Is everyone still eagerly anticipating the Huawei P70? I, for one, can hardly wait any longer.
The popularity of the Huawei Mate and P series needs no introduction. Just last year, when the Huawei Mate 60 series was released, it became the talk of the town overnight. Many people couldn't get their hands on it for months after its release, with waitlists stretching well into the end of the year. Some were even willing to pay extra just to get their hands on it sooner.
This year's P series is no exception. Whenever there's a stir in the tech world, the Huawei P70 instantly trends. For instance, the day before Xiaomi's SU7 car launch event, the hot topic was "Huawei P70." Netizens seem to love the buzz, eagerly anticipating what's next. Additionally, yesterday Huawei held its Huawei HarmonyOS Spring Communication Conference, and yet again, the hot topic earlier that day was the Huawei P70.
Trending topics reflect enthusiasm, and everyone's enthusiasm revolves around one thing: "Today seems like the perfect day for a release."
But in reality, it's all anticipation with no concrete news. Huawei has been unveiling new products for five consecutive days, including the recent launches of the Smart World S7, laptops, and new headphones at yesterday's HarmonyOS Spring Communication Conference. However, there's still no solid information about the Huawei P70.
So, we can't help but wonder, will this phone ever see the light of day? This "half-hidden behind the curtain" situation is keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.
The Huawei P70 is making waves again, but that's no surprise considering Huawei's popularity. As a flagship in the Huawei P series, this phone is certainly not lacking.
Firstly, in terms of imaging, rumors suggest that the standard version and the Pro version of the Huawei P70 will feature the impressive OV50H sensor by Hawkeye, while the P70 Art will adopt the Sony IMX989 one-inch sensor. Both of these sensors are familiar to us, having been used by other major players like Blue-Green and Xiaomi. While they may not boast the specs of the new LYT-900 sensor, when combined with Huawei's computational photography prowess, the XMEGA imaging power of these two sensors is still formidable.
As for the telephoto lens, there haven't been many leaks yet, but the previous generation's super-focus night vision telephoto lens performed well, supporting long-range macro shots and offering impressive stabilization. This generation will likely see some upgrades, to some extent... maybe?
According to the same sources, the standard version will feature a 6.58-inch screen, while the Pro and Art versions will be around 6.8 inches, all boasting a 1.5K resolution. Hopefully, they'll adopt the same equal-sized four-curved screen as the Huawei Mate 60 series, which feels fantastic to hold and is, in my opinion, the best-feeling wide-screen phone I've used.
In terms of chips, there's still not much information to go on, which is expected. However, the likelihood of a chip upgrade is low, given the short cycle. Additionally, the P series and Mate series have always maintained consistency in processors, so it's probably going to be the Kirin 9000S. Whether it will be universal across all versions or specific to certain models, or even if there will be a new processor altogether, remains uncertain.
Other features such as generative AI, BeiDou satellite communication, TianTong satellite communication, variable aperture, the new HarmonyOS, high-density batteries, Xuanwu architecture, and Kunlun glass are all expected highlights. If they're not there, then perhaps you should wait for the Huawei Mate 60 series!
So far, when it comes to the Huawei P70, the most reliable information seems to revolve around its design.
Digital bloggers have previously exposed phone cases for the P70 series, featuring a highly recognizable triangular camera module.
After yesterday's Huawei HarmonyOS ecosystem spring communication conference, a photo allegedly showing the back cover of the Huawei P70 standard appeared online. From the photo, the rear camera module is designed in a triangular shape, which is quite distinctive and seems to confirm previous leaks.
Apart from the standard version, the design of the P70 Art is quite "artistic". It is reported that the rear camera module is designed in an irregular polygon shape, which is different from the previous generation, but the tone remains unchanged, and its credibility is still very high.
Overall, various aspects of the Huawei P70 series have been exposed, but there isn't much substantial content, so it's advisable for users to take it with a grain of salt and wait for the official release event, which is more reliable.
As for why this phone has not been released and officially announced yet, it's most likely due to waiting for the right moment. In the mobile phone industry, the timing of product launches is not arbitrarily chosen. As a leader in the global smartphone manufacturing field, Huawei's new product releases attract significant attention, and the formulation of related launch plans undoubtedly needs to consider complex market environments and internal conditions.
For example, adjusting the configuration and price of their products, as well as marketing strategies, to ensure that the P70 series stands out among numerous competitors right from the start.
They may also be refining the product further. Whether it's optimizing software, improving system stability, or stringent quality control, all these efforts can enhance the user experience and instill confidence in buyers.
Furthermore, not disclosing the specific release date gives Huawei more time for market promotion and advertising. When the P70 series is finally launched, it will instantly become a sensation online and sell like hotcakes.
Of course, all of this is contingent upon Huawei having sufficient strength and confidence, which is undeniable based on the performance of the Huawei Mate 60.
