Huawei Mate 80 Series: Anticipated Launch and Design Leaks
The forthcoming Huawei Mate 80 series is poised to enter the Chinese market imminently. While a specific launch date remains undisclosed by Huawei, the devices have recently received the necessary certifications for sale within the country.
Recent imagery of the Mate 80 series has emerged, providing preliminary insights into the rear panel design. These images indicate a significant aesthetic alteration to the camera module, departing from the design of the preceding Mate 70 series. The redesigned circular camera housing is a notable visual element.

The rear camera configuration appears to incorporate a triple-lens setup, arranged in a triangular formation. The top lens is hypothesized to be a periscope telephoto unit. The two lenses positioned beneath are presumed to be the primary and ultrawide cameras.

The camera arrangement also features dual LED flash modules. The circular camera housing is encircled by what appears to be a steel ring. The purpose of the additional flash module is currently speculative, but possibilities include housing a color or light sensor. The second leaked image reveals a yellow color variant of the Mate 80 series.

Beyond the design modifications to the rear camera module, the remaining aesthetic features of the phone are reported to be consistent with the established design language of the Mate 70 lineup.
The final leaked image showcases the Mate 80 series in conjunction with what appears to be the official protective cases for the devices.
The Huawei Mate 80 series is anticipated to comprise the Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, and Mate 80 Pro+ models. The specifications are expected to include support for fast charging up to 100W, the integration of new Kirin SoCs, and, in at least one variant, a built-in cooling fan. Furthermore, Huawei is projected to introduce the Mate 80 RS, which is rumored to feature a titanium frame and a dual-layer OLED screen.
