Huawei’s Mate 70 Air: When will it hit the shelves?
Everyone’s curiosity is tingling – the new Mate 70 Air is set to be Huawei’s next flagship, and South African tech lovers want to know when it will go on sale. Although the company hasn’t officially announced the model, the clues point to a November launch.
What we know so far
Over the last two years, Huawei has been a bit flexible with launch dates.
- The Mate 60 Pro unexpectedly appeared in September 2023.
- The Mate 70 series only launched in late November of last year.
Early leaks suggest the next Mate models will also arrive in November.
- That means the first Mate 70 Air could start selling in the same month as the upcoming Mate 80.
Tech tipster UncleKanshan said Huawei is likely to launch the Mate 70 Air by the end of this month.
- He points to a possible unveiling on 29 October – tomorrow.
The company might officially roll out the ultra‑thin phone next month.
- Expect it to hit the shelves after 6 November – but not before.
