Huawei has a scheduled launch event for December 23 and the lineup includes laptops, TVs, and a smart wearable device. The Huawei Mate V seems to be the main highlight of the December 23 launch, as per the statement by the Weibo tipster. A leaked Huawei teaser seems to lend credence to the December 23 launch. The Huawei teaser showed what seems to be a closed flip phone that was promised to be launched in late December 2021.

The innovative heat pipe design in the Huawei Mate V has been patented by Huawei in 2020, which may not be definitive proof, but the patent surfacing at this time could provide some support for the rumor. The flexible heat pipe will span across the length of the Mate V and would likely offer substantial improvements in heat management and the overall efficiency of the device.
