Huawei Mate 70: Rumored to wear a 5nm processor

H Huawei is ready for the release of the series Mate 70which is expected to include new innovative features as well as a 5nm processor.

Last year, the Mate 60 series shocked many as it featured the first Huawei-designed application processor (AP) since the 5nm Kirin 9000 that powered the Mate 40 in 2020. This was also the last Huawei phone to support 5G until last year’s Mate 60 series powered by the 7nm Kirin 9000s AP. The chip was able to break US export rules that prevent foundries from delivering 5G chips to Huawei because it was made by China’s largest foundry, SMIC.

We’ve heard a lot about the Mate 70 series thanks to previous leaks. Now, Digital Chat Station has leaked information about the smartphone on Weibo. According to the leak, the Mate 70 will feature a quad-curved display of unknown size. DCS says the screen sizes will be larger than the Pura 70 series.

The Mate 70 is expected to use a 3D facial recognition system that could make it as secure as Apple’s Face ID. The fingerprint sensor can be moved from under the display to be integrated into the power button. The back panel will be made of non-metallic material.

The rear panel has a huge camera ring and could feature a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultrawide, There could also be a telephoto camera with a periscope lens.

The new Mate 70 series may debut a new internal XMAGE imaging system, while it is expected to be equipped with a new processor.

Digital Chat Station says the new chipset is more energy efficient and has improved performance. This sounds exactly what you would expect when going from a chip made using the 7nm process node to a 5nm chip with a higher transistor count. The problem since then has been that Chinese foundries have been barred from acquiring the extreme UV lithography machines needed to etch complex circuit patterns on the sliced ​​and diced silicon wafers.

There have been rumors that Huawei or SMIC have developed a way to produce 5nm chips using older deep UV lithography machines. We will know for sure if this is the case when the company presents the Mate 70 series in November.
