Delhi, December 3, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau)- Chinese smartphone giant Huawei unveiled the Mate 70 series last week with artificial intelligence (AI) features designed to take on Apple, which is yet to release AI features in China.
The Chinese HarmonyOS Next powers the new device and will have features such as improved photography, live transcription and translation of phone calls.
Over three million people had also signed up on Huawei’s website to reserve it.
This comes after the previous release of the Mate 60 Pro catapulted Huawei to the top of China’s smartphone market, all because it had a tiny computer chip more advanced than any previously made by a Chinese company.
Huawei’s market share more than doubled, reaching half of the Chinese market this year while in 2022, three-quarters of the high-end smartphones sold in China were iPhones.
This also underlines the struggle between China and the US for dominance over advanced chip technology, with policymakers in Washington having spent years trying to prevent Chinese companies from being able to make the kind of chip Huawei uses in its Mate phone.
Summary: The Huawei Mate 70 debuts, featuring advanced AI capabilities designed to rival Apple’s market leadership in China.
