Huawei Mate 70 series allegedly arrived at some Chinese stores

Huawei Mate 70 series has allegedly begun arriving at some Chinese offline stores ahead of its launch. The company confirmed to debut the new lineup this month. And it looks like the first batch of Mate 70 phones already reached eligible retailers.

A few netizens on Weibo reported that the Huawei Mate 70 series reached some Chinese offline stores already. But they can’t be opened before the official unveiling.

A slip on the top of the box states that the opening of the box is subject to Huawei’s official notification. Any such action before the Mate 70 series launch could lead to huge penalties and punishment for retailers.

The page reads:

“Warning: Before the Mate 70 launch conference, it is forbidden to open the phone box without authorization. The fine for unsealing in advance is 500000 yuan or more! The specific opening time is subject to Huawei’s official notification.”

The slip shows the VMall tag at the top, hinting that the models arrived from the company. But the accuracy of these boxes containing Mate 70 is still doubtful.

Anyways, Huawei will maintain the secrecy of these boxes until the official Mate 70 launch. This scenario further implies that Mate 70 may release under the Pioneer Program, allowing users to buy the retail device in advance.

Huawei has reportedly increased the Mate 70 series parts production by 50% this month. The key components likely include camera lenses, chips, and fingerprint sensors. An early input suggests that the Mate 70 series stock capacity would be 50% more than the Mate 60 smartphones to prevent tight supply conditions.

On the flip side, the Mate 70 back covers, cases, and camera covers are ready. The company is speeding up the launch preparations for its next flagship lineup.

The release time for Mate 70 handsets is unconfirmed. Yet it could step on the consumer platform by November 20. Let’s see how far the leaked inputs fit with the official details.
