Interestingly, this rumor was promptly debunked by internal sources from Huawei, stating that “the Huawei Mate 60 series is still in normal production and available for purchase by consumers.” Nevertheless, recent information from a supply chain company confirmed that mass supply to the high-end flagship phones of the Huawei P70 series has commenced, with expectations of a flagship launch in April.

It is widely believed that the P70 series will be launched as scheduled in April and become a hit product in the smartphone market for the first half of the year.
According to the leaked specifications and renders of the suspected Huawei P70 series circulating online, the series is expected to include at least three new models: P70, P70 Pro, and P70 Art (P70 Pro+). In terms of appearance, they all feature a triangular rear camera module design with a triple-camera setup. The main sensor for all models is rumored to be the HiSilicon OV50H, supporting 50MP and featuring a 1/1.3-inch sensor size with a pixel size of 1.2μm, providing an effective pixel size of 2.4μm in a 4-in-1 pixel binning mode. The ultra-large cup Deco is an irregular polygon, with the main sensor being a 1-inch Sony IMX989.
Additionally, the P70 Pro and Art versions are expected to focus on enhancing the telephoto experience, integrating Huawei’s XMAGE imaging capabilities. The Huawei P70 series is set to significantly enhance its imaging capabilities, placing it among the top tier of domestic smartphone cameras. Even the standard P70 version is expected to see a considerable improvement in imaging with the main sensor and periscopic telephoto lens. It is speculated that these new models will be equipped with a new Kirin 5G processor, offering performance superior to the Kirin 9000S in the Huawei Mate60 series. Satellite communication is expected to see an upgrade compared to the Huawei Mate60, with battery capacity likely around 5000mAh and the possibility of an 88W wired fast charging upgrade. However, for the final release date and specifications, official announcements should be awaited for confirmation.
