Huawei Mate 70 (stylized as HUAWEI Mate70) is a series of high-end smartphones manufactured by Huawei and released on the market in China in November 2024. [4] The base model has a titanium casing. It features a 5,300 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera, up to 1 TB storage, 12 GB RAM and Beidou satellite connectivity. It runs the newly-launched operating system HarmonyOS 5 that is no longer compatible with Android. [4] [5] [6] [3]
The Mate 70 series comprises four models: Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and Mate 70 RS. [7]
The Mate 70 and Mate 70 Pro have an aluminium casing. Mate 70 PRO+ has a titanium casing. The Mate 70 Pro+ has a rear panel that is a mix of gold threads and brocade fiber; it is made of nylon material. [8]
The Mate 70 base model probably uses as SOC the HiSilicon Kirin 9010 chipset. [7] However, a Chinese tech blogger has suggested that the Mate 70 Pro, Pro+, and RS will all debut the new HiSilicon Kirin 9020 chip. [7] [8]
Another tech blogger has claimed that the Kirin 9020 is a 12-core processor with two 2.5 GHz high-performance cores, six 2.15 GHz mid-performance cores, and four 1.6GHz efficiency cores. [7] According to the blogger, the Kirin 9020 might have a greater performance than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which was manufactured with TSMC’s 4nm process and was released in 2022. [7]
The smartphone has a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and second generation Kunlun glass. [4] [6] [9] [10] The screen incorporates a 3D face scanner, while the fingerprint scanner has been placed at the side of the phone. [8]
The base model Mate 70 has a 5,300 mAh battery, while the Pro has a 5,500 mAh battery, and the Pro+ and RS models feature a 5,700 mAh battery.
The base Mate 70 and the Pro models have 256GB, 512GB and 1TB models, all featuring 12GB RAM. [11] [12] Both the Pro+ and RS models have a 512GB and 1TB model, both featuring 16GB memory. [13] [14]
There are three cameras on the back of the Mate 70 Pro+: a main 50MP RYYB sensor with a 24mm variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture lens. [15] Next to it is a 13mm f/2.2 ultrawide with a 40MP RYYB sensor, a 4x 92.5mm f/2.1 telephoto with close-focusing abilities, and a 48MP RYYB sensor. All cameras have autofocusing. There is a 13MP f/2.4 selfie camera on the front. [15]
The Mate 70 was released with Huawei's HarmonyOS Next 5 operating system, which dropped support for Android apps. However, users were still able to install the Android-based HarmonyOS 4.3 for app compatibility. [4] [6] American news network CNBC commented in November 2024: "For now, Huawei’s latest phones [the Mate 70 series] alongside HarmonyOS 5.0 are very much focused on the Chinese market, as the company still faces mounting challenges abroad." [6]
According to Huawei, more than 15,000 native HarmonyOS NEXT applications and services were available in November 2024. [7]
With regard to the camera, AI movement trajectory and the AI heroic moment ensure that the subject remains in focus irrespective of its surroundings or speed. [16] Other features include AI summaries that summarize an entire article in notable points with just one click. [16] AI noise reduction telephone calls ensure that the caller can remain in contact regardless of the environment. [16]
AnTuTu scores for the Kirin 9020 chip used in the Mate 70 Pro+ revealed roughly 1.3 million points. [17] That was nowhere near the score the flagship chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek achieved at the time (e.g at most roughly 2 to 2.1 million points for the 2024 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3; [18] roughly 1.9 million points for the successful OnePlus 12 smartphone using that chip [19] ), but this score constituted a nearly 30% improvement over the Kirin 9010 chip found in the Pura 70 series, which scored nearly 1 million points on AnTuTu.
