A fresh new leak about the Huawei Mate 70 series suggests major improvement in performance thanks to an alleged “super core” Kirin chip. Words for it come from Weibo tipster @SmartPikachu, who claims that the new Kirin SoC could elevate the Mate 70 to the top ranks in terms of performance.

The exact nature of the “super core” remains unclear. It’s possible Huawei might implement a revamped core configuration within the Kirin chip specifically for the Mate 70. However, details are scarce at this point.

Performance rumors for the Mate 70 aren’t new. Earlier leaks hinted at a Kirin benchmark score exceeding 1.1 million points, possibly placing in line with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. While lacking specifics, these leaks suggest a noticeable performance improvement for Huawei’s upcoming flagship phones.

Additionally, the tipster hints at a possible launch timing clash between the Mate 70 and the iPhone 16 series later this year. While an October or September release for the Mate 70 is not confirmed, it could set the stage for a showdown between these tech giants upon their respective launches.

The Mate 70 series is also rumored to be the first to come pre-installed with Huawei’s new HarmonyOS NEXT operating system. 

The OS will ditch support for Android apps completely and the platform already has over 4000 native apps from Chinese corporations and businesses. That number will grow in the near future. 

Additional leaks suggest Huawei is already ramping up production for the Mate 70, with a target to increase stick by 40-50% compared to the Mate 60 series. However, these claims, along with the aforementioned features, are all leaks and rumors, and official details from Huawei are still forthcoming.
