Huawei is officially kicking off pre-reservations for its upcoming Mate 80 lineup today at 12:08 PM. The new flagship family can now be reserved through Huawei Mall, major e-commerce partners, Huawei experience stores, and authorized retail locations.
Alongside the announcement, the company also shared the first look at the Huawei Mate 80 phones, including the RS Ultimate Design model.
Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s Executive Director and head of its smart device division, shared the first look at the Mate 80 Pro Max in a short video posted earlier today.
Huawei traditionally offered “Pro” and “Pro+” variants in the Mate series, but this year the company is introducing a new “Pro Max” model that will replace the Pro+ entirely.
Huawei Mate 80 series boasts a new dual ring design
The Pro Max model has a unique dual-ring layout on the back. The upper ring houses a large circular camera module with four lenses, the XMAGE branding at the center, and an LED flash tucked into the outer ring.
Right beneath it sits a second ring that is nearly the same size, creating a figure-eight-like design. The lower ring is likely for magnetic charging or accessory interface, just like MagSafe for iPhones.
Magnetic accessories for Android phones finally debuted with the Pixel 10 series’ PixelSnap feature, so there’s no reason for Huawei to be left behind.
For those wanting something even more premium, the Mate 80 RS Ultimate Design edition goes in a different direction. It features an octagonal camera module paired with distinctive Huawei and Ultimate Design branding.
Huawei has confirmed that the Mate 80 series, along with the Mate X7 and several ecosystem devices, will debut on November 25th. All the debuting phones are expected to be powered by the new Kirin 9030 processor.
