdong has previously announced that the most powerful Mate model in history is coming soon. Although it is almost certain that it will be released in November, there is still no news about its functional configuration. However, the latest revelations are already available online.
A well-known leaker has released information online. Although the leaker did not specify the model (such leaks generally do not specify the model and rely mainly on speculation), netizens unanimously believe that it is referring to the Mate 70 Pro. The screen maintains its consistent high quality, which is not surprising. What is unexpected is the device identification method. Side fingerprint recognition has been largely abandoned by domestic phone manufacturers, especially for high-end models, without exception. However, the Mate 70 Pro will use side fingerprint recognition. It remains to be seen if there will be any new tricks.
The combination of ToF 3D facial recognition and AON is quite interesting. The former is a more secure facial recognition method, which has always been available in Huawei's high-end models. AON mainly protects privacy. If the device detects that the screen is being viewed by someone other than the owner, some private content will be automatically hidden.
In terms of imaging, there is no change in camera pixel count, and the main change is in the sensor. Since Yu Chengdong said it is the "most powerful in history," the shooting capability is bound to be upgraded. Finally, a periscope telephoto lens will be used. The battery capacity of the previous model was 5000mAh, which was considered low. Although it has been revealed that this time it will be less than 6000mAh, it should be no problem to exceed 5500mAh.
It is unclear whether the full configuration mentioned in the leak, including wired and wireless charging and dust and water resistance, means that the non-full configuration version will lack one of these three functions. In fact, what people are most looking forward to has not appeared in the leak. There is nothing much to say about the system; it will definitely be the pure-blooded HarmonyOS. However, there is still no news about the chip that everyone is most concerned about. It is estimated that there will be no detailed explanation at the press conference, and there is a high probability that it will be leaked by a third party, just like the previous model.
Regarding the price, competitors have all collectively increased their prices, so there is no reason for Huawei not to do the same. However, the extent of the price increase is expected to follow the trend. Personally, I estimate that the maximum increase will be 300 yuan.
