Weibo tipster @SmartPikachu says that HyperOS 2.0 will deliver enhanced animations and network performance. The company has not only worked on the UI segment but also improved the network functioning to offer the best software experience.

The leak specifies an “active intelligent network” for HyperOS 2.0. It could mean that the company will improve the interconnection between devices. Xiaomi may adopt AI algorithms this time to maintain a stable connection between multiple devices.

Active Intelligent network further refers to reliable and stronger cellular signals in devices. It could maintain a good signal despite bad weather or other issues. Things are uncertain but we can expect better network performance with HyperOS 2.0.

Other than network, the tipster hinted at the animation effects. HyperOS 2 will likely bring more upgraded animations than ever before. These might be smoother, faster, and more fluent than the previous software versions.

Xiaomi phone users often complained about the sluggish animations. They used to compare the software with ColorOS 15 and other Android skins. But this time, Xiaomi may resolve the animation and lagging problems with HyperOS 2.0.

A recent HyperOS 2.0 leak demonstrated a brand-new unlock animation. The new addition claims to offer real-time light effects, gradient transitions, and brighter colors on the screen. You can check the complete details of the new animation below.

Weibo tipster @UncleKanshan revealed that Huawei could launch the Hi MateBook 14 PC later this month. It might be available in major stores by October 25th. Meanwhile, the company may release it officially in the last week of this month.

The leak implies that the new notebook will have a 14-inch screen. Due to the “Hi” term, it could be shelved under the WIKO brand in the future. But things aren’t very clear at the moment. Let’s wait for some more days to get exact details on this topic.

A netizen asked if the Hi MateBook will continue the adaptation to Intel and Windows or use HarmonyOS. In response, the tipster confirmed the former option.

Earlier, the Hi MateBook was expected to launch with HarmonyOS PC as the new smart selection product. However, several other inputs mentioned that Huawei’s new computer-dedicated software won’t be launched earlier than Q2 or Q3 2025.

Hence, the Hi MateBook 14 laptop could bring new techs and features but may support the same Windows operating system with an Intel chip.

Alongside Hi MateBook 14, Huawei could also introduce a brand-new MateBook D 16 variant for its users. The details of the new PC is unclear. But we get more info by the end of this month.

Huawei MateBook D16 notebook

The Chinese tech giant unveiled the 2024 version of the MateBook D 16 PC in November 2023. It has a lightweight design, ultra-strong battery life, and new features.

It equips a 16-inch IPS display with 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution and 142 PPI. The screen is capable of 300 nits peak brightness, 100% sRGB color gamut, and 178-degree viewing angle. The device supports a 13th-gen Intel core i9-1390H chipset.

Weibo tipster @FixedFocus implies the Huawei Mate 70 series will equip a new AI motion sensor. This microchip may bring more features similar to air gestures.

AI sensing chip or a motion sensor ultimately tracks and identifies motion or signals made by the user’s hand. It recognizes these signals in real time and tries to process the data in the device to fulfill the user’s command for a particular operation.

These sensors are further combined with 3D depth-sensing lenses, infrared technology, as well as machine learning to provide accurate results in real time.

Huawei will likely use a more advanced AI motion sensor for the Mate 70 series to bring interesting gestures on board. Apart from air gestures, users may find more new motion-based features that will take the interaction to a whole new level.

The company is reportedly imposing new components to the Mate 70 series to deliver a perfect device experience. A recent leak suggested an upgraded ISP camera chip for improved shooting effects. It will likely bring a far better photography experience.

Now an advanced motion sensor seems to be in the components list.

What is Air Gesture?

Air Gesture is a useful capability that enables users to interact with their smartphone or tablet without touching the screen. It relies on AI algorithms and uses ultrasonic waves to detect and understand the hand gestures in front of the display.

One can take screenshots, scroll up and down, or left and right, answer a call, pause or play audio/video, and do various other with Huawei air gestures.

The OEM introduced AI air gesture with Mate 30 Pro. It kept upgrading the feature with new devices. The Pura 70 series is the latest example to support air gestures.

As of now, the tech giant is planning to introduce smarter gestures with the Mate 70 lineup. Let’s see what other changes we will get with the upcoming flagship.

