Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies is preparing to break free from Western technology with its new flagship smartphone, which features domestic chips and homegrown software.

During the Tuesday launch event of the Mate 70 series, Richard Yu, the chairman of Huawei’s consumer business, told the audience, “This is our most powerful phone (in the Mate series),” adding, “We have always been copied but never surpassed.”

The release of the Mate 60 in 2023 sent shockwaves through Washington, D.C. political elites who had attempted to hinder Huawei’s smartphone advancement through sanction warfare. However, the Mate 60 was found to feature cutting-edge domestic chips.

Yu explained that all new Huawei smartphones and tablets will be equipped with domestic chips in 2025 and beyond. He also said these devices will no longer feature Google’s Android operating system but will instead be powered by Huawei’s own operating system called “HarmonyOS Next.”
