Huawei's highly anticipated P70 series smartphones, initially rumored to hit the market in March, have encountered a delay in their release schedule. Insider information from Digital Chat Station indicates that the launch timeline for this lineup has been postponed, although the specific reasons behind this decision have not been disclosed.
Industry sources in China propose that the delay is more related to Huawei's internal product release strategies rather than any issues within the supply chain.
Revised Launch Schedule
The revised launch date for the Huawei P70 series is now expected to be in April. Despite this shift, the speculated specifications for these smartphones are anticipated to remain consistent with initial reports.
Speculative Features
The upcoming Huawei P70 series is anticipated to comprise three distinct models: a standard version, a Pro edition, and an Art variant. These devices are rumored to boast an enhanced Kirin 9xxx chipset, potentially delivering improved performance compared to the Kirin 9000S utilized in the Mate60 series.
Users can likely choose between a 6.58-inch or 6.8-inch 2.5D 1.5K LTPO panel with a refined "equal-depth four-micro-curve design."
Camera Innovations
A standout feature of the P70 series is expected to be its advanced camera system. Reports suggest that these smartphones might incorporate either the OV50H or IMX989 sensor for the primary camera, along with a physical variable aperture. Additionally, the setup could include a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP 4x periscope telephoto lens.
Recently leaked images of the Huawei P70 case reveal a symmetrical triangle design for the camera module. There are also hints that the P70 series may debut with satellite communication technology.
At present, uncertainty surrounds the initial late March launch window for the P70 series. Pricing details have not been disclosed yet. However, it is worth noting that the Huawei P60 Art was introduced last year with a starting price of 8,988 yuan (approximately $1,340), which could serve as a reference point.
