The Huawei Mate 70 series is expected to include four handsets, similar to the preceding Honor Mate 60 lineup. According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), the awaited lineup will include the vanilla Huawei Mate 70, Huawei Mate 70 Pro, Huawei Mate 70 Pro+, and Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design.

The tipster claims that the Huawei Mate 70 series smartphones will have thinner, narrower, and more rounded designs than the existing Mate 60 series. They are said to feature large, centred rear camera modules. The tipster added that the series will likely be unveiled in China in mid-November.

The Huawei Mate 70 series phones are expected to offer better battery life compared to current Mate 60 models, which are equipped with up to 5,000mAh batteries. Tipster Fixed Focus Digital (translated from Chinese) claimed in a Weibo post that the Mate 70 handsets carry batteries smaller than 6,000mAh. They are speculated to get 5,500 or 5,700mAh cells.

Another tipster Smart Pikachu suggested in a Weibo post that the Huawei Mate 70 lineup will be equipped with Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for security. 

Meanwhile, a Huawei Central report shared leaked images of the Huawei Mate 70 series camera protectors. These showed the camera layout design of the rumoured smartphones.
