Huawei has made himself the promise not to stop innovating. Or at least that seems to take into account the last weeks. First was the presentation of its two new smart watches: the Watch 5 and the Watch Fit 4 Pro, then one of the most anticipated “accesses” came: its watches already allow NFC payments. And now the third arrives: Huawei will launch the last update of Your Pura smartphones premium series next week. And he will do it with an improved chipset of his own design.
The Pura 80 series will be available in China as of June 11, according to Huawei announced through his official Weibo account. The devices will retain the triangular profile of the camera (DNA of the pure series) according to an advance image, but They are expected to incorporate notable improvements in cameras, sensors and lenses compared to pure 70, according to local media reports.
Like the pure folding smartphone, presented in March, The Pura 80 will work with the Harmonyos Next of Huawei operating system, the fifth generation of the company’s own development mobile platform.
If smart watches and the sound area have proven to be, for Huawei, an innovation and progress sector, the smartphones business has become a symbol of the Chinese company resistance against US sanctions. So much that the pure series 80, without having gone to the market, already has about 200,000 reservations Only in China. This shows that, although international sales have been partly affected by the absence of Google services such as Gmail, The firm has had a strong resurgence in the national high -end smartphones market.
Remember that Huawei surprised the global market in August 2023 with the launch of the Mate 60 series, equipped with an advanced 5G chip, something that was believed impossible due to US sanctions. While Huawei has maintained the reservation on his chip, a disassembly analysis made by a third revealed that the 7 nanometers chip was the Kirin 9000s, his own design.
In the Mate 70 model of last year, Huawei used the Kirin 9020 chip, according to an external analysis. Nanoreview.net, a platform to compare and classify technological products recently compared the Kirin 9020 chip with Apple A18 chip, used on iPhone 16. Although the A18 showed significantly faster processing speeds, the Kirin 9020 offered a 14 % higher memory bandwidth. That said, it would not be strange if Huawei has invested time and resources to compensate for processing speeds (not only through the microchip, also using memory and even its own operating system) and thus be closer to the A18 with the new chip used in the pure 80, a smartphone that will arrive with 4 models: pure 80, pure 80 PRO, pure 80 pro+ and pure 80 ultra.
Remember that Huawei became the second largest smartphone supplier in China in the first quarter of this year, with shipments of 12.9 million units, 10 % more than the previous year, something that has contributed to the fall of Apple in the Asian market. If we add to that that the Chinese manufacturer allocates more than 10% of its benefits at R&D (Apple does not reach 8%) the growth possibilities are enormous.
