Huawei Mate 70 series announced: A clean-cut divorce from Android and the USA

Huawei’s Mate 70 series are officially announced, breaking away from Android with its proprietary HarmonyOS NEXT operating system.
China-based Huawei has just announced the Huawei Mate 70 series in a move that decidedly indicates Huawei’s total break-up with US technology, both on the hardware and software fronts.
That’s right, the new Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and Mate 70 RS not only don’t feature any hardware supplied from a US company––the new phones won’t run regular Android apps either.
One shouldn’t expect to see Huawei’s latest phones announced in the US: it goes without saying that you’ll have to go through a ton of hurdles to get one of these in the US.
Despite half a decade of US-imposed sanctions, Huawei has managed to achieve impressive double-digit sales growth in China, where it traditionally holds a strong market position
What else is intriguing about the Mate 70 series?
Design

All four Mate 70 devices feature a similar and rather standard design language. The regular Mate 70 employs a cookie-cutter design with a flat frame and flat screen, as is the trend these days, but the Mate 70 Pro and Pro+ models boast quad-curved displays. Such a design choice is definitely an outlier in late 2024.
There’s a large protruding camera island on all four models with a large ring surrounding it. This assembly houses all cameras and sensors at the rear.
Interestingly, the Mate 70 Pro and Mate 70 Pro+ boast triple punch holes at the front. One is for the selfie camera, but the other two are for the Face ID-like biometric unlocking and gesture-based navigation that Huawei’s new phones feature.
Endurance is a key point on all: the Mate 70 series features IP69 water and dust resistance, which brings protection against strong water jets.
Colors-wise, the Mate 70 and Mate 70 Pro will be available in Spruce Green, Hyacinth Purple, Snow White, and Obsidian Black.
