According to reports, Huawei’s new flagship mobile phone Pura 70 series has triggered a buying frenzy after its launch. All major sales channels are reportedly out of stock, and the secondary market is selling the phones at inflated prices. Disassembly reports reveal that, except for the top-end Pura 70 Ultra model, more than 90% of the key components in the other Pura 70 series models are from mainland Chinese brands. This indicates that Huawei is close to achieving 100% Chinese production for its smartphone manufacturing.
Key Chinese Suppliers for Pura 70 Series
The main suppliers of components for the Pura 70 series include
- OFILM
- Lens Technology
- Goertek
- Changying Precision

- Other Chinese companies
These firms are providing the core processors, panels, cases, batteries, lenses, heat dissipation, and acoustic components for the Pura 70 lineup, except for the Sony-supplied main camera in the Pura 70 Ultra.

Comprehensive Localization of Smartphone Manufacturing
Except for the high-end processors that are limited by the wafer fabrication process (Kirin 9010), and the high-end main cameras, Huawei has almost achieved the goal of “national production” for its smartphone manufacturing. Industry experts believe that comprehensive localization of mobile phone manufacturing is an inevitable result for Huawei going forward.
Projected Sales of Pura 70 Series
Third-party organizations estimate that Huawei will ship 50 million smartphones this year. They also claim that the new Huawei Pura 70 series will sell more than 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.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Huawei Pura 70 series has demonstrated Huawei’s significant progress towards achieving 100% domestic production for its smartphones. With over 90% of the key components in the Pura 70 series from Chinese brands, Huawei will become a leader in the comprehensive localization of smartphone manufacturing. The strong demand and limited supply of the Pura 70 series further underscores Huawei’s technological prowess and the Chinese smartphone industry’s growing self-sufficiency.
