Huawei‘s premium P70 series smartphones, originally rumored for a March release, have reportedly been delayed. According to industry insider Digital Chat Station, the launch timeline of the lineup has been pushed back, though the exact reasons remain undisclosed. 

Huawei P70 series launch delayed

However, local Chinese media sources suggest the delay is due to the broader product release strategies internally within Huawei rather than supply chain constraints.

The new expected launch window for the Huawei P70 series is now April. Despite this shift in schedule, the rumored specifications for the smartphones are likely to remain unchanged.

Rumored Specifications

The Huawei P70 series is expected to include at least three models: the standard version, a Pro edition, and an Art variant. These devices are expected to feature an upgraded Kirin 9xxx chipset, potentially offering performance gains over the Kirin 9000S used in the Mate60 series.  

Display-wise, users may have the option between a 6.58-inch or 6.8-inch 2.5D 1.5K LTPO panel with a refined “equal-depth four-micro-curve design.”

A highlight of the series is said to be the camera system. According to reports, the P70 series will feature either the OV50H or IMX989 sensor for the main camera with a physical variable aperture. The setup could also include a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP 4x periscope telephoto lens. 

Recently, images of the Huawei P70 case have also surfaced, revealing a somewhat symmetrical triangle design for the camera module. Leaks also hint at the possibility of the P70 series debuting with satellite communication technology.

As mentioned earlier, the late March launch window for the P70 series remains uncertain at this time. Pricing details are still unknown, but the Huawei P60 Art was released last year with a starting price of 8,988 yuan (approximately $1,340), which may provide a reference point.
