The Huawei Mate 70 Air is gaining notice for its superior battery capacity. Now, reports indicate the upcoming Mate 80 flagship could feature a significantly larger battery, ranging from 6500 to 7000mAh.
Following the Mate 70 Air’s debut, predictions for the Mate 80’s battery capacity surfaced on Weibo, and one now seems to be correct.
SuperDimensional said that the Huawei Mate 80 series battery capacity may range between 6500 to 7000mAh. If true, it would be a major improvement over the past few generations.
In accordance with earlier reports from DigitalChatStation, Huawei is working on higher-density batteries and has tested a 7000mAh cell. The tipster adds, however, that this solution is slated to debut with the Pura 90 series in 2026.
The tipster further mentioned that Huawei plans to seed a 6000mAh cell to the Mate 80 series. This is already a big upgrade over the previous-gen Mate handsets.
By introducing a 5700mAh cell and altering specifications for global variants, the Pura 80 series initiated the first dynamic change in Huawei’s battery strategy this year—a move perceived as major within the industry.

The upcoming Mate 80 series may see Huawei building on this progress. The company’s recent launch of an ultra-thin phone with a 6500mAh battery suggests this capacity could be replicated in the next Mate models.
The information remains unconfirmed for now. Nevertheless, in accordance with the tipster, Huawei might start the pre-order phase for the new flagship as early as next week, which would lead to official revelations on the matter shortly thereafter.

The smartphone slimness war is official: Huawei has unveiled the Mate 70 Air to rival the iPhone Air. First-look photos reveal two competing visions for a ultra-thin device, as each brand takes a distinct path to dominate the market.

In accordance with shots, there isn’t much difference between the two Air models when kept beside each other. Due to the right-angle frame, the Mate 70 Air gets curvy and sleeker edges parallel to the iPhone Air, which has slightly flat sides.
Mate 70 Air vs. iPhone Air

Compared to the iPhone Air’s 6.5-inch OLED, the Mate 70 Air boasts a larger screen and a dazzling 4000-nit peak brightness (1000 nits brighter). Performance is also flexible, thanks to the availability of two different Kirin chipsets.
The Mate 70 Air’s advantages extend to a superior 6500mAh battery and powerful cameras. If you’re looking for a truly slim device that doesn’t sacrifice performance or features, this is the phone to consider.
