Huawei Mate70 Series Double Leaks: Appearance, Configuration, and Open-Source HarmonyOS Are All Worth Anticipating

As the release of the Huawei Mate70 series and the official version of HarmonyOS NEXT approaches, consumer anticipation for Huawei's new phones is growing. Huawei has always maintained a leading position in technological innovation, and with each new release, it hopes to deliver surprises. Recently, leaks about both Huawei's new phone and its operating system have sparked heated discussion. Let's take a look at these highly anticipated pieces of news and what they mean for the future of Huawei phones and the HarmonyOS system.

Huawei Mate70 Series: Classic Design and Powerful Configuration

According to a blogger, the Huawei Mate70 series will retain the classic combination of circular and polygonal camera module design seen in previous generations, while also adding a side-mounted power button unlock function for a new functional experience. Additionally, the side-mounted fingerprint sensor will offer a new gameplay, potentially enabling features like body information detection.

While the blogger also mentioned that the Mate70 series might have a significant production pressure, even requiring users to scramble for purchases, previous leaks suggest that the supply will increase at least 40%. Considering the Mate60 series' potential sales of over 30 million units, it's expected that the Huawei Mate70 series will have a supply of over 40 million units. Therefore, even with high demand, it shouldn't affect user purchases.

The Huawei Mate70 series will not only be powered by the Kirin 9100 processor but also feature 3D facial recognition as standard, a domestically produced high-pixel main camera from OmniVision, and the official version of HarmonyOS NEXT. These advantages are enough to attract users and stimulate their desire to purchase.

Open-Source HarmonyOS: Android Compatibility Opens a New Ecological Pattern

Regarding the open-source HarmonyOS, a blogger reported traces of an Android container hidden in the OpenHarmony source code. Its implementation is very similar to how HarmonyOS 3/4 runs the OpenHarmony container. This hints that in certain scenarios, like the promotional event at the launch conference, HarmonyOS NEXT might support running Android apps.

This has sparked enthusiastic discussions among users because Android's popularity in overseas markets is extremely high. As Huawei is unable to use Google's GMS services, promoting HarmonyOS in overseas markets has always been a challenge. Previous leaks have suggested the Mate70 series will feature a dual-framework system, namely a "pure-blood HarmonyOS" and an Android-compatible version, aiming to reduce user migration costs and accelerate the expansion of the HarmonyOS ecosystem globally.

According to the blogger, HarmonyOS NEXT will provide an interface that enables Android to interact with HarmonyOS, but Huawei will not handle this themselves. Domestic manufacturers can develop Android-compatible systems based on HarmonyOS. Some netizens believe this is similar to Android's previous compatibility with HarmonyOS, implying that HarmonyOS might be able to install APK files directly in the future.

Regardless of the final outcome, this compatibility will have a significant impact on future ecosystem development. It's worth noting that data released by Huawei at its developer conference shows that the top 5000 apps, which account for 99.9% of user usage time, have all joined the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Over 1500 of these apps have been uploaded, covering 18 different fields. While the number of applications for the HarmonyOS ecosystem still lags behind the millions on Android, current daily use has become less strenuous.

Importantly, the leaks don't suggest HarmonyOS is simply a repackaged Android. It's more akin to running Linux containers using Docker on Windows, where neither "repackages" the other.

Conclusion: The Future of the Huawei Mate70 Series and Open-Source HarmonyOS Is Bright

Based on the leaked information, the Huawei Mate70 series' design, configuration, and system are all worth anticipating. The classic design, powerful performance, and Android-compatible open-source HarmonyOS, coupled with Huawei's consistent innovative spirit, suggest that the new device and operating system will bring users a whole new experience. How Huawei will further develop the HarmonyOS system and build a complete ecosystem in the future is also worth watching.
