Huawei has finally put an end to months of rumors by confirming the launch of the Mate 80 series. The company will host a major product event on November 25 at 2:30 PM China time to announce the new Mate devices.
Alongside its new flagship phones, Huawei is also announcing the Mate X7 foldable at the same event.
The first teaser image for the event keeps things minimal. It shows no specs, no silhouettes, nothing major. But it does show two large circular outlines. These are likely hints at the Mate 80’s round camera system and a magnetic ring on the back of the case.
Huawei Mate 80 series
Huawei is reportedly preparing four models this year:
- Mate 80
- Mate 80 Pro
- Mate 80 Pro Max (replacing the previous Pro+ version)
- Mate 80 RS Master Edition
The Pro Max seems more like a renaming exercise than a huge redesign, but all models are expected to share some major upgrades.
One of the most noticeable changes will be support for 3D face recognition across all models. It was previously reserved for the top-end models. The series is also said to feature a side-mounted fingerprint reader and a refreshed red-maple-colored camera module.
Rumors from China also claim that Huawei could offer the Mate 80 phones with a massive 20GB of RAM. All models are expected to run on the new Kirin 9030 chipset, a successor to the Kirin 9020 from the Mate 70 series.
Huawei may also be testing a built-in active cooling fan, something rarely seen in mainstream flagships.
Huawei Mate X7
Alongside the Mate 80 series, Huawei will introduce the new Mate X7 foldable. This generation reportedly features a larger 7.95-inch 2K foldable screen with UTG ultra-thin glass, a bigger battery, improved cameras, and a lighter, thinner body.
It will also share the Kirin 9030 chip and come in new colors like Obsidian Black, Phantom Purple, Cosmic Red, Cloud Blue, and Cloud White.
As always, all of this remains unconfirmed until launch day — but with only a week to go, we won’t have to wait long to see what Huawei has been building.
