Announced at a live-streamed event on Nov 26, the new devices and software add to Huawei's campaign to reclaim China's premium tier from Apple and build an ecosystem without the involvement of major US tech providers.
Available on Dec 4, the Mate 70 and its Pro variants are the follow-up to Huawei's most significant device in years, the Mate 60.
