Huawei’s next big flagship lineup — the Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, and Mate 80 Pro+ — has just cleared certification in China. This regulatory green light confirms several important details and strongly hints that the official launch is just around the corner.
Model Numbers and Charging Speeds
The certification documents list the model numbers as follows:
-
Mate 80 – VYG-AL00
-
Mate 80 Pro – SGT-AL00
-
Mate 80 Pro+ – SGT-AL50
In terms of charging, the standard Mate 80 will support 66W wired charging, while the Pro and Pro+ models will step things up with blazing-fast 100W wired charging.
Rumored Hardware and Design
Reports suggest the Mate 80 series will debut a new line of Kirin processors, with at least one model focusing heavily on advanced camera technology. Design-wise, all three devices are expected to share a common look — a large, circular rear camera module positioned at the center. A dual-tone LED flash will reportedly sit at the upper left of this island, adding to the distinctive style.
Talk of an Innovative Cooling System
One of the more intriguing rumors is that Huawei may include a built-in cooling fan on at least one model. Interestingly, this fan isn’t expected to sit inside the frame but instead on the edge of the camera island itself. Even with this unusual addition, the phones are still rumored to maintain strong water resistance, which would be a notable engineering feat.
What’s Next
With certification now complete, all eyes are on Huawei to make the official announcement. If the leaks hold true, the Mate 80 series could bring not only faster charging and powerful hardware but also some of the boldest design choices yet in a flagship smartphone.
