There has been a surge in leaks regarding Huawei's P70 series lately. Initially expected to launch by the end of this month, the latest whispers suggest an April release. Regardless, the wait is almost over. Let's delve into the juicy details that have been swirling around the P70 lineup so far.
Unmistakable Design
Unlike the more business-oriented Mate series, the P series exudes style with its aesthetically pleasing designs.
Apparently, the Huawei P70 series will feature three variants: the P70, P70 Pro, and P70 Ultra. The P70 and P70 Pro are anticipated to sport triangular camera modules, ensuring high recognizability. Last year's P60 bore a striking resemblance to a koala, while this year's P70 is playfully likened to Mickey Mouse.
The P70Art will feature a unique and artistic camera module design, distinct from its predecessors. Expect a high level of visual appeal.
The color options are still unknown, but the P series has a history of introducing eye-catching shades. The P60 series featured the elegant Pastel White, while the P50 series showcased the dreamy Ripple Cloud Wave and Azure Blue Dynamic finishes. It remains exciting to see what distinctive colors the P70 series will offer.
In terms of the display, the entire Huawei P70 series will adopt an equally deep four-curved design, providing both comfort and aesthetics. The P70 will sport a 6.58-inch display, while the Pro and Art editions will have 6.8-inch screens. All displays feature a 1.5K resolution and support LTPO.
Apart from its stylish elements, imaging remains at the core of the P series' identity. Tech experts have hinted that the P70 series aims to reclaim its position as a photography powerhouse. According to leaks, the entire Huawei P70 lineup will be equipped with a 50-megapixel large-bottom main camera and a periscope telephoto lens. However, specific models will differ slightly.
The P70 and P70 Pro will reportedly use a 50-megapixel OV50H main camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor and 1.2μm unit pixels. It supports pixel binning, resulting in impressive image quality. This CMOS sensor has been widely adopted by flagship devices such as the Xiaomi 14/14 Pro, Honor Magic6/6 Pro, and iQOO12 Pro, all known for their excellent imaging capabilities.
Core
The top-of-the-line P70Art will feature the more powerful Sony IMX989, with a massive 1-inch sensor, making it Huawei's flagship phone with the largest sensor size ever. While it doesn't use the latest Sony LYT900, it's a significant upgrade over the IMX888 used in the previous generation. Combined with a variable aperture and Huawei's XMAGE imaging technology, it's expected to deliver exceptional imaging capabilities.
Other Features
Across the entire Huawei P70 lineup, the Kirin 9000S processor will be utilized, alongside support for satellite communication technology. Like the Mate 60 series, different models are likely to have varying functionalities. All models will also feature high-density batteries and wireless charging.
Conclusion
Huawei's P-series has always balanced style and technology. Based on current information, the P70 series offers highly distinctive designs, with each model easily recognizable. While renders might not be aesthetically pleasing, Huawei's real-world devices often outperform the images. This has been the case with both the Mate 60 and P60.
The imaging capabilities are arguably the most notable aspect. Compared to the P60 series, the specs have seen a substantial upgrade, particularly in the Art version, which will finally get a 1-inch main camera sensor. With the addition of a variable aperture and Huawei's XMAGE technology, achieving new heights in mobile photography is a realistic expectation.
Similar to the Mate 60 series, it's anticipated that the P70 series will be in high demand for the foreseeable future. Tech enthusiasts looking to get their hands on these devices should keep a close eye on updates.
