The rumor mill is now actively spilling information on the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro flagship phones. The Huawei Mate 10 series was made official in October 2017 and the Mate 20 series was announced in October 2018. Hence, Huawei fans have been expecting that the Mate 30 series may go official in October this year. Citing information from Huawei Consumer Business Software President, Dr. Wang Chenglu, a Russian tech blog has reported that the Mate 30 series will be debuting on Sept. 19.
According to the publication, Chenglu has revealed that the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will be powered by the Kirin 990 chipset. One of the major features of this new SoC is that it will consume less energy. The Mate 30 series will come preloaded with the latest Android Q OS overlaid with the latest EMUI 10 skin. The publication has claimed that devices will not come preloaded with Google services due to the ongoing conflicts with the US authorities because of the trade ban.
The rumor mill has already leaked that Huawei’s next flagship chipset for mobile devices i.e. Kirin 985 will again be a 7nm product. Probably, the same SoC could be made official as Kirin 990. The SoC is expected to come bundled with a 5G modem. This suggests that the company may sell 5G editions of Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro as well.
While the Mate 30 series may go official on Sept. 19, their 5G editions may come around December. So far, the rumor mill has revealed that the Mate 30 Pro has a massive 6.7-inch display with 90Hz refresh rate. The display will have extremely curved edges and it will feature a wide notch to house the complex sensors of 3D face unlock. The rear shell of the phone may include a triple camera unit with two 40-megapixel sensorsv. The battery of the Mate 30 Pro could be coupled with 55W fast charging. The Mate 30 is expected to arrive with slightly weaker specs than the Pro model.
Recent reports have revealed that the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 Lite will be the first phone from the company to arrive with its Android alternative HarmonyOS. Probably, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro units in China may also feature the new OS from the firm.
