The newest flagship smartphones are coming out with powerful processors like the Dimensity 9400 and Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, there's also a growing trend among high-end devices. To boost security, many flagship models are now equipped with ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, and it looks like Huawei's Mate 70 series could join this trend.
Huawei Mate 70 Series and Its Security Features
The news comes from a well-known leaker, Smart Pikachu, on Weibo. According to this leak, Huawei’s upcoming Mate 70 series will feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, similar to the recently launched OnePlus 13. Smart Pikachu suggests that the Huawei Mate 70 lineup will incorporate this technology to improve security. The post also mentions that upcoming Ultra model smartphones from other brands are likely to be released next year with Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.
Upcoming Ultra Series Phones
It's worth noting that several Ultra series models are expected to hit the market in the near future. This list includes the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Vivo X200 Ultra. There are additional Ultra-branded devices that might also support this technology. This is all the information released in the Weibo post. Recently, a leak also revealed details about the camera setup of the Mate 70 series.
Dual Operating System Possibility
Moreover, there are speculations that the Mate 70 may be launched with dual operating system choices. The main OS is expected to be the new HarmonyOS Next, while the second option may include Android support. Given that HarmonyOS Next is a significant upgrade signaling Huawei's departure from Android, it seems logical to maintain some compatibility with the more widely-used Android platform. That’s all the info we have for now, so keep an eye out for further updates!
