News and TV News: Nikkei: Huawei Mate 60 Pro teardown shows that 47% of the mobile phone is Chinese components
Preface
With the sale of the Huawei Pura 70 series, many Huawei fans and the Japanese media can't sit still.
After fans got the mobile phone, they began to conduct various evaluations, and the Japanese media directly opened the first overseas dismantling, leading everyone to "explore" the mystery of Huawei's new machine, and finally succeeded in coming to a conclusion.
So, what is this conclusion?
Huawei P70 overseas first dismantling
At 10:08 a.m. on April 18, 2024, the Huawei Pura 70 series officially went on sale.
Huawei's official website went on sale within 1 minute, and there was a long queue in offline stores, which shows that everyone's expectations for Huawei's new product are still enthusiastic.
It's just that it's not only Huawei's loyal fans who are looking forward to the Huawei Pura 70, but also many overseas media outlets are excited, and the first thing they do after receiving the goods is to immediately dismantle them.

Qilu One Point: Hot News|Sold out in less than a minute, Huawei Pura 70 is on sale! There is also a long queue at Huawei stores in Jinan......
One such is Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, a Japanese research firm that recently released a teardown report on the Huawei Pura 70.
From the teardown report, we can see that Huawei Pura 70 still gave us a lot of surprises.
In addition to the main camera of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, Sony components, the core processor, panel, chassis, battery, lens, heat dissipation, acoustic components and other components of the Pura70, Pura70 Pro, Pura70 Pro+ and other models are almost fully localized.
This marks that Huawei's Pura 70 has achieved 90% local manufacturing, and it is only one step away from becoming completely "Made in China".
Some people may also question the use of Sony for the Huawei Ultra model lens, feeling that Huawei is still unable to wear the title of "Made in China" at present.
As everyone knows, Huawei can hand over such an answer sheet when the United States sanctions are so aggressive, which has broken through the maximum limit of the domestic mobile phone industry.
Of course, this "maximum" I am only aimed at the current situation, and there will be infinite possibilities in the future, but now, we all see Huawei's efforts in our hearts.
As the United States began to impose "chip sanctions" on China, Huawei calmly broke the predicament and broke through the technological blockade, which is also a kind of "reverse confrontation" to the United States.
Now, Huawei has gained a foothold under US sanctions, and its share of sales has also grown steadily in the market.
However, this is not the first time that Huawei has "slapped the United States in the face" on the sale of the Pura 70, as early as when Huawei sold the Mate 60, Huawei has begun to "demonstrate" to the United States.

Kirin chips
On August 29, 2023, unlike the previous overwhelming publicity, Huawei suddenly announced the official launch of the Huawei Mate 60 series without any official warm-up.
This situation has given many people an "unexpected", and everyone feels that Huawei's low-key this time is a little abnormal.
But in fact, Huawei's choice to sell new products on this day was actually "premeditated".
Because this day coincides with the visit of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo to China.
Huawei's choice to sell the Mate 60 series with domestic Kirin 9000s processors on this day is the best counterattack to the United States' "chip ban".
I have to say that Huawei's decision is very beautiful, and he can be regarded as a ruthless breath.
With the launch of Huawei's 5G version of the Mate 60 series, many overseas disassembly companies have also disassembled this mobile phone for the first time.
First of all, let's introduce the highlights of Huawei Mate 60, which can realize satellite calls, and the Kirin 9000s chip used is also a purely domestic chip independently developed by Huawei.
According to the use test data, Kirin's chip has surpassed Qualcomm Snapdragon's 8+ chip, thus successfully crushing Qualcomm.
Secondly, according to the teardown report of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, 47% of its parts belong to China, which is an increase of 18 percentage points compared to the Huawei Mate 40 Pro.
The total amount of Chinese parts for the 60 Pro is $198, an increase of 9 percent over the 40 Pro.
Although it is not as localized as the P7 series parts this time, according to the situation at that time, having a self-developed chip is an urgent thing to solve.
Huawei can be said to have broken down barriers in chip technology under huge pressure, completed research and development, and also added Lingxi Communication.
It's really hard not to be amazed by their new technical improvements.
Starting from the Huawei Mate 60 series, Huawei has completely gained a firm foothold in the high-end mobile phone market.
China has long been the world's largest smartphone market, and in the first quarter of this year, Huawei's mobile phone shipments increased by 110% year-on-year, and its market share increased to 17.0%, ranking first and far surpassing Apple.
After the launch of Huawei's P70 series, Huawei's mobile phone shipments will continue to increase in the second quarter.
Through these two dismantlings, we can also feel that the Japanese media are very interested in Huawei mobile phones, and they have a five-year "history" of dismantling Huawei.
So, which of Huawei's mobile phones has been disassembled by the Japanese research company Fomalhaut Techno Solutions?

