Teardown reports reveal that the Huawei Pura 70 is 90% Chinese

According to reports, Huawei’s new flagship Pura 70 series mobile phone has sparked a buying frenzy since its launch. All major sales channels are reportedly exhausted and the aftermarket is selling the phones at inflated prices. Disassembly reports reveal that with the exception of the top-of-the-line Pura 70 Ultra model, more than 90% of the key components in the other Pura 70 series models are from mainland Chinese brands. This shows that Huawei is close to achieving 100% Chinese manufacturing for its smartphone production.

Key Chinese suppliers for Pura 70 series

Major component suppliers for the Pura 70 series include

• OFILM
• Lens technology
• Gortek
• Variable accuracy
• Sunny Optical
• BOE
• Crystal optoelectronics
• Other Chinese companies

These companies provide the main processors, panels, cases, batteries, lenses, heat dissipation and acoustic components for the Pura 70 range, except for the main camera supplied by Sony in the Pura 70 Ultra.

Full localization of smartphone manufacturing

Except for the high-end processors that are limited by the wafer manufacturing process (Kirin 9010), and the main high-end cameras, Huawei has almost achieved the goal of “domestic production” for smartphone production. Industry experts believe that the complete localization of mobile phone production is an inevitable outcome for Huawei in the future.

Projected sales of the Pura 70 series

Third-party organizations estimate that Huawei will ship 50 million smartphones this year. They also claim that the new Huawei Pura 70 series will sell over 10 million units. Strong demand and limited supply have resulted in the Pura 70 series being sold at inflated prices on the secondary market.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Huawei Pura 70 series demonstrates Huawei’s significant progress towards achieving 100% in-house production of its smartphones. With over 90% of the key components in the Pura 70 series from Chinese brands, Huawei will become a leader in the overall localization of smartphone manufacturing. The strong demand and limited supply of the Pura 70 series further underscores Huawei’s technological prowess and the growing self-sufficiency of China’s smartphone industry.
