A new Weibo leak from reputable tipster Digital Chat Station suggests Huawei's Mate 80 flagship series could arrive as soon as November. The post names a trio of color options for the base model and hints at a wider hardware push — including a fresh MateBook E 2-in-1 — tightly integrated with HarmonyOS.
What the leak reveals about colors, models, and timing
According to the leak, the standard Mate 80 will be offered in black, white and a turquoise shade that aims to stand out in a crowded flagship market. The broader Mate 80 family is reportedly scheduled for a rollout next month, which would put Huawei back on a fast release cadence after the Mate 70 series.
- Expected Mate 80 variants: Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro+, Mate 80 RS
- Base model colors mentioned: Black, White, Turquoise
- Likely launch window: November (per leaks)
Leaks like this often fluctuate in accuracy, but Digital Chat Station has a solid track record. If the timeline holds, Huawei could be preparing a coordinated announcement to showcase both phones and companion hardware.
MateBook E 2025 and the push toward HarmonyOS integration
Alongside the phones, the same source says Huawei has filed paperwork for a new 2-in-1 tablet/PC — likely the MateBook E 2025. The device is said to come in Moonlight Silver and Space Gray and will emphasize deep multi-device connectivity across phones, tablets and PCs via HarmonyOS (Hongmeng).
Another Weibo leaker, Superdimensional, previously mentioned a HarmonyOS-powered MateBook E, and the two tips line up: the MateBook E line is a detachable 2-in-1 with a built-in kickstand and removable keyboard, and past models used Intel silicon. This time, Huawei may pivot toward its own Kirin silicon.
- MateBook E 2025 colors: Moonlight Silver, Space Gray
- OS: HarmonyOS (rumored to ship with HarmonyOS 5.1)
- Form factor: 2-in-1 with detachable keyboard and kickstand
Chip expectations: Kirin 9000X and Kirin 9030 on the radar
The Mate 80 family is expected to be powered by the rumored Kirin 9030 chipset — a logical successor to the Kirin 9020 that powered the Mate 70 series. Meanwhile, the MateBook E 2025 has been tipped to run a Kirin 9000X chip in some leaks, signaling Huawei's continued push to use in-house silicon across mobile and PC form factors.
Specifications for these chips remain unconfirmed, but Huawei could unveil both the Kirin 9000X and Kirin 9030 during the same event if the November timeline is accurate. Expect performance claims and power-efficiency talking points aimed at competing with Qualcomm and Apple silicon.
For now, these claims should be treated as informed leaks rather than official specs. Still, the combination of new colors, a refreshed MateBook E, and updated Kirin chips paints a clear picture of Huawei gearing up for a major end-of-year push.
