Huawei Pura 70 Series Shipments Surge 125% YoY Over P60 Series
Huawei introduced the Pura 70 series this April, featuring a new Kirin processor. Recently, a Huawei insider revealed that the series’ shipment volume has soared by 125% year-on-year in comparison to the P60 series.
According to market research firm TechInsights, the Mate 60 Pro’s shipments in China reached 6.2 million units within just five months of its release. The report also anticipates that the Pura 70 series will surpass 10 million units in shipments by 2024.

Huawei Pura 70 Satellite: New Kirin 9010E, Geekbench Scores Revealed
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.

Huawei Pura 70: 33 China-made Components, Highest for the Brand
While the initial reports suggesting that Huawei Pura 70 phones have 90% of their components sourced from Chinese suppliers were inaccurate, TechInsight’s latest analysis points out that these phones indeed boast a notable quantity of locally sourced semiconductors.
Significant Local Sourcing
TechInsights' analysis indicates that a majority of the components in the Pura 70 series are of Chinese origin. The base model of the Pura 70 series exhibits the highest dependency on Chinese parts, with 33 out of 69 components sourced domestically, as opposed to just five from non-Chinese suppliers.
The Pura 70 Ultra stands out for using memory exclusively from Yangtze Memory Technologies Corporation (YMTC), which is a leading NAND memory producer in China and is currently under US sanctions.
“The ratio of Chinese-procured components was higher in the standard Pura 70 than in the Pro Plus model,” stated Stacy Wegner, an analyst at TechInsights.
HiSilicon Kirin Chips and US Sanctions
An earlier TechInsights analysis disclosed that the HiSilicon Kirin chips powering the Pura 70 series are produced by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), China’s largest chipmaker. This aligns with the production process used for Mate 60 chips, all employing the same 7-nanometer technology.
Huawei’s shift towards reduced reliance on foreign manufacturers is a notable achievement for the company, especially given the stringent restrictions imposed by the US.
Recently, the US revoked chip export licenses for Huawei from Qualcomm and Intel, further constraining access to these products. However, analysts suggest that this move will have a minimal effect on Huawei’s operations, citing the company’s existing capabilities in producing 4G and 5G chipsets for various phone models.
Future Outlook for Huawei
“We don’t expect the revoked licenses to significantly affect Huawei’s smartphone business in 2024,” commented Linda Sui, a senior analyst at TechInsights.
