It’s time to start the first weekly recap of March with the Huawei Mate 70 series that could feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Other topics in this recap include the Huawei P70 series color, new chipset, AI, Android 15, industry, and more.

Huawei Mate 70:

The top-end version of the Huawei Mate 70 series could equip an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The company is currently using optical fingerprint scanners on all of the flagship and non-flagship models across all devices.

Huawei P70:

New input from DigitalChatStation suggests that the Huawei P70 series will use the Kirin 9000 series 5G chipset for all variants. The company has been producing high-density batteries and wireless charging improvements for these devices.

The Chinese tech maker is also working on improved stock supply orders for this flagship phone. At an estimate, the company could increase 50 percent Huawei P70 stock of CIS stock this year.

A new color Rococo Gray has been planned to be introduced with this year’s Huawei P70 series. The company brought Rococo White with the Huawei P60 series which was quite popular.

Android 15:

Google is said to be developing a new Android version with a more robust WebView to prevent crashes in real time. Specific changes in WebView remain unknown.

Industry:

Nokia is reportedly replacing Huawei’s network equipment from German telecom sites with its own Open Ran technologies. This change is likely to influence over 3000 sites across Germany.

Chinese industry regulators have published a notification of TD Tech’s acquisition by Huawei.

Previously, it was confirmed that Huawei and Chengdu High-Tech firm planned to buy 100 percent ownership of TD Tech. This means that Nokia would now be exiting its way out from this joint venture with Huawei.

Apple:

Last week, Apple announced a new discount on iPhones through Chinese e-commerce platforms such as JD.com and TMall. All of the iPhone models are now down up to $180 compared to previous prices.

Chinese analyst believes that the latest price change is due to the growing competition and the return of Huawei in the flagship market.

New Wi-Fi Router:

Huawei may unveil a new generation of Wi-Fi routers at the launch event including better networking for customers.

AI

At MWC 2024, Huawei announced an expansion of its cloud computing and AI business in several markets and product lineups. It will introduce a new dynamic AI cloud computing center in Hong Kong this year and it will be the first AI center outside of China.

That’s it for this weekly recap, we will bring you another next week, so stay tuned.
