Huawei Mate 70 Air revealed with 6,000 mAh battery and 7-inch display in ultra-thin case

After the Huawei Mate 70 Air was first spotted in photos a few days ago, further images have now surfaced online, showing the slim smartphone with its strongly rounded frame in detail. Featuring a glossy frame, a round camera module, and a heavily textured back, the smartphone offers a modern look in typical Huawei style.

Reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has uncovered some new details about the specs. Accordingly, the Huawei Mate 70 Air, with a thickness of approximately 6.6 millimeters, is about one millimeter thicker than the Apple iPhone Air, but with a battery capacity between 6,000 and 6,500 mAh, it also has a battery that is about twice as large, thus circumventing the iPhone Air's biggest weakness. The battery is reportedly charged via USB-C with up to 66 watts, but it has not yet been confirmed whether wireless charging is possible.

Weighing in at 208 grams, the Huawei Mate 70 Air is barely lighter than many thicker smartphones, which is likely due in no small part to its sheer size. According to rumors, the smartphone will feature a 7-inch display with an 18.8:9 aspect ratio, meaning the screen will be significantly wider than most of its competitors. No further details on the price and availability of the Huawei Mate 70 Air are known at this time, but rumors suggest that sales in China will begin in a few days, possibly later this week.
