Chinese tech firm Huawei has released a new slim smartphone in China called the Mate 70 Air in order to directly compete with Apple\u2019s (AAPL)<\/a> iPhone Air. The new Huawei phone is 6.6 mm thick and costs 4,199 yuan (around $590), making it much cheaper than Apple\u2019s $999 iPhone Air. While it isn\u2019t as thin as Apple\u2019s version, Huawei is clearly competing by even using the same \u201cAir\u201d name Apple introduced with the iPhone 17 series this fall.<\/p>\n

Other Chinese phone brands are also stepping up to challenge Apple this year. For example, Xiaomi (XIACF)<\/a> released its new Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro models earlier than planned, while giving them names and features meant to match Apple\u2019s, but for less money. Still, Apple\u2019s latest iPhones are selling better in China this year than they did last year<\/a>, which might be why more competitors are now launching new options.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, it is worth noting that, rather than taking on Apple\u2019s top-end iPhone, the Mate 70 Air is designed for people who care more about style and design, just like the iPhone Air\u2019s target audience. And despite being thin, Huawei\u2019s phone still includes a 7-inch screen, stereo speakers, and a big 6,500mAh battery. It also runs on Huawei\u2019s own software and is now available for pre-order in China, with deliveries starting on November 11.<\/p>\n
