Heartland Magazine: Huawei’s New Pura 70 Smartphone Faces False Teardown Analysis Claims
Chinese online media outlets recently reported that Japanese tech company Fomalhaut had conducted a teardown analysis of Huawei’s latest Pura 70 smartphone, claiming that the device contained mostly locally-sourced components. However, Fomalhaut Techno Solutions CEO Minatake Mitchell Kashio quickly denied these allegations, stating that they had not even received the product to conduct such an analysis.
Similarly, a Japanese electronics consultancy also denied any involvement in the teardown analysis of the Huawei Pura 70. Reports circulating online suggested that only the main camera in the top-tier Pura 70 Ultra model was sourced from Sony, but the accuracy of these claims remains uncertain.
Huawei, a company that has been sanctioned by the US government, has not disclosed the sources of components for its premium smartphones. The Pura 70 is said to be equipped with a Kirin 9010 processor produced by China’s SMIC, using a 7-nanometre process. Analysts believe that Huawei has been working to improve its chip supply chain to overcome manufacturing constraints.
Despite the controversies surrounding the Pura 70, the rebranded Pura line is expected to see shipments exceed 10.4 million units this year. Huawei is also anticipated to reclaim the top spot in the Chinese smartphone market, with projections indicating they will ship over 50 million smartphones. Demand for Huawei’s Mate 60 series has helped the company increase its share in the high-end handset segment to 20%, while Apple’s share has reportedly dropped to 58%.
As Huawei continues to navigate challenges and controversies, consumers eagerly await the official release of the Pura 70 and the unveiling of its true component sources. Stay tuned to Heartland Magazine for more updates on this developing story.
