Huawei launched the Pura 70 smartphone back in April in its home market. The device subsequently made its way to global markets, including Europe and Malaysia. The brand has now introduced the Huawei Pura 70 Beidou Satellite Messaging Edition smartphone, which, as the name implies, can send and receive SMS via satellite.
A couple of posts on Weibo from tipster WHYLAB have revealed more details about this new device. According to the tipster, the Huawei Pura 70 Satellite SMS Edition, also referred to as the Huawei Pura 70 Beidou Satellite Messaging Edition, is powered by the Kirin 9010E chipset. For context, the original Pura 70 is equipped with a Kirin 9000S1 SoC.
Chipset Details
This new chipset features a 12-core architecture (8 cores, 12 threads), which includes two 2.19GHz large cores, six 2.18GHz medium cores, and four 1.55GHz small cores. In terms of graphics, it utilizes Huawei’s self-developed Maleoon 910 750MHz GPU. The tipster also shared the Geekbench score of the Kirin 9010E chip on the Huawei Pura 70 Beidou Satellite Messaging Edition 12GB RAM model. It achieved 1358 points in the single-core test and 4343 points in the multi-core test of Geekbench 6.2.2.
Performance Insights
The device’s performance appears to be slightly less robust compared to the standard Pura 70 smartphone. This is likely due to the fact that the Kirin 9010E chip’s large cores are clocked about 120MHz lower than those of the Kirin 9000S1. Nonetheless, the performance difference is not substantial enough to impact daily usage. The remaining specifications are identical to those of the regular Pura 70 model.