SmartPikachu recently noted that the next-gen digital series – Honor 300 might equip smaller screen sizes than its predecessors. The leak adds that these smartphones will launch next year, probably with a new design and surprising features.

The input doesn’t reveal the display panel size. Hence, the exact parameters of the screen are unclear. Although it will likely be less than the 6.7-inch (Honor 200).

A few netizens predicted that the Honor 300 series screen could be around 6.3 or 6.1-inch. Some said that the company could introduce the standard variant with a smaller screen while keeping the high-end variants confined to large display panels.

Small-screen devices may again become a trend soon. Due to less growth and changes in the smartphone market, many tech vendors ditch the small device idea.

One of the examples is the iPhone 13 mini. Apple stopped launching “Mini” models due to a decline in the respective phone’s sales. On the flip side, Samsung continued to impress its customers with the 6.1-inch standard Galaxy S series handsets.

Honor might be planning a new strategy with the smaller screen phones in the consumer market. The company hasn’t confirmed any details regarding the Honor 300 series. Hence, let’s take the current input with a grain of salt.

The Chinese OEM launched the Honor 200 series in May this year. It has a 6.7-inch OLED screen with 1200 x 2664 pixels resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 4000 nits peak brightness, and 436PPI. The device has 5G and dual-SIM capability.

It runs on Android 14-based MagicOS 8.0 and equips the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset paired with Adreno 720 GPU. The phone features an optical fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, compass, and Circle to Search feature as well.

Honor 200 series sports a tri-cam setup consisting of a 50MP main lens, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto shooter. The front part holds a 50MP selfie sensor for amazing portraits. The device packs a 5200mAh cell with 100W wired and 5W reverse wired charging support.

RuiPlaysDigital mentions that the Huawei Mate 70 series will likely launch as a dual-frame lineup. It will adapt to both a single and double framework for efficiency.

Here, the single framework refers to the self-developed HarmonyOS NEXT apps whereas, the double framework is for Android. It means Huawei may launch an Android-compatible version of the Mate 70 series handsets in the time ahead.

Android-compatible version means that Mate 70 smartphones will be able to run Android applications. At the same time, it will bring HarmonyOS NEXT apps to Chinese consumers to meet their daily requirements with faster and smoother services.

If true, Huawei Mate 70 models will be able to support both HarmonyOS NEXT and Android app versions. This will ultimately enhance the user experience.

Some netizens even see this as a huge relief point as those who don’t want to jump on a new upgrade can continue to choose the old system. Things aren’t clear hence, we have to wait for the official announcement on this subject.

This input further hints that Huawei could unveil the Mate 70 series in the global markets. Last year, the company didn’t launch the Mate 60 models on the overseas platform. However this time, worldwide users may get the chance to explore Mate 70.

Perhaps this could have been a reason behind the Mate 70 series launch delay. Earlier reports claimed that Huawei is optimizing the software part for the Mate 70 models. As a result, the launch may delay from September to November this year.

Apart from the compatibility, the tipster mentioned that the Huawei Mate 70 series may launch in mid to late November. The accuracy of the current leak is still in question. Thus, let’s take this information with a grain of salt for the moment.

Weibo tipster @UncleKanshan notes that Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ will soon get the 16GB + 256GB storage variant. Inputs reveal that the device already has this version. Mate 60 Pro+ 16GB + 256GB variant is available on the online JD.com stores.

However, it is absent from the official or other online shopping channels. The OEM may soon release an official statement on this matter. The leak also hints that the new smartphone storage option would launch in the offline consumer market in future.

The information notes that the Mate 60 Pro+ 256GB storage variant costs 6799 yuan ($960.65). It is less than the 512GB version (7299 yuan) and is expected to focus on offline sales rather than being only available at online shopping channels.

Apart from the storage space, the rest of the parameters will be the same as other Mate 60 Pro+ siblings. Let’s wait for the official announcement on this subject.

Mate 60 Pro+ Specifications

The device has a dimension of 163.65 x 70 x 8.1mm and weighs 225 grams. It has a premium design that exhibits a luxurious feel. The device equips a 6.82-inch OLED screen with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1.07 billion colors, a P3 wide color gamut, a 1440Hz frequency PWM dimming, and a 300Hz touch sampling rate.

