Both processors are underclocked versions of the Kirin 9020 and are built using advanced 7-nanometer technology, reaching a maximum operating frequency of 2.5GHz. The Mate 70 Air runs on HarmonyOS 5.1 and supports the latest Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.2, and Beidou satellite communication technologies.
When it comes to photography, the Mate 70 Air features a front camera with an impressive 10.7 million pixels, while the back showcases a versatile multi-lens setup. This includes a 50 million pixel wide-angle main lens (with a 1/1.3 inch sensor, f/1.8 aperture, and optical image stabilization support), a 12 million pixel RYYB 3x telephoto lens (also with optical image stabilization), an 8 million pixel ultra-wide lens, and a 1.5 million pixel multispectral true color lens. This powerful combination empowers users to capture high-quality photos in various environments.
Additionally, this smartphone boasts an impressive 6,500mAh battery capacity, surpassing similar slim models. It supports 66W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging, making it incredibly convenient. The Mate 70 Air also features side-mounted fingerprint recognition and Hi-Res audio, enhancing both usability and sound quality.
