Huawei’s plans for the P70 series launch have become shrouded in mystery following the reported cancellation of a press conference. Industry insiders suggest the phones could skip the traditional launch event altogether and join a “Pioneer Program” instead, potentially going on sale as early as today.

Huawei P70 launch Cancelled

This news comes after Weibo tipster Bad Review Emperor sparked speculation by posting, “The press conference was suddenly canceled, and tickets were refunded to the media? What happened?” on social media.

There are also reports that authorized Huawei stores have begun accepting blind orders for the P70 series. While the official release timing remains unclear, this suggests the phones could be available very soon.

Leaks regarding the P70 series paint a picture of powerful hardware and innovative features. The recent Geekbench listings suggest that the Kirin 9000S chipset is expected to power the devices, with potentially different clock speeds for standard and high-end models. Both variations might boast stunning displays – a roughly 6.58-inch or 6.8-inch 2.5D 1.5K LTPO panel with a captivating quad-curved design.

Huawei P70 Pro Leak

On the camera front, rumors point towards either the OV50H or IMX989 sensor, both featuring a physical variable aperture. A 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP 4x periscope telephoto lens could round out the impressive camera system. The devices are also expected to feature new satellite communication technology and a fresh exterior design.

This wouldn’t be the first time Huawei opted for an unconventional launch strategy. Last year’s Mate 60 Pro saw a quiet online release without a press conference. The possibility of a similar surprise launch for the P70 series hangs in the air. Leak also suggests Huawei may launch 10 more products alongside the P70 series.
