Huawei is preparing to launch the Mate 70 series in China on November 19, with a new addition to its flagship smartphone series. The Chinese technology giant draws attention with its Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+ and Mate 70 RS Ultimate models positioned in the luxury segment. Recently, well-known leak source Digital Chat Station announced the launch date of the series on Weibo. The fact that one of Huawei’s senior executives confirmed that the launch would take place in November increased the reliability of this information.
With the new Mate 70 series, Huawei once again brings its own HarmonyOS Next operating system to the agenda. HarmonyOS Next stands out as a new generation operating system that was developed independently of Android and will be used on Huawei’s mobile devices. This move of the company is considered as a continuation of its strategy of not being dependent on the Android ecosystem after US sanctions. According to leaks, the Mate 70 series will work with HarmonyOS Next as the main operating system and optional Android support will also be offered. This will allow users to switch between two different ecosystems.
Huawei’s foldable smartphone Mate X6 is expected to be introduced at the same event as the Mate 70 series. Mate X6 stands out as one of the company’s ambitious steps, especially in the field of foldable screen technology. During the same period, other Chinese technology brands are expected to launch their new devices. Digital Chat Station announced that the Oppo Reno 13 series and Red Magic 10 Pro will be released in November. On the other hand, there is information that the Vivo S20 series will be introduced on November 28. This indicates that November will be a very active month for the Chinese smartphone market.
Leaks that the Huawei Mate 70 series will come with under-screen fingerprint reading technology have attracted the attention of technology enthusiasts. In addition to ultrasonic fingerprint readers, significant improvements are expected in the camera capabilities of the series. It is claimed that the camera module of the new devices will have a circular design and will offer improved results, especially in night photography. After terminating its cooperation with Leica, Huawei has focused on its own developed technologies in the field of cameras. Therefore, the camera features of the Mate 70 series are also eagerly awaited.
Although there is no clear information about the technical details of HarmonyOS Next, it is estimated that this operating system will include many innovations to improve the user experience. In particular, Huawei has the goal of gathering smart home devices, wearable technologies and other IoT products under a single ecosystem with HarmonyOS. The new Mate 70 series will be launched as part of this vision with HarmonyOS Next, accelerating the company’s steps towards ecosystem integration.
Huawei will show its long-term strategy with the Mate 70 series
Huawei’s effort to create an ecosystem independent of Android with the Mate 70 series reveals the company’s long-term strategy. After trade tensions with the USA, Huawei was deprived of Google services. This led the company to develop its own operating system and application ecosystem. The Mate 70 series will appear as the most current step of this strategy. Huawei’s transition to HarmonyOS aims to increase the company’s competitiveness both in the domestic market and in the international arena.
