Huawei Mate80 series has been officially announced with a confirmed launch date of November 25, 2025. The launch is highly anticipated, as the Huawei Mate80 series continues the Mate lineup’s legacy of introducing bold design, advanced camera systems, and in-house chip innovations.

While Huawei is still keeping many key specifications under wraps, several details about the Huawei Mate80 series have already been confirmed through official teasers and reliable media outlets. This article summarizes everything verified to date about the Mate80 models.

Confirmed Launch Date

Huawei has officially verified the launch date and launch event as:

• Launch Date: November 25, 2025
• Launch Event: HUAWEI MATE80 SERIES & MATE X7

This is verified on multiple major media outlets and was package-verified.

Confirmed Models of the Huawei Mate80 Series

Reliable official sources and consistent reporting confirm the following four models:

1. Huawei Mate80
2. Huawei Mate80 Pro
3. Huawei Mate80 Pro Max (Replacing “Pro+” naming)
4. Huawei Mate80 RS | Ultimate Design Edition

All models have been verified through announcements, legal filings, promotional teasers, and other sources.

Verified Features

1. Three-Dimensional Facial Recognition

Huawei has developed three-dimensional facial recognition for the entire Mate80 series family of phones. While Huawei Central briefly removed a reference page, multiple reports, with varying degrees of independence, confirm that face recognition would be listed as an available feature. So, while Huawei does not list it yet as a feature, it appears more likely than not that 3D facial recognition is included based on leak evaluation from primary leak channels.

2. Huawei’s In-house Algorithms for Biometrics

Ongoing reporting across several sites confirms that Huawei will use in-house algorithms for biometrics, specifically for face recognition and side fingerprint unlocking. This follows with Huawei’s continued plans to lessen reliance on third-party vendors.

3. Design Language

This is one of the most affirmed areas. The noted design language currently includes the following:

• A dual-ring rear camera module.
• The symmetric ‘central axis’ design (a fixed concept seen in promotional images and marketing suggestions that leaked as requested).
• Flat OLED panels are in at least some of the models (all channels seem to call out flat screens with references and accessories).
• Premium finishes and colors (confirmed through several of Huawei’s posters about pre-release colors to market, even if we don’t have confirmation on every name).

The circular camera housing will remain a staple of the Mate series, though clearly improved upon and refined rather than absolutely altered as a design to the camera’s functionalities, vs their other flagship quality line (P), with a camera housing design aesthetic that looked similar.

4. Chipset: Kirin 9030 (Strong Consistency of Information)

Although not an official confirmation from Huawei, almost all reputable industry sources, such as Android Headlines and Gizmochina, believe the Mate80 series will feature the Kirin 9030, Huawei’s upcoming in-house SoC. This is one of the most consistently reported and solid pieces of evidence at this time.

What Is Confirmed Regarding Storage and RAM

The one configuration that is officially confirmed is regarding the Mate80 RS | Ultimate Design Edition from Huawei’s announcement early on:

• Mate80 RS | Ultimate Design Edition
• 20GB RAM + 512GB storage
• 20GB RAM + 1TB storage

There has not been any official confirmation from Huawei yet regarding other RAM/storage configurations for standard, Pro, and Pro Max models.

There are many lists out there based on leaks, but again, with no official documentation confirming different variants.

What Is Confirmed Regarding Color Options

Huawei has teased some colors for the Mate80 series through posters and early promotional material. Among the reported colors, and with strong consistency in reporting and image releases:

• Variants in Black
• Variants in Silver / Polar
• Variants in Gold
• Variants in Blue
• And Purple coloring for the RS | Master Edition.

While marketing names (e.g., “Aurora Blue,” “Polar Gold”) appear everywhere in leaks, those have not been confirmed by Huawei at this time.

Pre-order Information: What’s Verified And What’s Not

The launch event date is locked in, but the Deposit (200 RMB) Pre-order opening times (12:08 PM / 6:08 PM)

Neither of these is confirmed by official channels at Huawei, or by any prominent tech outlet. Both are on social media rumor cycles, but as of this moment, can not be found in a well-known news publication.

So, we will classify these as not verified.

• Exact camera specifications
• Exact number of lenses (i.e., “dual telephoto”)
• Exact chip clock speed
• Battery capacity
• Charging wattage
• Official color name for all models
• Possible cooling fan system in the lower ring
• Complete RAM/storage list for all models

All of these remain rumor-only until Huawei hosts the official launch event.

Conclusion

The Huawei Mate80 series appears to be one of the most important launches from the brand in years, thanks to its distinct design philosophy and performance driven by the latest in-house chipset developments. What is known — the launch date, the lineup, the design approach, the 20GB RAM RS variant, and the general expectation of 3D face unlock in the general population points to a premium flagship family continuing Huawei’s tradition of innovation.

Still, significant details are managed to be obscured. As always with Huawei’s major launches, the most important technical specifications will not be released until November 25, when we will have our first look at the launch event.