A Huawei phone that arouses curiosity
Huawei's Mate 50 series can be said to have suffered the most "dark" period in the history of Huawei's smartphone development.
Because of the supply interruption of Kirin chips, the sales of Huawei Mate 50 have fallen off a cliff, not to mention overseas sales, and even the domestic performance is ugly.
For a time, Huawei fell into a technological crisis, while the United States sat on the other side of the ocean, waiting to see the "joke" between Huawei and China.
Starting with the Huawei Mate 50 series, it is obvious that its internal structure has changed significantly, which is very different from the previous relatively conservative Mate 40.
In addition, Huawei's Mate 50 series, compared with the Mate 40's accessories localization commission, has been reduced to about 4%.
However, Huawei's Mate 50 is a 4G phone.
Although Huawei still reserved 5G RF chips on the motherboard when designing, it did not achieve the expected use effect, and finally used it as a 4G mobile phone.
Secondly, there is the Mate 40 series.
Through the teardown report of the Mate 40E, it can be seen that some key accessories such as communication switch components, power management chips, and batteries have basically been replaced by domestic ones.
Starting from the Mate 40, it can be seen that Huawei has gradually turned accessories into localization, and they have long had the idea of planning for a rainy day.
It's just that the speed of the United States' "turning face" was too fast, which caught Huawei off guard.
However, this is also "thankful" to the United States, if it were not for them, Huawei's independent research and development of chips may not be so fast.
As for the Mate 30, Fomalhaut Techno Solutions found that the proportion of domestic components in this phone has reached 41.8% when it disassembles the Mate 30.
The last one, which is the first Huawei phone P30 pro disassembled by Fomalhaut Techno Solutions.
After disassembling the P30 pro, they found that 62% of the accessories of the P30 Pro come from China, although the proportion of accessories in the United States is not high, but the cost is still high, reaching 16% of the total cost.
The above five mobile phones are the dismantling of Huawei by Fomalhaut Techno Solutions for five consecutive years, and they are also full of curiosity about the development of Huawei mobile phones.
But in fact, when disassembling the Huawei Mate series, Fomalhaut Techno Solutions can clearly feel Huawei's qualitative leap.
In particular, the surprise brought by this year's Pura 70 can make them clearly aware that Huawei's development has matured and stabilized, and has become very powerful.
From the dismantling process, we can see that Huawei has been gradually moving away from foreign technology and moving closer to the development of Chinese manufacturing long before the United States "started".

Looking forward to Huawei's future
Recall that in the past, the mobile phone field was still dominated by Apple of the United States and Samsung of South Korea, and when the Chinese company Huawei joined in, it was subjected to many doubts and cynicism.
At that time, young people loved the Apple brand, and even set off a frenzy of "Apple wind".
But Huawei can still occupy a place in such a market, which is enough to prove that Huawei, a national enterprise, has become bigger and stronger.
As one of Huawei's users, I have used Huawei's Mate series mobile phones, and the experience is very good in terms of mobile phone texture and system operation.
Now, Huawei has successfully joined the "high-end bureau" of smart phones, but they still have not relaxed their sense of urgency in mobile phone research and development, and every time they release a new phone, they can bring us surprises.
In addition, Huawei has also done a good job in other electronic products, such as smart watches, tablets and other products, and the experience of using it is still not bad.
Their design is more in line with the aesthetics and sense of use of young people today, especially after the Sino-US trade war, Huawei, as the leader of domestic brands, has driven a tide of development of domestic mobile phones.
Not only that, in recent years, the popularity of folding screens has also brought a new leap forward for Huawei.
Last year, Huawei ranked first with a market share of 37.4 percent in foldable phones in China, an amount about double that of second place.
In addition, Huawei's investment in the electric vehicle brand has also seen good sales, and now, Yu Chengdong has personally stepped down to join the research on intelligent terminals and intelligent automotive components.
Although Ren Zhengfei said that in recent years, Huawei will not develop new energy vehicles on its own, but it may be an important choice to lay the foundation.
As one of the brightest stars among national enterprises, Huawei's "honor and disgrace" is actually integrated with the whole of China.
Along the way, it has been very difficult for every staff member of Huawei, and what they expect is not only the development and growth of the company, but also the fact that Chinese brands can completely occupy the market and no longer be bullied by the United States.
Now, they did!
epilogue
Recently, Huawei's newly developed Hongmeng system has completely abandoned Android and become an independent system, although it has not been released for use, but the response should not be too bad.
In recent years, Huawei has given us too many surprises, and in the future, Huawei will also be able to bring more innovations.
I believe that there will be more and more national enterprises like Huawei in China, and China's communications field will become stronger and stronger.
