Huawei Mate 70 Air expected to launch in a few days with more than double the battery capacity of the Apple iPhone Air
Following the Apple iPhone Air, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the Motorola Edge 70, the next "Air" smartphone is about to hit the market soon. The Huawei Mate 70 Air has already appeared in hands-on photos shared on the Chinese social network Weibo, while a Huawei store in China has opened reservations for the device.
The smartphone's design is very similar to the regular Huawei Mate 70, but the frame is heavily rounded, which should contribute to the phone's thinner feel. The actual thickness and weight of the Huawei Mate 70 Air are not yet known, but it's unlikely to be quite as slim as the Apple iPhone Air in view of the specs.
The Mate 70 Air is rumored to be getting a massive 6,500 mAh battery that can be charged via USB-C at up to 66 watts. Huawei is also reportedly making fewer compromises with the cameras than the iPhone Air, as the Mate 70 Air is said to feature a 50 MP main camera, a 13 MP ultrawide camera and an 8 MP periscope telephoto camera. A multispectral sensor is expected to ensure natural colors in photos and videos.
According to rumors, the Huawei Mate 70 Air will be officially unveiled on Thursday, November 6. The smartphone is not expected to have a grand launch event and will instead be simply unveiled on Huawei's website. Initially, the Mate 70 Air will be available exclusively in China and there are currently no rumors of an international launch.
