Huawei has officially confirmed the first details about its upcoming Mate 80 phones. The company recently announced HarmonyOS 6, which will come pre-installed on the Mate 80 series.
Now, new HarmonyOS development documentation confirms that every model in the Huawei Mate 80 lineup will support 3D facial recognition.
“Currently, only the entire Mate 80 series and other Mate Pro and above devices support 3D face recognition (foldable screens and the P series are not currently supported).”
Until now, this feature has been exclusive to the Pro and RS variants. So this would be the first time Huawei is extending its advanced face-unlock technology to the base model.
Four models on the way
The Huawei Mate 80 series is expected to arrive in November, with four versions reportedly on the way. The standard Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro+, and the top-tier Mate 80 RS.
Design-wise, early engineering units reveal a familiar look of the Mate 80 Po. The phone features a large circular camera module centered on the back panel.
The layout reportedly includes a dual-color temperature flash on the top left, a symmetrical strip sensor on the right, and a multi-spectral lens beneath the main axis.
Under the hood, the lineup is expected to debut Huawei’s new Kirin 9030 chip. According to reports, the chip focuses on architectural optimization rather than raw power gains. But it should still deliver smoother performance when paired with HarmonyOS 6.
At the top of the range, the Mate 80 RS could feature a 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED display with higher brightness, lower power consumption, and improved longevity.
Not to forget, there’s talk that the Mate 80 series could exclusively use eSIM technology, completely ditching the physical SIM card slot for the first time.
