The engineering machine of Huawei Mate 70 has been exposed. According to the whistleblower, Huawei is unique in its biometric function, using a combination of 3D face recognition + side physical fingerprint.

Huawei has been using 3D face recognition for many years, and it is not surprising that it continues to be used on the Mate 70. After all, it is one of the safest commercial recognition methods. This also means that the Huawei Mate 70 series will continue to use the oval screen hole solution, otherwise there will be no space for the front camera and 3D recognition module.



In terms of fingerprint recognition, the Huawei Mate 70 series will use a side physical fingerprint solution. The advantages of this solution are fast recognition speed and high accuracy, but it has large limitations in usage. It is only suitable for use with the right thumb and is not as convenient as a screen fingerprint.

Of course, the side fingerprint also has its advantages. At least Huawei's design in the screen part will be more flexible, and it may even help improve the slimness of the phone.

The Huawei Mate 70 series will adopt a different new machine strategy from the Mate 60 series, and the screen sizes of the standard version and the Pro version will be slightly different. The screen of the Huawei Mate 70 standard version is smaller, giving consumers more choices in size, while also reducing some costs and making it more affordable.

In terms of imaging, the Huawei Mate 70 series will use more domestic alternative components. For the main camera, Huawei will use OmniVision's 1-inch sensor module, which actually performs better than IMX 989.
