According to one user, there will be at least four variants – Huawei P70, P70 Pro, P70 Pro+, and P70 Art. We cannot verify whether these specs and images are real, and our regular sources are still silent on the matter, so don’t take anything for granted yet.

The phones are expected to all sport the Kirin 9000S chipset. It is a SoC built on the 7 nm process technology by SMIC and is currently under investigation whether the manufacturer broke the export rules of the United States.

We are having a hard time deciphering the full specs sheet, which is not only in Chinese but is low resolution as well. Here go the bits that we could make out:

If all these rumors are correct, this means a previous report about an April launch was indeed on point.
