Huawei is already gearing up for its next flagship launch – the P70 series. New information suggests that the upcoming smartphones might offer varied chipset frequencies across models, along with other exciting upgrades.

Huawei P70 Series Will Also Feature Curved Displays

According to Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, the standard and high-end P70 models could utilize a robust Kirin chipset, potentially the Kirin 9000s seen in the Mate 60 series. However, there’s a twist: the high-end models like the P70 Pro, P70 Art, and the rumored P70 Pro+ might sport an overclocked version of this chipset, aiming for a 20% performance boost. While the core architecture remains under wraps, different clock speeds could be the key to achieving this improvement. According to reports, China’s largest chipmaker SMIC, is gearing up for the production of these 5nm chips.

The tipster also sheds light on the display, suggesting all four P70 models might flaunt a curved 1.5K resolution screen for enhanced visuals. Interestingly, Huawei is reportedly testing various screen sizes and experimenting with a blend of four China-made display panels, hinting at significant display upgrades compared to previous generations.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The P70 series could mark a major shift in Huawei’s approach to satellite communication technology. Tipsters claim all models might integrate satellite features, potentially offering an improved and more widespread experience. Previously, satellite connectivity was mostly limited to high-end models, with the base variants missing out.

Huawei pioneered smartphone satellite connectivity with the Mate 50 Pro in 2022, enabling one-way satellite SMS functionality. The P60 Pro and P60 Art took it a step further with two-way satellite SMS, while the Mate 60 series introduced two-way satellite calling for the Pro and Pro+ models. The P70 series could see satellite features democratized across all models, or follow the Mate 60 strategy with higher-end variants offering calling capabilities and the base model retaining two-way SMS.

The Huawei P70 series is expected to launch in the Chinese market by the end of March or early April. Additionally, the company is also actively developing HarmonyOS NEXT, a next-generation operating system built on its proprietary kernel. This operating system will entirely eliminate support for Android apps.
