The Huawei P70 series is expected to arrive next year, and huge growth is expected for the devices. According to a well-known analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, who is mainly known for Apple predictions, Huawei will see a 100% shipment growth for the Huawei P70 series.
Huge growth in shipments is expected for the Huawei P70 series
Just to be clear, we’re talking about growth compared to the Huawei P60 series, of course. Why is this happening? Well, the answer is actually quite simple, the main reason is Huawei’s new Kirin SoC.
Huawei announced the Kirin 9000s not long ago. That chip fuels the Huawei Mate 60 flagship series, and also the company’s Mate X5 foldable flagship. That same chip will make its way to the Huawei P70 series it seems.
Huawei is having a hard time keeping up with the demand for the Huawei Mate 60 series as we speak. Consumers in China are very interested in those devices. For the first time in a long time Huawei phones support 5G connectivity.
The company was prevented from including 5G connectivity due to the US sanctions, but that’s no longer the case, thanks to this new chip. This is a 7nm processor, which is hardly the most modern chip, but it seems to be working great for Huawei. It was manufactured by SMIC, by the way.
Largan will greatly benefit from the Huawei P70 series launch
Ming-Chi Kuo also mentioned another company that will benefit from the Huawei P70 series launch… Largan. Largan will be the main supplier of the periscope lens for the Huawei P70 series. It will also be the sole supplier of a Tetraprism lens for the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro series of devices.
That being said, the Huawei P60 series launched back in March this year. We’re expecting to see the Huawei P70 series towards the end of Q1 2024. The Huawei Mate 60 series launched not long ago, so Huawei is not expected to deliver the Huawei P70 series early or anything of the sort.
