The Coming Huawei Mate70 Series: A Dilemma Created by HarmonyOS NEXT

Since the rise of Huawei smartphones, their pace of development in the market has been accelerating, evident in both the frequency of new phone releases and the speed of operating system optimization. Recent news about Huawei phones has sparked anticipation among many fans. According to a blogger, the upcoming Mate70 series will bring both good and bad news, both of which will have a profound impact on fans and Huawei's future development.

Good News: The Mate70 Series is Coming, with Major Upgrades in Core Configuration

The latest news indicates that development of the Huawei Mate70 series is accelerating. Previous reports suggested that the Huawei Nova13 series would be released this month, and the MateX6 would arrive next month. It is safe to assume that the Mate70 series will not be far behind.

Based on leaked information, the Huawei Mate70 series will feature several upgraded configurations:

• Core Configuration: It is expected to be the first to feature the Kirin 9100 processor and HarmonyOS NEXT, making it the first phone to run this operating system.

• Screen: It will feature a 1.5K resolution screen that supports a 2160Hz high refresh rate and high-frequency PWM dimming, further enhancing the visual experience.

• Fingerprint Recognition: The standard model is expected to adopt side-mounted fingerprint recognition + 3D face recognition, while other versions will incorporate optical fingerprint + 3D face recognition for enhanced security.

• Imaging: Some models will feature a domestically-produced OmniVision one-inch large-aperture main camera and OV50K sensor, supporting ten-stage physical variable aperture and Huawei's self-developed XMAGE imaging algorithm for improved shooting performance.

These upgraded configurations undoubtedly make the Huawei Mate70 series highly anticipated. Its release will inevitably generate significant market buzz.

Bad News: Pure HarmonyOS Faces Adaptability Challenges, Presenting a Dilemma for Huawei

However, behind the good news lies some challenges. The blogger reveals that Huawei may adopt a dual-framework service model in the future, implying that Huawei will have to choose between Android system compatibility and a pure HarmonyOS. While no final decision has been made, this choice will spark considerable debate.

Experience videos from users who have upgraded to HarmonyOS NEXT demonstrate impressive system smoothness. However, pure HarmonyOS faces several challenges, one of the most significant being app compatibility.

As pure HarmonyOS is no longer compatible with Android apps and only supports native apps based on the HarmonyOS kernel, many existing apps need adaptation to run on this system. Since pure HarmonyOS is still in its early stages, with a relatively small user base and scale, many app developers are reluctant to invest in adaptation work, leading to slow progress.

While many manufacturers are accelerating adaptation efforts, the pressure to complete the process by November remains immense.

Therefore, Huawei faces two decision paths:

• Conservative Path: Continue maintaining compatibility with Android, such as adopting a dual-framework compatibility model for the Huawei Mate70 series, ensuring a seamless transition for users.

• Aggressive Path: Completely abandon the Android system and fully embrace pure HarmonyOS, building a more independent and self-sufficient software ecosystem.

However, maintaining compatibility with Android may weaken the independence and autonomy of HarmonyOS. The final decision will rest on Huawei's choice.

HarmonyOS NEXT and Kirin Chip Collaboration Brings New Functionality

It is noteworthy that Huawei's pure HarmonyOS, paired with Huawei's Kirin chipset, will introduce new features for the Mate70 phones and GT5 watch (equipped with the Xuanji chip) and perception chips. These features include functionalities similar to Huawei's "Gesture Control" feature.

Conclusion: The Future of the Huawei Mate70 Series Depends on the Decision

Despite the challenges of decision-making, the arrival of HarmonyOS NEXT undoubtedly adds a significant highlight to the Huawei Mate70 series. Huawei's decision will ultimately determine the future direction of the Mate70 series. We eagerly await the outcome.
