Last year, Huawei surprised everyone when it launched its Mate 60 Pro with a 7nm 5G-capable Kirin 9000s chipset, SK Hynix RAM chips and other components that should not have been available to Huawei with the ongoing sanctions against the company. As we wait for a successor, tipster DigitalChatStation claims the Mate 70 series has been delayed and will launch in China in mid to late Q4 this year.
The new report suggests that we’ll see a number of upgrades, such as a more capable Kirin 9100 chipset, a 1.5K LTPO OLED with 3D facial scanning, and an OmniVision OV50K sensor on the main camera which will once again have a variable aperture. The Mate 70-series phones will also feature larger silicon batteries that are said to offer a capacity increase of over 5,000mAh.
