Huawei seems to be preparing to expand its Mate series with a new model. Huawei Mate 70 Air, listed with the model code SUP-AL90 in China Telecom’s online database, showed itself in technical details before the introduction. Thanks to the listing, not only the technical features of the device but also its design have become largely clear. This development shows that Huawei is taking steady steps to maintain its product diversity.
Huawei Mate 70 Air offers a larger viewing area compared to most models in its segment with its 6.9-inch screen. Despite everything, the device has a very balanced profile in terms of thickness and weight. Although the screen resolution or refresh rate has not been announced yet, it is known that this size screens provide an advantage in the multimedia experience. In this respect, the device may be interesting for mobile video content consumers. In addition to all these, the simple line in the screen design supports the aesthetic integrity of the device.
Huawei Mate 70 Air camera module will come with a circular design
The circular camera module on the back houses three separate sensors and offers a very balanced layout in terms of appearance. One of these sensors is positioned as a periscope telephoto lens; It aims to improve the quality of shots taken from long distances. In addition, the compatible placement of the sensors in the module gives a symmetrical structure to the back surface of the device. It seems that Huawei has preferred a camera language similar to its previous upper segment models. However, sensor resolutions have not been announced yet.
There is a pill-shaped screen cutout on the front of the device, and this area hosts not only the selfie camera but also advanced sensors. Thanks to this structure, the 3D facial recognition system is expected to be included in this model as well. It is known that Huawei offered similar facial recognition solutions in its previous models. This type of security system can provide additional protection for both screen unlocking and digital payments. Despite this, no official information has yet been shared about the accuracy rate of the system.
The hardware options of the Mate 70 Air are also quite remarkable. With support for up to 12 GB of RAM, two different internal storage options are offered: 256 GB and 512 GB. This structure may be sufficient especially for users who play mobile games or work with high-resolution video content. It is not yet clear whether there is microSD card support, but the internal memory offered seems sufficient for most scenarios. The harmonious operation of hardware components can reduce performance loss in long-term use.
On the color options side, the user is offered three different alternatives: Gold Black, Feather White and Gold Silver Brocade. Considering Huawei’s design approach, it can be said that these colors appeal especially to the user profile in the Asian market. The brightness of the colors, its harmony with the body and the visual balance it provides with the camera module make the device look stylish in the hand. However, physical test results are awaited for details such as material quality and case durability. However, the materials used in Huawei’s previous models left a positive impression.
On the software side, Mate 70 Air will work with the HarmonyOS 5 operating system. This system continues to be developed by Huawei independently of Android. The interface is expected to provide a more integrated experience to the user in terms of responsiveness, application compatibility and system stability. In the latest version of HarmonyOS, the improvements made especially in the areas of privacy and security are noteworthy. In addition, this version may provide advantages in terms of data sharing between devices and ecosystem transitions.
No official information has been shared about pricing and release date. However, the fact that China Telecom has listed the device in its own system suggests that the official launch is quite close. Huawei usually makes such listings a few weeks before launch. This shows that the device can take its place on the shelves in a short time. However, it is considered highly likely that it will be sold only in the Chinese market at first.
The features of the Mate 70 Air make it clear that it is aimed at middle-upper segment users. The large screen, high RAM capacity, triple camera system and up-to-date software infrastructure can provide efficiency in a wide range of areas, from daily use to business applications. It is considered that the device may become attractive for security-oriented users, especially with its 3D facial recognition feature. However, working with a system independent of Google services may create some limitations for global users. In this context, it is being watched with curiosity what path Huawei will follow in international markets.
