The panel plate of the Huawei Mate 80 series emerged online, revealing the design discussed in earlier rumors.
The company is now reportedly preparing the lineup, with a leak saying that it is tentatively scheduled for a November debut. Ahead of Huawei’s announcements, a new leak has surfaced revealing its alleged design.
A reputable leaker reported weeks ago that the Mate 80 series has a circular camera island design. A leaked photo of the lineup’s back plate component corroborates this, showing the island that is surrounded by a silver ring. The image also confirms that the phone will be offered in a white colorway.
The series is expected to offer four models: the Huawei Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro+, and Mate 80 RS. The vanilla and Pro models will employ 50MP 1/1.5″ and 50MP 1/1.3″ main cameras. The Pro+ and RS models, on the other hand, are rumored to come with a 50MP 1/1.3″ SmartSens 590 sensor.
According to earlier tips, the series will use the Kirin 9030 chip, which should offer 20% better performance than its predecessor. The models are also expected to offer eSIM support in China, and their batteries are rumored to start at 6000mAh. The main highlight of the series is its alleged unique design, wherein Huawei is reportedly planning to include a waterproof cooling fan in the circular camera island.
