Huawei is gearing up to launch the Mate 70 series later this month. The lineup will reportedly include the Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and the premium Mate 70 RS, with the latter expected to be the most feature-packed of the bunch. In this article, we will discuss the Huawei Mate 70 series rumors, specifications, and launch date.
Huawei Mate 70 Series rumors
Design and Display
The Huawei Mate 70 series will likely feature a more angular, flat-frame design compared to its predecessor’s rounded edges.
As per the leaked image on Weibo, the display will have three punch holes (again) – which is polarizing for sure. These cutouts are likely to include one for the front-facing camera and the other two for a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) system used for facial recognition and enhanced security. Additionally, the power button on the right side of the device will be larger, offering improved usability.
Performance
Under the hood, the Mate 70 series is expected to be powered by the new Kirin 9100 chipset. This octa-core SoC will feature a powerful combination of cores, including a single Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2.67 GHz for demanding tasks, alongside three Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.32 GHz for balanced performance.
Additionally, the chipset will include four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.02 GHz, designed to be more energy-efficient for lighter tasks. The Kirin 9100 will be coupled with Huawei’s custom Maleoon 910 GPU, and it will be manufactured using SMIC’s N+3 process node (6nm).
Moreover, this new series will likely have the HarmonyOS Next (Huawei’s first OS).

Camera
In terms of camera design, the Mate 70 series is expected to borrow elements from the Mate 50 series, with four cameras arranged in a square formation, housed within a circular or octagonal module.
While the camera design appears similar, the sensors are reportedly larger. However, details regarding the internal specifications of the camera setup are still scarce.
Huawei Mate 70 Series Launch and Availability
Richar Yu, CEO of the CBG Division confirmed that the Huawei Mate 70 series will be released on November 26, 2024. Since, the Mate 60 costs CNY 5,999 (~ 112,000NPR converted), we expect the Huawei Mate 70 price in Nepal to start around NPR 155,000 if the series somehow makes it here.