Huawei has imposed three punch holes on the top of the device for a 13MP selfie camera and a 3D depth camera with a facial recognition system for unlocking.

Tipster UncleKanshan has recently received a notification regarding the new software. The alert reads that Huawei might launch the HarmonyOS NEXT stable version later this month. However, the exact release date is still unconfirmed.

Huawei launched the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program on October 8. Based on the past revelations, the tipster said that the company could showcase the official version tomorrow (October 15). The news ultimately raised users’ excitement.

The latest information seems accurate. Several early inputs claimed that HarmonyOS NEXT will likely go official in October this year. One of the company’s executives even said that the stable version of the new software will meet consumers in Q4 2024.

In that case, the leaked timeline could be correct to some extent. But we have to wait for an official confirmation before jumping to any conclusions on this matter.

Apart from the software info, the leak mentions that Huawei will release its flagship products in mid-November. The date is marked XX (double digit), which hints the Mate 70 or Mate X6 launch will take place in second/third week of next month.

Some netizens asked if the company will unveil any new small-sized tablets this year. In response, the tipster said that details are currently unknown. Judging from the previous 3C listings and revelations, Huawei may launch more tablets this year.

HarmonyOS NEXT

HarmonyOS NEXT has been distributed in two parts. The first batch of devices is fetching the public beta upgrade (Check the public beta update changelog HERE). Meanwhile, the second batch models are ready for the closed beta version.

The speed in the HarmonyOS NEXT beta rollouts among eligible devices hints that Huawei could unveil the new software’s stable version this month.

Mate 70 series will come with the pre-installed HarmonyOS NEXT. Other devices like the Mate 60 series, Mate X5, and MatePad Pro 13.2 will likely be the first to get the official version. You can check the HarmonyOS NEXT Upgrade Plan HERE.

FixedFocus notes that the upcoming Huawei Kirin 9 series chip may have a “1+3+4” CPU architecture. It will use one self-developed large core, three medium cores, and 4 small cores. It could also use an improved 7nm Pro Plus chipset platform.

A self-developed large core implies better and higher performance. These cores can easily handle heavy tasks like gaming, video editing, and more. The medium and small cores maintain balance and ensure a reduction in power consumption.

7nm Pro Plus hints at a more enhanced chipset platform. Huawei has said to improve its existing 7nm technology rather than focusing on the new 5nm or 3nm ones. The 7nm Pro Plus refers to the company’s new improvements in chip making.

The leak also implies that the OEM may use 8, 6, and 4 channels as per the chipset yield. Here, channels refer to a separate path that enables the CPU to access memory. The number of channels in a processor helps it to interact with memory modules.

For instance, the Quad Channel has four channels to associate with the memory module. The “6-channel and 8-channel” mainly used for servers. A high number of channels also increases bandwidth and results in dynamic computing performance.

Some netizens predicted that Huawei may bring two new Kirin chips for its Mate 70 series. The standard Mate 70 model could use the new Kirin 9 chip. Meanwhile, the high-end variants will likely adopt a 5nm processor with upgraded performance.

The prediction might be accurate to some extent. Huawei has been long-rumored to develop new Kirin chipsets for its flagship products. It seems the processors are in the final development phase and could show up by the end of this year.

Other details about the new chipset such as its name, official parameters, and internal changes are still unknown. Although we will discover these inputs probably with the Mate 70 series launch, seemingly scheduled for November 2024.

X tipster @UniverseIce recently noticed the creativity level of One UI 7.0 in one of its early builds. He says that the software is still in development. But new testing builds hint at positive improvements regarding the User Interface and stability.

The tipster further reveals that One UI 7.0 will bring redesigned widgets and many icons. For instance, the Samsung Gallery app will get a new app icon again.

Not only applications but the upcoming software update may also change the in-content tool and feature icons of the Gallery app. Apart from the Samsung Gallery, users could discover more new innovative app icons with the One UI 7.0 beta.

Speaking of the widgets, the tipster mentioned that One UI 7 will likely bring some incomparably rich widgets. These might deliver smarter tools and capabilities over the rival operating systems. But the details aren’t clear for the time being.
