Huawei was reported to have attained a new milestone as its Pura 70 lineup was said to be comprised of 90 percent components sourced from Chinese partners. This approach would have meant that shortly, the company would be even less dependent on foreign suppliers that are strongly influenced by the U.S., assuming the claim turned out true. The report mentioned that the Japanese electronics consultancy firm Fomalhaut Techno Solutions analyzed the latest smartphones, but the Chief Executive has denied this information.
Origin of the Pura 70 components is still under wraps, as Huawei has kept mum about the situation
The Tokyo-based research firm’s CEO, Minatake Mitchell Kashio, responded to an email inquiry from the South China Morning Post, stating that he cannot comment on the newest Pura 70 series because neither he nor the company received any product to review, analyze, or disassemble to provide an impartial overview. It appears that the multitude of reports from Chinese media outlets ended up false, so for now, no one knows how many Chinese suppliers provided the parts for the Pura 70 family.

Huawei has also kept mum about what exactly is inside the Pura 70 lineup, likely to avoid any unwanted attention from the U.S., with even the official announcement devoid of any detailed information revolving around the Kirin 9010. Earlier, it was reported that the Pura 70 Ultra was the only model out of the four that features a Sony sensor, with the remaining sporting an OmniVision camera, a part belonging to a subsidiary of the Chinese semiconductor firm Will Semiconductor.
Perhaps the only valuable information that we know about the Pura 70 components is that the Kirin 9010 is mass produced on the same 7nm process from SMIC that was used for the Kirin 9000S found in last year’s Mate 60 family. While it is disappointing that these Chinese media outlets did not conduct thorough research regarding the previous claims, errors like these are commonplace in this industry. Hopefully, some research firm will take responsibility and conduct a complete analysis of the Pura 70 range.

The ‘less than stellar’ demand for the Apple Vision Pro has caused shipment estimates to drop to 400,000 to 450,000 units for 2024, a massive drop compared to the previous 800,000 estimates. Consumers are discouraged from making the AR headset their daily driver thanks to its ludicrous starting price of $3,499, and even though Apple intends to launch the device overseas, its ‘expensive’ problem is yet to be addressed. Fortunately, the company might overcome this hurdle with the Apple Vision Pro 2, with a rumor claiming that the successor will have a starting price of $1,500 and will add two new suppliers, Samsung and SeeYa, to the list.
The U.S. trade ban on Huawei has materialized a completely different outcome than what the opposing authorities envisioned because the Chinese firm has not only mounted a strong comeback on its home turf with successive releases of flagship smartphones that have grown in popularity, but the company plans to one-up its efforts on the software side too. A new report states that Huawei fully intends to rid itself of Google’s Android operating system by switching over to HarmonyOS Next entirely. The new platform will reportedly house 4,000 apps at first.

Huawei will reportedly unveil its first 5nm chipset for the Mate 70 flagship series in October later this year, but previous rumors did not divulge the official name of the silicon. Fortunately, just a short time passed, and new information came through, claiming that the SoC would be called Kirin 9100, and it obtained a score of 1.1 million in AnTuTu as part of its initial performance run.
The Pura 70 flagship series officially launched by Huawei also sports the company’s new Kirin 9010, a 12-core SoC that delivers a slew of improvements over its predecessor, the Kirin 9000S from last year. However, regarding lithography, the Kirin 9010 and Kirin 9000S are pretty much identical, with a teardown revealing that Huawei stuck with SMIC’s 7nm process to mass produce its latest SoC.
The Apple Vision Pro might not be a hit in the consumer market as updated shipment estimates have dropped to 400,000 to 450,000 units for 2024, but the $3,499 head-mounted wearable is a success in the enterprise division, with companies thoroughly impressed with what has been crammed into the device.
