Huawei unveiled the Mate 70 Air approximately one year ago, entering the 'thin smartphone' segment. A Weibo tipster now claims the Mate 80 Air will launch next month. However, the Mate Pad Mini 2 successor will not launch alongside the handset, despite potential December release.
The tablet is expected to run Harmony OS 7 from day one. Regarding specifications, a separate tipster indicated the upcoming Air device will launch within the next two months, starting with 12GB of RAM and retaining the predecessor's circular camera island. Previous leaks suggest 3D face recognition will be absent on the new model.
The Mate 70 Air measures 6.6mm thick, a key selling point, though it remains uncertain if the successor will be thinner. Earlier rumors suggested it could go even thinner. The Mate 80 Air is expected to feature the Kirin 9030 chipset and a curved screen.
