The claim that the Huawei Pura 70 is made up of 90% parts from China is a lie

Huawei recently made media headlines for allegedly achieving a big goal: its latest Pura 70 series phones have as much as 90% of their components sourced from China. But it turns out that this information is not entirely true. It was first reported by Chinese media, which cited an analysis by Japanese company Fomalhaut Techno Solutions on the parts used in smartphones.

They reported that almost all components of the Pura 70 series — from the main chip (SoC) to the screen, body, battery and even the camera — were sourced from Chinese suppliers. However, Fomalhaut Techno Solutions CEO Minatake Mitchell Kashio denied the reports, saying they have not received any Pura 70 devices for review or analysis.

They have not received any Pura 70 devices for review or analysis.

«I never made any comment about the Pura 70 because we have not received the product» — Kashio said in response to an email to the South China Morning Post.

Huawei, for its part, isn’t spreading much about the Pura 70 series components either. The only confirmed component — is that the Kirin 9010 chip uses the same 7nm process from SMIC as the Kirin 9000S in the Mate 60 series. But it looks like the Chinese tech giant has found a solution to supply chain issues, especially those related to the chips.

So it seems that the Chinese tech giant has found a solution to its supply chain problems.

The US government launched an investigation in September 2023 after finding that the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, equipped with a Kirin 9000S chip manufactured by SMIC using a 7nm process, may have violated US export regulations.

The investigation into SMIC’s alleged violation of chip sanctions is still ongoing, with no significant findings yet. Meanwhile, Huawei is focusing on improving the performance of its Kirin SoCs. The company is also reportedly working on a Kirin chip for PCs, which is rumored to have performance on par with Apple’s M2.
