The recent weeks have been busy for several Chinese phone makers, with many rolling out new flagship devices. This trend looks set to carry on until the year wraps up. Huawei has now entered the fray by announcing the launch date for its Mate 70 series.
Announcement of Launch Date
Yu Chengdong (also known as Richard Yu), the CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group, shared the launch date at the Guangzhou Auto Show. He mentioned that the Mate 70 series will be unveiled on November 26. Additionally, it's not just the Mate 70 series that will be part of the event; there are more exciting announcements lined up.
New Luxury Car Brand
Alongside the phone series, Huawei will introduce a new luxury car brand named Maextro, which is said to be a partnership with JAC. This connection explains why the launch date was revealed during a car exhibition. Maextro will become the fourth brand in Huawei's Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), joining Airo, Luxeed, and Stelato.
Expected Models in the Mate 70 Series
The Mate 70 series is anticipated to include at least three different models. In addition to the standard Mate 70, there’s expected to be a Mate 70 Pro and a Mate 70 Pro Plus. Rumors also suggest a potential fourth model, likely a successor to the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design, although earlier reports hinted it might debut as the Mate 70 Ultimate Design instead.
In the previous month, Huawei introduced HarmonyOS NEXT, a fresh operating system intended to take over from Android. This new OS is already in beta for some devices, like the Huawei Pura 70 (currently priced at €799 on Amazon.de), so it’s likely that the Mate 70 series will come with it pre-installed.
