Huawei‘s Executive Director Yu Chengdong (also known as Richard Yu) revealed at the last Huawei Developer Conference that the Mate 70 series will be released in Q4 2024. In the latest news, Weibo tipster 智慧皮卡丘 has revealed the specifications of the Mate 70 series.
According to the tipster, all models of the Huawei Mate 70 series will use customized top-level 1.5K panels. He added that ‘some models’ of the series will be equipped with four-equal-depth screens, while the others will equip flat displays that will also be slightly more compact.
He also revealed that the company has worked on an ultrasonic fingerprint solution. There is a chance the series could equip the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. For context. the predecessor packs an under-display optical fingerprint scanner. In addition to that, the entire entire series is expected to pack larger batteries inside, which reportedly use different substrate material and may have a higher energy density. A higher energy density allows devices to pack more capacity without getting bulkier.
Notably, the company is also working on a new tablet, which is expected to be released alongside the Huawei Mate 70 series in November this year. The Huawei Mate 60 series was released towards the end of August last year. This delay is expected to be due to the company’s development of HarmonyOS Next, which is said to bring major improvements to the overall user experience.
A previous report suggests that the phone’s chipset could use the same 7nm fabrication. The chipset is speculated to be the Kirin 9100 which somehow achieves a relatively higher transistor density. The 7nm process could be SMIC’s N+3 process node. The reason behind using the 7nm process is reportedly low yield rates and high cost of the foundry’s current 5nm process node.
