Huawei Mate 70 Series Features (Expected)

The Huawei Mate 70 series phones are expected to offer better battery life compared to current Mate 60 models, which are equipped with up to 5,000mAh batteries. Tipster Fixed Focus Digital (translated from Chinese) claimed in a Weibo post that the Mate 70 handsets carry batteries smaller than 6,000mAh. They are speculated to get 5,500 or 5,700mAh cells.

Another tipster Smart Pikachu suggested in a Weibo post that the Huawei Mate 70 lineup will be equipped with Qualcomm's ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for security.

Meanwhile, a Huawei Central report shared leaked images of the Huawei Mate 70 series camera protectors. These showed the camera layout design of the rumoured smartphones. The base and Pro variants, with large, circular units, appear to be similar to the Huawei Mate 50 series handsets. The leaked Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design may have the same octagonal rear camera module as the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design.

Previous leaks has suggested that the Huawei Mate 70 series may ship with Kirin SoCs, Hongmeng kernel-based Harmony OS, 1.5K displays, and satellite communication support.
