Ming Chi Kuo, who we know for his Apple analysis and usually makes correct predictions, shared an important analysis about the Huawei P70 series on his Medium account. First of all, it is true that Kuo’s important analyzes are linked to some internal leaks. In this sense, Chin-Kuo also explained some features for the Huawei P70 series in his article. Chin Kuo is of the opinion that the sales rate of the P70 series will grow by 230% compared to last year.
Huawei P70 series features and estimated sales figures
According to Ming Chi Kuo, the Huawei P70 series will appear in three models named P70, P70 Pro and P70 Art. The Art model mentioned here is expected to be a special model like Porsche Design. Kuo stated that a special and expensive lens will be used in this series.
The famous analyst announced that Huawei will again include the 5G supported Kirin processor in this series. It is possible that we will encounter the Kirin 9000S here again, which we encountered in the Mate 60 series. As you know, although this processor has gone through the 7 nm fabrication process, it has 5G feature. This enabled Huawei to increase its sales again, especially in China. Ming Chi-Kuo believes that there will be a similar effect on Huawei P70 sales.
In this sense, Kuo expects this increase to continue in the P70 series. According to the analyst, Huawei P70 shipments are likely to break a record and increase by 230 percent compared to last year. In this sense, there is a possibility that shipments will reach 13-15 million units on an annual basis. Again, it is expected that the flagship model will be available for sale in the first quarter of 2024.
But even if things don’t go well and restocking demands drop, Kuo expects shipments to grow 150% to 10-12 million units. Although shipment numbers are not direct sales, it is obvious that new shipments will not arrive without sales in stores. In other words, Huawei P70 series sales can reach these shipment figures by breaking records.
Huawei P70 series and features
Huawei P70 series features are slowly starting to take shape. Kuo announced that the Huawei P70 model will use a 5P lens and a 1/3.6 inch telephoto sensor. In the P70 Pro model, we see a 6P lens and a 1/2.5 inch sensor size. P70 Art will feature a 1-inch sensor size and 1G6P lens. P, which we encounter in smartphone lenses, means that the lenses are made of plastic. However, Huawei, which is at the top in smartphone cameras, also does this. What is important here is the large number of lenses used. In this way, the smartphone camera can refract light better.
Although the material quality affects the photo quality to some extent, the cost of using glass lenses in such a small area is quite high. However, Huawei P70 Art will use 1 glass lens and 6 plastic lenses. The expression 1G6P here also explains this. The cost of this is considerably more expensive than a 7P lens, that is, a lens that uses 7 layers of lenses. This also indicates that the Huawei P70 Art model will be quite expensive compared to others.
