Huawei has finally put an end to months of speculation by confirming the release date for its highly anticipated Mate 80 series alongside a new foldable model, the Mate X7. Scheduled for November 25, Huawei will host a grand event to officially introduce these devices. The announcement comes as a breath of fresh air amidst ongoing rumors and expectations.
The first teaser image unveiled by Huawei is surprisingly simple, without any specific feature details or design elements revealed yet. However, two prominent circular lines in the image are drawing attention, suggesting they might be indicative of the Mate 80 series’ circular camera setup and a magnetic ring structure on the back.
Mate 80 Series Overview
According to industry insiders, this year’s Mate 80 series is expected to include four models: the standard Mate 80, Pro variant, Pro Max (replacing the previous Pro+ model), and the exclusive RS Master Edition. Huawei has assured that while the Pro Max is getting a significant design update, all models will feature considerable advancements.
The most intriguing innovation in this series appears to be the standardization of 3D facial recognition across all models. This technology was previously limited to high-end variants but now promises universal availability within the Mate 80 range. Additionally, expect side-mounted fingerprint sensors and a revamped red-hued camera module.
Mate X7: The Future of Foldables
The event is set to feature another star attraction in the form of Huawei’s new foldable model, the Mate X7. This device reportedly sports an ultra-thin glass (UTG) used on a 7.95-inch 2K folding screen. Leaks from China hint that the Mate 80 series may offer a groundbreaking option with up to 20GB of RAM, which would be unprecedented in the market.
Technical specifications suggest that all models will come equipped with Huawei’s latest Kirin 9030 chipset, succeeding the Kirin 9020 found in last year’s Mate 70 series. Moreover, there are reports indicating that Huawei is currently testing an internal active cooling fan system typically not seen even on battleships. This feature promises to enhance thermal management and performance.
Conclusion
The upcoming Mate 80 series, along with the innovative Mate X7 foldable, marks a significant leap forward for Huawei in terms of technology and design. The November 25 event will undoubtedly captivate tech enthusiasts worldwide as they await details on these highly anticipated releases.
