Huawei is currently accelerating production of the Mate 70 series in preparation for its launch in November, supply chain sources told Chinese media outlet Star Market Daily. The production volume of Mate 70 components in November is expected to be around 50% higher than in the same period for the Mate 60 series, the report said. On June 21, Yu Chengdong, Chairman of Huawei’s Terminal Business Group, said that the Huawei Mate 70 series will be the first smartphone to officially feature HarmonyOS NEXT, a self-developed operating system that only supports HarmonyOS native apps. As of the end of June, the Huawei Mate 60 series, launched last August, has reportedly surpassed 10 million units in sales. [Star Market Daily, in Chinese]
