Huawei recently unveiled its upcoming Pura 70 series, replacing the popular P series. While the excitement builds, a new leak suggests production issues might cause stock shortages, particularly for the Pura 70 Pro.
Pro Version in Short Supply: Huawei Pura 70 Series Hit by Production Issues
On April 15th, Huawei’s official Weibo account started the promotional campaign by posting several teaser videos on the upcoming Pura series. Although the videos don’t tease the device yet but suggest the phones will be beautiful. Huawei’s CEO, Richard Yu, hinted at “good news” coming soon, suggesting an imminent launch.
However, insiders suggest production capacity struggles could lead to limited availability, particularly for the Pro and Ultra models. The information comes from Digital Chat Station claiming a significant mismatch between supply and demand for the Pura 70 lineup.
Offline distributors reportedly expect the standard Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+ to have the most stock. These models (deluxe edition) might even come bundled with perks like the FreeBuds 5 earbuds (check out our full review of FreeBuds 5). However, the Pura 70 Pro appears to be in short supply, potentially making it the most difficult to purchase at launch.
The situation gets even trickier for those eyeing the top-of-the-line Pura 70 Ultra. Sources suggest there might not even be an initial pre-order batch available, hinting at extremely limited quantities at launch.
As the launch nears, reports indicate some Huawei-authorized stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have begun “blind box reservations.” Distributors are unsure of the exact stocking time for offline stores, adding to the mystery. Leaks suggest a launch before the end of April, possibly as early as April 18th.
While the exact specifications remain under wraps, leaks suggest the Pura 70 series will boast 12GB to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, and a distinct triangular rear camera design. To delve into comprehensive details about the Pura 70 series, explore our explainer article.
