The Huawei Mate 70 Air directly competes with the Apple iPhone Air, though it offers a more well-rounded package in several areas. Measuring 6.6mm in thickness, it’s slightly thicker than the iPhone Air’s 5.6mm body, but Huawei compensates with a larger battery and a more versatile camera setup.
The phone features a 7-inch 1.5K+ OLED display with a resolution of 2760 × 1320 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an 18.8:9 aspect ratio. It includes a 10.7MP front camera housed within a centred punch-hole cutout.
