Huawei’s most important flagship Mate 80 preview: eSIM + satellite communication
Digital blogger Smart Pikachu posted on Weibo that the Huawei Mate 80 series will use a new communication architecture that combines low-orbit satellite communications with eSIM technology. According to the blogger, the Huawei Mate 80 series is currently undergoing internal testing of the eSIM function.
eSIM, or embedded SIM card, integrates the functions of a traditional physical SIM card directly into the device chip, eliminating the need for a physical card slot. This technology not only saves space inside the phone but also enhances the device’s dust and water resistance.
Users can activate their numbers online through the operator’s app, making switching operators more convenient.

Editor’s comments:
The leaked information about the Huawei Mate80 series once again demonstrates its disruptive layout in communication technology. The introduction of eSIM technology not only simplifies user operations and improves device reliability, but also has the potential to accelerate the industry’s farewell to the era of physical SIM cards.
The implementation of low-orbit satellite communications has allowed mobile phones to completely break free from the limitations of terrestrial networks, achieving “permanent connection” in emergency and remote scenarios. The combination of these two technologies is both a continuation of Huawei’s “breakthrough” technology and a bold expansion of smartphone functionality.
