Huawei Mate 70 series to bring major camera, battery upgrades over Mate 60

Huawei is finally ready to introduce its Mate 70 series among consumers with major camera, chip, and battery upgrades. This time, the new lineup will likely be ‘far ahead’ of the previous-generation devices in at least five key specifications.

DigitalChatStation implies that the Huawei Mate 70 series will have major battery, chip, and camera upgrades over the Mate 60 flagship. It will also bring new unlocking solutions and advanced software capabilities for a better user experience.

Battery

Starting with the battery, the device will use a high-density silicon cell to keep it alive for long hours even under typical use. The battery capacity is unknown. It is said to be less than 6000mAh but may offer better power efficiency than the Mate 60.

Camera

Mate 70 series will likely feature a 50MP large variable aperture main lens with enhanced features. It may equip a new imaging chip for improved photo/video quality.

An early leak suggested that the standard model could use the OmniVision OV50H primary shooter. Other top variants may adopt the OV50K lens that relies on LOFIC technology and delivers faster autofocus, HDR, and better low-light performance.

Chip

It is unclear if Huawei Mate 70 will come with a 5nm or 7nm chip. Earlier, the company said that it would focus on improving the existing tech rather than launching a new one. However, rumors for a new 5nm Kirin are in full swing.

Also, the tipster hinted that the new processor will likely have stronger energy efficiency than previous versions. Thus, we can expect a new and powerful chipset with the Mate 70 smartphones.

Unlocking Solution

Mate 70 series will bring two major unlocking solutions: fingerprint and 3D face recognition. The former is expected to use ultrasonic tech this time for more clear and safer unlocking. The latter could remain the same as its predecessors.

Software

Huawei Mate 70 smartphones will debut with HarmonyOS NEXT. It will be the first lineup to pre-install HarmonyOS NEXT and its latest features. You can check more details on the new self-developed OS version HERE.

Apart from these upgrades, the company may introduce new AI features, smart gestures, and UI elements to offer the best device experience to its consumers.
