According to well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, Huawei’s upcoming Mate 80 RS might pack a 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED screen, the same display tech that debuted on last year’s Mate 70 RS.
Dual-layer OLED is exactly what it sounds like. It has two light-emitting OLED layers stacked on top of each other. This setup offers higher brightness, lower power consumption, and a longer screen life compared to traditional single-layer OLED panels.
The only drawback is that it’s expensive to produce. Even Apple is rumored to be looking into the technology for future iPhones, which says a lot about its potential.
Huawei Mate 80 RS with ceramic back
Beyond the screen, Huawei seems to be going all-in on premium materials. The leak mentions that the engineering prototype of Mate 80 RS has a titanium alloy middle frame. Last year’s Mate 70 RS introduced a high-gloss titanium basalt structure, and it seems Huawei wants to keep that tradition alive with even better durability.
On the back, Huawei is reportedly going for a ceramic texture finish. This doesn’t mean it’s actual ceramic, but rather a special type of glass that mimics the smooth, jade-like feel of ceramic while being lighter.
Given how the RS models usually share hardware DNA with the Pro variants, the Mate 80 RS could feature the same camera setup as the Mate 80 Pro and Mate 80 Pro+.
We’re talking about a 50MP shooter with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, roughly the same size as the one on Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro. That’s smaller than the massive 1-inch sensor found on Huawei’s Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Ultra, but it’s built on a 22nm process and features a 1.2μm pixel size.
The Huawei Mate 80 series is rumored to launch sometime in October 2025.
