The Mate 60 series of smartphones, which made their debut in China in August and September, were noteworthy as the first Huawei phones to incorporate the in-house Kirin chipset following the US trade ban imposed on the brand back in May 2019. Huawei experienced a notable resurgence with the Mate 60 series, witnessing an 83 percent surge in sales during October. This remarkable performance positioned Huawei as a significant competitor to the iPhone 15 series, which debuted around the same time. In contrast, the iPhone 15 series saw a more modest increase in sales, with a growth of 11 percent. According to Chinese leaker Smart Pikachu, Huawei is gearing up to reclaim its position as a market leader this year in the Chinese market by positioning the Mate 70 series as a formidable competitor to the upcoming iPhone 16 series.
Huawei Mate 70 series to feature components from domestic suppliers
According to the leaker, the upcoming Huawei Mate 70 is anticipated to mark Huawei’s resurgence in the mobile phone industry, positioning itself as a significant competitor to the expected iPhone 16, scheduled to debut in September of this year. The company is currently deeply engaged in comprehensive preparations to ensure the success of this device, with planned shipment volumes significantly surpassing those of the previous generation, including the “Extraordinary Master” variant (machine-translated, likely referring to the RS Ultimate model).
Similar to Huawei’s approach with the Mate 60 series, the company will heavily rely on domestic production and self-development for the Mate 70 series. Its hybrid camera system will feature a new one-inch primary camera and a large aperture with improved light processing.
The Mate 70 series’ display will showcase a quad micro-curved design. Like the iPhone 16 series, the Mate 70 lineup will have multiple models with small and large screen sizes. Huawei’s proprietary Harmony OS will be seamlessly integrated with AI features, positioning it as a versatile business-oriented device.
