The Huawei Mate 70 Pro is a premium smartphone tipped to debut with an updated look compared to its predecessor. Now, it is also backed to launch with potentially significant improvements on the 60 Pro in terms of main rear and selfie camera resolution. The OEM might also introduce its latest AI tweaks with the Mate 70 series.

According to a new leak, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro and supposedly upcoming "70 Pro" will have very similar builds - except that the latter's 6.8-inch display will be quad-curved for potentially enhanced bezel control. 

In addition, its XMAGE-branded camera hump is now depicted as having been restyled to resemble a vinyl record - albeit one with 3 lenses set into it. (However, whether its real-life version can live up to the more flattering light of this new render remains to be seen.) 

Those shooters are now rumored to contain a new main sensor that upgrades from the increasingly standard 50MP resolution to 60MP in the newer model and a 48MP ultrawide-angle lens as opposed to 12MP in the 60 Pro. Then again, the 70 Pro might retain its predecessor's 48MP periscope zoom module.

Those cameras are also now believed to come enhanced with mysterious new "AI-DC" optimizations, which may or may not also explain the 2 small squares to either side of this new logo also found toward the bottom of the black disk above the 60 Pro-esque flash.

The Mate 70 Pro is still projected to launch later in 2024 compared to other contemporary flagship handsets, Huawei's inaugural tri-fold smartphone included.
