new flagship Huaweisherry pure 70, has been a phenomenal success: More than 90% of the high-end model’s components, with the exception of its main camera, are supplied by Chinese companies. This marks an important step towards the complete domestication of smartphone production. Huawei.
China’s smartphone industry is approaching self-sufficiency thanks to Huawei Pura 70
A breakdown analysis by Japanese research firm Fomalhaut Techno Solutions shows that Chinese suppliers such as OFilm, Lens Technology, Goertek, Csun, Sunny Optical, BOE and Crystal-Optech now supply key components, including processors, displays and cases, for most Pura 70 models . , batteries etc.
Only the most advanced processor (Kirin 9010) and the main camera in the top-end Pura 70 Ultra remain dependent on foreign technologies due to limitations in plate production. With advances in chip manufacturing and camera technology, this goal is likely to be achieved in the near future.
According to IDC’s First Quarter 2024 report, Honor and Huawei have achieved tremendous popularity in the Chinese domestic market, securing the top spot in terms of smartphone market share. The extreme popularity of the Pura 70 series has led to a surge in demand, resulting in stock shortages in major channels and increased aftermarket prices.
Industry forecasts predict that Huawei will perform strongly this year, with potential smartphone shipments reaching 50 million units. The Pura 70 model alone is believed to be a major driver of this success, with sales exceeding tens of millions.
The Pura 70 series marks a significant step towards completely in-house production for Huawei. The phones demonstrate Chinese companies’ growing ability to supply critical smartphone components while relying on a limited supply of high-quality imported products.
This trend points to a possible future in which the entire smartphone manufacturing process in China will be fully nationalized, potentially impacting the global smartphone supply chain and changing the landscape of the industry.
