According to the latest news from the supply chain, Huawei has begun mass production of Mate70, which may be released as soon as the end of October. Of course, the release is most likely in November (when the official pure-blood Hongmeng version will be released). Prior to this, some media reported that the overall cost of Huawei's Mate70 series models was about 30% higher than that of Apple's iPhone16 series, but the price was not more expensive than the iPhone16 series.
The report mentioned that the core components of Huawei Mate70 series are very expensive, ranging from 1,100 yuan to 1,300 yuan, and the prices of other accessories are also relatively expensive, such as screens, CMOS outsole, power management chips, etc.
Therefore, in terms of production costs, Huawei Mate70 series will be significantly higher than Apple iPhone16 series.
Some outsiders predict that the starting price of the Mate70 series may remain the same as the Huawei Mate60 series of 5,499 yuan, and the price of the top-end Extraordinary Master version may exceed 10,000 yuan.
Summarizing previous statements, the Mate70 series that Huawei is preparing should include at least 4 models, all of which are 1.5K. All models will be equipped with ultra-large-capacity batteries with new base materials, aiming to improve the battery life of the new machines.
It is reported that Huawei Mate70 series adopts a side fingerprint + 3D face recognition dual unlocking solution. This time Mate70 continues the three-hole screen design concept of the previous generation and supports facial recognition payment.
In terms of system, Huawei Mate70 series will launch the HarmonyOSNEXT system, which can be understood as a pure-blood version of Harmony, and is also equipped with a new generation of Kirin processor (the performance ranks among the first camp).
