Huawei is developing a new flagship smartphone, the Mate 80 GTS, which could launch in 2026. The company trademarked the moniker Mate 80 GTS in November. A Weibo tipster indicated the device might become official next year.
Huawei has previously registered several GTS models, and a Mate 60 GTS was rumored to launch with a red color variant. The latest trademark suggests a new phone is in development.
The Mate 80 GTS is reportedly in its development phase and may launch alongside the second-generation Pura X foldable phone. SuperDimensional, a tipster, stated the Mate 80 GTS is a real product and could release by March next year. It is expected to be a top-end flagship model.
Sources indicate the handset will feature the Kirin 9030 Pro 5G chipset. Huawei may enhance this chip before the Mate 80 GTS release. The device could also be a “Fan Edition” or a “Cooling Fan model,” as GTS often signifies a gaming or high-performance product.
