Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Huawei launched its newest cellphone product, Huawei Mate 70 in Shenzhen, China. This latest product showcases China’s manufacturing capabilities smartphone premium with a home-made operating system and devices without United States technology support.
President Commissioner of Huawei Consumer Group, Richard Yu, stated that the Mate 70 is the most powerful Mate series in history.
Reuters reports that the Mate 70 is the first cellphone that can directly connect to satellites. This cellphone is also equipped with a HarmonyOS Next processor and operating system which makes its performance 40 percent better than the Mate 60.
This launch comes ahead of the announcement of a new US export ban policy. Reportedly, the US will announce that 200 Chinese chip companies are prohibited from purchasing goods from US companies.
The Mate 70 is the first cellphone to use the HarmonyOS Next operating system. Unlike the Harmony OS operating system which can still function in the Android ecosystem, HarmonyOS Next is completely independent of Android.
Huawei stated that this new operating system can be used as a “home” for more than 15,000 mobile applications and more than 100,000 other applications in the near future.
The previous Mate series cellphone, namely the Huawei Mate 60, was released in August 2024. At that time, the launch of the Mate 60 caused a stir in the world because it showed China’s ability to produce advanced chips that previously could only be obtained from US companies.
The spirit of nationalism that Huawei echoes with its newest products has made its sales soar after years of being absent from the premium cellphone market. The popularity of the Mate and Pura series cellphones made by Huawei has also made competition in China’s premium cellphone market tight and caused iPhone sales in China to suffer significantly.

The Huawei Mate 70: Satellite Connects and National Pride
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Gather around, tech fans! Huawei has just launched its newest gadget, the Huawei Mate 70, right in the bustling tech hub of Shenzhen, China. Now, hold on to your smartphones, folks, because this isn’t just any launch. This phone showcases China’s manufacturing prowess — it’s like the Great Wall, but for mobile tech and without any pesky American tech support! How do you like them apples? Or should I say, Androids?
Richard Yu, the President Commissioner of Huawei Consumer Group, claims this device is the “most powerful Mate series in history!” You know, that’s a bold claim. I mean, if the Mate 70 had a wrestling match against all its predecessors, it would probably body slam them all into oblivion. It’s the world champion of smartphones — unless, of course, your smartphone is an iPhone, then it’s just gently tapping them on the shoulder and asking them to step aside, mate!
Now, get this: according to a Reuters report, this piece of technology is the first cellphone that can connect directly to satellites. I can hear the complaints from parents already: “Why are you taking so long to answer my call?!” “Sorry, Mum, I was just trying to connect to the satellites! Blame Huawei!”
But it’s not just about satellite connections; this baby is equipped with the HarmonyOS Next processor, which allegedly makes performance 40% better than the Mate 60. Because who needs to be normal when you can be better than average, right? Seriously though, that’s quite a boast — it would be like me claiming I’m 40% funnier every time I tell a joke. Which, spoiler alert, is never!
The timing couldn’t be more interesting, though. This launch conveniently coincides with an upcoming announcement of a new U.S. export ban policy, targeting 200 Chinese chip companies. It’s almost like a soap opera plot twist! You couldn’t write this stuff. “Dramatic irony, meet major smartphone launch.”
Now let’s hop over to the software side of things! The Mate 70 takes the reins with the HarmonyOS Next, leaving its predecessor, Harmony OS, in the dust. Unlike its older sibling, which could still skulk around the Android ecosystem, HarmonyOS Next is flying solo. Think of it as that one friend who finally decided to stop crashing at your place and got their own apartment. Good for them, really! Huawei claims it’s a “home” for over 15,000 mobile apps and promises another 100,000 in the near future. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted a home that has more apps than I have socks.
The previous Mate series phone, the Mate 60, dropped in August 2024 and made quite the splash. Remember when it revealed China’s ability to produce advanced chips previously sourced from the U.S.? It was like China was saying, “Hold my tea; watch this!” That little technological flex showed everyone that they weren’t just good at assembling phones — they could innovate too.
And speaking of flexing, the wave of nationalism Huawei is riding with its new products has boosted sales dramatically after what felt like an eternity absent from the premium cellphone market. You can imagine the iPhone sales team nervously sweating bullets. “Oh no! Is it the returns policy or the Mate series causing this decline?!” Ah, competition breeds innovation!
In conclusion, the Mate 70 is not just a smartphone; it’s a testament to China’s technological evolution and a bold statement against the ongoing U.S.-China trade tussle. In case you’re wondering, yes, Huawei does seem to be laughing all the way to the bank. So, will the Mate 70 reign supreme or just fizzle out? Only time will tell, but for now, it’s definitely making waves! And just like the satellite connection, it’s certainly out of this world!
Until next time, stay tech-savvy and keep your smartphones fully charged. You never know when you’ll need to call those satellites!
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Huawei has officially unveiled its latest smartphone, the Huawei Mate 70, during a highly anticipated launch event in Shenzhen, China. This new product not only symbolizes Huawei’s commitment to innovation but also highlights China’s prowess in manufacturing premium smartphones, boasting a fully domestic operating system and hardware that operates independently of technologies from the United States.
Richard Yu, President Commissioner of Huawei Consumer Group, proudly proclaimed that the Mate 70 stands as the most powerful iteration in the esteemed Mate series to date, setting a new benchmark for performance and capability within the smartphone industry.
In a groundbreaking move, Reuters has reported that the Mate 70 is the inaugural smartphone capable of direct satellite connectivity, a feature that could revolutionize communication in remote areas. This device is powered by the advanced HarmonyOS Next processor, which enhances its overall performance by an impressive 40 percent compared to its predecessor, the Mate 60.
This significant launch comes on the heels of anticipated new restrictions from the United States regarding export policies affecting Chinese technology. Allegations suggest that the US plans to impose bans on approximately 200 Chinese chip manufacturers, prohibiting them from acquiring goods from US suppliers.
The Mate 70 is introduced as the first smartphone equipped with the HarmonyOS Next operating system. In contrast to the original HarmonyOS, which retains operational compatibility with the Android ecosystem, the new HarmonyOS Next functions independently, marking a significant technological advancement for Huawei.
Huawei asserts that the innovative operating system will serve as a hub for over 15,000 mobile applications and an anticipated expansion to more than 100,000 applications in the near future, further enhancing its ecosystem for users.
The previous release in the Mate series, the Huawei Mate 60, was launched in August 2024 and garnered global attention for showcasing China’s ability to produce high-end chips, which had previously relied heavily on imports from American companies. This development underscored a significant shift in the technological landscape.
Huawei’s branding strategy, which emphasizes nationalism through its latest products, has resulted in a remarkable resurgence in sales after a prolonged absence from the premium smartphone segment. The increasing popularity of the Mate and Pura series has intensified competition in China’s premium smartphone arena, significantly affecting the sales figures for iPhones within the country.
