Huawei Mate 80 Series Unveiled with Kirin 9030 Chips, 6000mAh Batteries, Butโค Faces Google Services Hurdle
SHENZHEN, CHINA – November 21, 2025 -โค Huawei has announced its Mate 80โค series, showcasing notable advancements in processing power and battery technology, but the continued absence of Google servicesโ presents a major obstacle to wider international adoption. The new lineup features theโ Kirin 9030 and 9030 Pro chips, promising a performance increase โขof โ+35% to +42% over the Mate 70 series.Pro Max modelsโ boast 6000 mAh batteriesโค with 100Wโ wired charging.
Despite not providingโค precise technical details due โคto the ongoing โฃAmerican โขembargo, Huawei asserts its new chips, while unlikely to surpass a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 โฃin raw benchmarks, offer sufficient power for dailyโค use and photo processing. The devices will run on Harmonyโ OS 6 (likelyโข based on HarmonyOS Next) – a fluid, AI-driven operating system – but crucially,โฃ remain without access to Google’s suite โof โฃservices.
The โMate 80 series is expected toโ be highlyโข triumphant in China, withโ the RS โUltimate model pricedโค at nearly โ1700 euros. However, for โฃEuropean consumers, importing remains a complex undertaking. Huawei’s innovations in โscreen technologyโค and photography are potentially competitive with Samsungโค and Apple, but limited accessibility restricts the user base toโ “experienced tinkerers.” โข The company continues to innovate, demonstrating its capabilities independent of Western technology,โ according to the report.
