It is reported that the presentation of the Huawei P70 series of smartphones has been canceled

Huawei's plans for the launch of the P70 series are shrouded in mystery after the announcement of the cancellation of the press conference. Industry insiders speculate that the phones may skip the traditional launch event altogether and instead join the 'Pioneer Program', potentially going on sale today.

The news came after Weibo whistleblower Bad Review Emperor sparked speculation by posting: "The press conference was suddenly canceled and the tickets were returned to the media? What happened?» on social networks.

There are also reports that authorized Huawei stores have started accepting blind orders for the P70 series. While the official release dates remain unclear, this suggests that the phones could be available very soon.

Sources of information about the P70 series paint a picture of powerful hardware and innovative features. Recent Geekbench listings show that the Kirin 9000S chipset is expected to power devices with potentially different clock speeds for the entry-level and high-end models. Both variations boast stunning displays – around a 6.58- or 6.8-inch 2.5D 1.5K LTPO panel with an exciting quad-curved design.

For the camera, rumors point to an OV50H or IMX989 sensor, both with physical variable aperture. A 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP periscopic telephoto lens with 4x zoom can complete the impressive camera system. The devices are also expected to feature new satellite communication technology and a fresh exterior design.

This wouldn't be the first time that Huawei has chosen an unconventional launch strategy. Last year's Mate 60 Pro saw a quiet online release without a press conference. The possibility of a similar surprise launch for the P70 series is up in the air. The leak also suggests that Huawei may launch 10 more products along with the P70 series.
