Huawei P70: New details on the upcoming flagship

The highly anticipated Huawei P70 is nearing its launch, poised to replicate the success of its predecessor, the Mate 60 series. While we do not know the exact launch date, reports point to a debut within the next couple of months, similar to the P60 series’ March 2023 unveiling.

Digital Chat Station, a trusted tech source, has shed light on some key P70 specifications. The phone will boast a generous 6.7-inch curved OLED display. With a crisp 1.5K resolution and smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Immersive audio experiences are promised with dual front-facing stereo speakers.

Huawei P70: Primed to Succeed, with HarmonyOS NEXT on the Horizon

Photography enthusiasts will like at the P70’s rear camera setup. Arranged in a unique triangular formation, the triple-lens configuration features a 50MP main sensor (OmniVision OV50H) with an impressive 1/1.3″ size and variable aperture for enhanced light control. This is accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide lens and a 12MP telephoto lens. A hefty 5,000mAh battery rounds out the package, ensuring ample power for all-day use.

Responding to user inquiries, Digital Chat Station confirmed that all upcoming P70 models will share the same 6.7-inch display size, so those seeking a more compact option within the series might need to look elsewhere.

So, under the hood, the P70 will run the Kirin 9010 processor. It’s Huawei’s own chipset with integrated 5G support. This marks a departure from the Snapdragon processors utilized in the P60 series, potentially indicating a return to in-house chip production for Huawei’s flagship smartphones.

Another exciting aspect of the P70 is its software. It will be among the first phones in China to receive the update to HarmonyOS NEXT, the much-anticipated new version of Huawei’s proprietary operating system. This marks a significant milestone for HarmonyOS, as it sheds its Android-based roots and establishes itself as a fully independent platform. While the public version of HarmonyOS NEXT will launch later in the second half of 2024, a beta version with over 5,000 available apps is expected to arrive by December 2023.

Overall, the Huawei P70 paints a picture of a compelling flagship smartphone. With its high-resolution display, versatile camera system, powerful processor, and groundbreaking operating system, the P70 is poised to succeed its predecessor and further solidify Huawei’s position in the competitive smartphone market.
