Huawei Mate 70 series camera may use metal frame design for scratch resistance

News regarding the Huawei Mate 70 series suggests that the flagship lineup may use a “metal stud” (frame) design around the camera bump. This implementation will not only glorify the device but also strengthen its optical setup against external damages.

Huawei Mate 70 lineup will likely sport impressive camera features. Apart from the photography experience, the company may also work on the devices’ durability.

Weibo tipster @FixedFocus noted that Mate 60 models faced scratch resistance problems around the camera ring. It carries a normal rim housing the lens part.

Even though the Mate 60 series smartphones are made up of strong material, they allegedly dealt with scratches near the giant optical ring on the back panel.

It seems Huawei may resolve this issue with Mate 70 series by using a “metal stud design” for the camera part. The company could adopt this significant design, making its devices’ camera scratch resistance and more reliable for consumers.

Stud refers to an element used for framing. The metal stud design is considered lightweight framing. It uses coils of zinc-plated sheet steel. The metal stud is highly durable and effectively prevents bending, warping, or rotting conditions.

It is also resistant to water, heat, as well as scratches. Thus, a metal stud design around the Mate 70 series camera could avoid unwanted marks. It is a beneficial element for the long-term and effectively fits with other materials on board.

An early leak claimed that Huawei plans to use an ultra-tough basalt coating for the Mate 70 models. It has plagioclase and pyroxene that increase the toughness by 40%. Hence, making the smartphone tougher against high drops.

Mate 70 design continues to be a mystery. Some inputs say that it will use the same camera ring as its predecessors. The triple front holes may also persist for this lineup. However, the exact outlook is still a secret and might stay until the launch happening.

Although we may hit more revelations regarding the Huawei Mate 70 features, camera parameters, and other capabilities. Stay tuned.
