Huawei Mate
Huawei Mate, formally Huawei Ascend Mate, is a series of high-end HarmonyOS-powered (Android-based prior to the trade war sanction) smartphones produced by Huawei, and is one of their flagship products along with the Pura series.
Under the company's current hardware release cadence, the Pura series phones are typically directed towards mainstream camera enthusiast consumers as the company's flagship smartphones, refining and expanding upon technologies introduced in Mate series devices (which are typically positioned towards early adopters). From 2016 until 2021, Huawei was in a co-engineering partnership with the German manufacturer Leica, whose lenses were used on the Mate series cameras. They have since been replaced with Huawei's in-house XMAGE imaging brand.
On 26 November 2024 Huawei unveiled the Mate 70 series, comprising Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design, all running HarmonyOS NEXT (5.0) built entirely in-house and no longer compatible with Android apps. The Mate 70 Pro and higher models are powered by the Kirin 9020 chip, while the base Mate 70 uses the Kirin 9010. These models feature advanced camera hardware, robust build quality (e.g. Kunlun Glass, IP69), and high‑capacity batteries with fast wired and wireless charging support.
In early 2025, Huawei launched the Pura 80 series, integrating upgraded imaging sensors (including a 1‑inch main sensor on the Ultra model), improved periscope zoom, and HDR technology, further refining design and camera innovations initially introduced by the Mate series
Huawei Mate 80 series with Mate 80, Pro, Pro Max and RS Ultimate Design, alongside Mate X7 foldable phone was announced on November 25, 2025 and went on sale November 28, 2025 in China officially with, post-Android free HarmonyOS NEXT transition, HarmonyOS 6 software preinstalled with latest rumoured 5nm Kirin 9030 and Kirin 9030 Pro chips with NearLink E2.0 on board with new infinity design on Mate 80 series except RS Ultimate Design and Mate X7 features new foldable Xuanwu Architecture. Mate 80 series features the world's brightest display with 8,000 nits peak brightness.
The Huawei Ascend Mate smartphone was announced in 2013 at CES. It was released in China in February 2013; its international release was in March 2013.
Huawei announced the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G smartphone at CES in 2014.
Released September 2014
