A new leak sparks excitement for the upcoming HUAWEI Mate 70 series. Weibo tipster @SmartPikachu claims a “super core” Kirin chip could propel the phone to top performance levels.

While details are scarce, earlier leaks hinted at benchmark scores exceeding 1 million points, potentially rivaling the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. This suggests a significant performance boost for HUAWEI’s next flagship.
Adding fuel to the fire, the leak suggests a potential launch window clash with Apple’s iPhone 16 series later this year. This could set the stage for a heated competition between the tech titans.
The rumors extend beyond processing power. The Mate 70 series might be the first to sport HUAWEI’s new HarmonyOS NEXT operating system, ditching Android app support entirely. However, the platform already boasts over 4,000 native apps from Chinese companies, with that number expected to grow.
Furthermore, leaks suggest HUAWEI is ramping up production for the Mate 70, aiming for a 40-50% increase compared to the Mate 60 series. However, it’s important to remember that these are all rumors, and official details from Huawei are still awaited.
