The Chinese tech giant has shared a new poster on the Huawei Mall for the Nova 13 series. The image highlights the standard and Pro models with a price question:

“Price: ¥2??9/¥3??9 | Pre-order to win a gift | Post your order and stand a chance to win starry handbags”

Note that the 2xx9 yuan price is for standard whereas the 3xx9 yuan is for the Pro variant. It indicates that the Huawei Nova 13 series starting price will be below 3000 yuan. It’s a relief to those who thought the cost may exceed 3000 yuan this time.

Last year, Huawei launched three models in the Nova 12 series: Standard, Pro, and Ultra. A Lite version also accompanied the lineup. These devices start pricing at:

• Nova 12 Lite (256GB) – 2499 yuan
• Nova 12 (256GB) – 2999 yuan
• Nova 12 Pro (256GB) – 3999 yuan
• Nova 12 Ultra (512GB) – 4699 yuan

Judging from the new posters and price of the Nova 12/12 Pro, it seems the Nova 13 series may bear the same cost tag as its predecessors. To know the exact details, we have to wait till the official unveiling of both smartphones.

DigitalChatStation shared the Huawei Mate X6 screen protector image. He adds that the peripheral materials (here, accessories) of the new foldable are ready.

By looking at the image, we can see that the Huawei Mate X6 will have a rounded-corners display. The screen part mostly appears flat but slightly curved due to the plastic wrapping. Speaking of the bezels around the screen, it appears quite narrow.

An early leak suggested the Huawei Mate X6 will use a super flat display for effective visuals. The device could also use the UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) panel to offer a comfortable feel on the hands. The latest leak confirms this point to some extent.

Overall appearance of the front side seems a bit different from previous-gen models. The tech giant might also have saved changes for the backend of the foldable, which is still a mystery. The company won’t take much time to show the device.

Note that the front single punch-hole design is missing from the screen protector. The details on this matter will get clear with more revelations.

Mate X6 accessories hints that Huawei is all set to unveil the new foldable next month. The device may launch alongside or a few days later from the Mate 70 series unveiling. The company hasn’t confirmed the release date yet for this folding phone.

After the Mate 70 series, Mate X6 could be the next to adopt HarmonyOS NEXT. The new software system is running in the public beta phase for selected devices and will go stable with the flagship Mate 70 smartphone launch.

Coming back, the Mate X6 may also introduce a new Kirin 5G chip, AI capabilities, and some upgraded satellite features. It might use the same circular camera design as the predecessor but with better imaging capabilities.

Other parameters of the device are unknown but we will keep you posted with the latest details, leaks, and revelations on this matter.

The company and its senior executives have begun teasing the Honor X60 series on Weibo. In the latest edition, a teaser of a 6600mAh battery has surfaced saying:

“Good mobile phone with good battery life and more durable! #HonorX60Series# is equipped with an Honor Qinghai Lake battery for the first time. Whether it is strong or not, you have the final say!”

Looking into the teaser image, the Honor X60 series reflects a 6600mAh large battery. The lithium cell claims to offer the best battery life and gives a big relief to users from constant charging. It can keep the device alive for 2 days straight.

While many smartphones pack 6000mAh and above batteries, the X60 series cell capacity directly turned to 6600mAh which shows battery life at a new peak!

Now here comes an important point! An early hands-on image claimed that the Honor X60 possesses a 5800mAh battery. It means the 6600mAh cell is for the Pro model.

Qinghai Lake battery tech is Honor’s first silicon-carbon negative electrode cell technology. It is familiar for increasing the cell capacity and enhancing its longevity.

The Qinghai Lake battery solution is further linked with low-voltage charge polymerization to increase the battery power in the device. And let’s not forget the E1 chip that helps with precise energy efficiency as well as power management.

It would be worth seeing what more flagship-level specifications the Honor X60 series will bring to the consumer platform.

FixedFocus revealed earlier that the Mate 70 and Pro models may use a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The high-end variants could continue to sport an optical fingerprint solution. Now the same tipster added more insights to the topic.

The tipster says the Huawei Mate 70 side fingerprint solution occupies less space on the device. It is an average yet improved fingerprint scanner that eases the unlocking experience. The OEM aims to offer the best fingerprint recognition with Mate 70.

Unlike the under-display or rear-mounted solutions, a side fingerprint sensor seems more easily accessible. It may also deliver faster recognition times. Being on the side, it is said to occupy less space and can lead to fewer bezels around the screen.

The tipster eventually said the Huawei Mate 70 side-mounted fingerprint solution will provide the best unlocking experience to users.

A few netizens further speculated that the company will likely opt for a 3D side-mounted fingerprint solution. Such scanners use ultrasonic tech to generate a 3D impression of a user’s fingerprint. It also protects from fake fingerprint scenarios.

It is unclear if Huawei will adopt a 3D side-mounted fingerprint solution or an ordinary one for the Mate 70 series. Although the device will likely deliver a better unlocking experience over other models with the same technology.

Another tipster in the comment section hints that the Mate 70 has a slim but spacious body. It can easily stack many components. The company has also enhanced the thermal conditions of the device, avoiding overheating and related problems.

Everything combined, the Mate 70 series may deliver an improved and far better unlocking experience with the side-mounted fingerprint scanner. An official confirmation awaits on this matter. Though things will get clear in the coming days.

Huawei is making significant upgrades to its upcoming Mate lineup. One of the inputs said that the company will make noteworthy changes to the device’s design. It may adopt a more flat frame than previous-generation smartphones.

The manufacturing and components of these flagship models seem a bit expensive. But that won’t affect the overall pricing of the device. Let’s see what major upgrades the lineup will bring on board.

The company has already confirmed to unveil the Honor X60 series on 16 October. As of now, it has started increasing the excitement of users with new teasers.

Looking into the teaser, Honor aligned four X60 models in an X-shape design. The company didn’t reveal the device’s key specs, but wrote an interesting caption:

“Whimpering: On October 16, Brother Jiang Hairong-Harrison will bring a hardcore challenge, guess what it is? #HonorX60Series#”

According to the image, the Honor X60 series will likely have four colors: White, Cyan, Orange, and Silver or Black. The orange variant shows a plain leather texture on the back. Whereas, the While and Cyan shades exhibit a rococo pattern.

The difference is also visible in terms of the camera module. This time, the company is showing two different camera bumps on the X60 models. One of these has a thick circular rim with four lens openings (two seem closed) in the inner circle.

Although the white color variant shows a Mate 60 Pro-like camera bump. The lenses are embedded in the outer circle, leaving the center empty with MATRIX branding. The LED flash appears at the top while one lens is on the side.

One of the models highlights a pill-shaped dual-hole design on the front side for the selfie sensor. The design is different from the previous alleged hands-on image of the X60. Perhaps, this new model could be the X60 Pro smartphone. It also shows speakers on the upper side for clear calling scenarios.

The overall appearance looks a bit slimmer than the previous models and has simple round corners with a dual-curved screen. The company will reveal the secret behind the different camera modules on October 16. Stay tuned.
