Huawei to Launch Mate 80 Series with Kirin 9030

According to recent reports, Huawei has confirmed a major product launch event for November 25 at 2:30 PM, where it will introduce the new Mate 80 flagship lineup alongside the Mate X7 foldable device. As the announcement approaches, early leaks have already revealed key details that have drawn strong attention across the consumer electronics community.

The Mate 80 family is expected to include four models: Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro Max, and the Mate 80 RS Extraordinary Master Edition. Notably, the former "Pro+" variant will be replaced by the new Pro Max model.

From a materials and design standpoint, the entire Mate 80 series reportedly adopts an all-metal unibody. If accurate, this would make it one of the first flagship smartphones to successfully address the long-standing challenge of balancing full-metal construction with stable wireless signal performance.

In terms of hardware, all models may feature a flat display, 3D facial recognition, side-mounted fingerprint unlocking, up to 20GB RAM, and a periscope-style dual telephoto camera system. Powering the series is Huawei's new Kirin 9030 chipset, which is rumored to deliver around 20% performance improvement, though real-world results will depend on upcoming benchmarks.

On the software side, the devices will ship with HarmonyOS 6, built on Huawei's latest intelligent agent framework and the "Star River Interconnection" architecture. The system supports transfer speeds up to 160MB/s, with over 20% lower latency and power consumption. More than 80 HarmonyOS-native intelligent agents are already available, including travel, health, ticketing, and medical assistance tools. HarmonyOS 6 also supports cross-platform file sharing with Apple's iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices.

Huawei has announced that pre-orders for the Mate 80 lineup will open on November 17 at 12:08, and color options are now appearing across official online channels and retail experience stores.
