Huawei Pura 70 Series Disassembly Reveals Localization Success and Key Chinese Suppliers
Huawei’s flagship Pura 70 series smartphones have been flying off the shelves since their launch, with demand outstripping supply and inflating prices on the secondary market. A recent disassembly report has shed light on Huawei’s progress towards achieving 100% domestic production for its smartphone manufacturing.
Key Chinese Suppliers for Pura 70 Series
The disassembly report reveals that over 90% of the key components in the Pura 70 series come from mainland Chinese brands, including:
- OFILM – Lenses
- Goertek – Acoustic components
- Changying Precision – Cases
- Sunny Optical – Lenses
- BOE – Panels
- Crystal Optoelectronics – Heat dissipation
With the exception of the Sony-supplied main camera in the high-end Pura 70 Ultra model, Huawei is relying heavily on Chinese companies for its core processors, panels, cases, batteries, lenses, heat dissipation, and acoustic components.
Comprehensive Localization of Smartphone Manufacturing
Industry experts believe that comprehensive localization of smartphone manufacturing is the way forward for Huawei, and the Pura 70 series is a significant step in that direction. Huawei has almost achieved its goal of “national production” for its smartphones, with only high-end processors and high-end main cameras still relying on foreign suppliers.
Projected Sales of Pura 70 Series
Third-party organizations estimate that Huawei will ship 50 million smartphones this year, with the Pura 70 series expected to account for over 10 million units. The strong demand and limited supply have led to the Pura 70 series being sold at inflated prices on the secondary market.
Huawei’s success with the Pura 70 series demonstrates the company’s technological prowess and the growing self-sufficiency of the Chinese smartphone industry. As Huawei continues to localize its smartphone manufacturing, it is likely to become a leader in comprehensive localization and set an example for other Chinese smartphone manufacturers.
However, it is important to note that the comprehensive localization of smartphone manufacturing comes with its own set of challenges, such as maintaining quality standards and ensuring a reliable supply chain. Huawei will need to address these challenges to maintain its competitive edge and achieve its goal of becoming a global leader in the smartphone market.
