Sophisticated design, maintaining distinctive language
The Huawei Mate 70 Pro+ maintains the Mate series' signature design language,
while adding subtle details. The camera cluster is decorated with European-style rivets, bringing a familiar elegance to long-time users.
The arrangement of the lenses and flash is reminiscent of the Mate 50 series, but this version has added a lot of completely new elements.
The most prominent is the “Red Maple” camera sensor - introduced as the smallest sensor ever on a smartphone, located above th

While the purpose of this sensor remains a mystery, its presence suggests that Huawei is working on a new breakthrough that could redefine the concept of photography on phones.
Versatile camera system with unique materials
The Mate 70 Pro+ rear camera system includes:
- Main camera with flexible aperture
- Periscope telephoto lens
- Ultra wide angle camera
This demonstrates Huawei's commitment to providing a diverse and high-quality photography experience. In addition, the back of the device is made from a combination of glass fiber and resin, which is both durable and luxurious.
Notably, the Mate 70 Pro+ uses a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, suggesting that the internal design of the device is extremely sophisticated. The device's antenna technology is also said to be significantly improved, although the connection between it and the raised camera cluster is still unclear.
Impressive display and modern design
Leaked real-life images of the Mate 70 Pro series show a front design with a quad-deep micro-curved screen (four corners are slightly curved) and a triple punch-hole camera cluster. This design is completely different from previous versions, showing a more modern trend in the technology industry.
Huawei is expected to launch four versions of the Mate 70, including the standard, Pro, Pro+ and Ultimate Design. Of which, the two highest-end versions will have superior specifications, especially the Ultimate Design version with an exclusive back finish, bringing a luxurious look and a high price.

In addition to the design, Huawei also announced that the Mate 70 series will be equipped with the new generation HarmonyOS operating system, completely developed by the company, no longer dependent on Android. This operating system promises to bring a new user experience thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models in the Kirin chipset.
The Mate 70 models could be powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 9100 chip, manufactured on a 6nm process by SMIC, with performance comparable to the Snapdragon 888 or Dimensity 9000. The Mate 70 and Mate 70 Pro will come in Black, White, Green, and Purple color options, with 12GB of RAM and three storage capacities: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
The Mate 70 Pro+ will have a more unique color palette with two versions of Black and White with special finishes, along with two colors of Gold and Sky Blue. This high-end version is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and two storage options of 512 GB or 1 TB.
