Huawei has been under constant pressure from external countries due to the technology trade war that has been ongoing for the past 5 to 6 years. The Chinese networking equipment giant and consumer electronics device maker has had to turn to domestic Chinese companies for many of its semiconductors to keep up with smartphone advancements.
The Huawei Pura X is the latest flagship product and is powered by the 12-core system-on-chip (SoC) Kirin 9020, Huawei’s proprietary applications/baseband processor that includes an integrated 5G modem and features a Taishan CPU and Arm Cortex-A510 cores.
Huawei said it has sold more than 700,000 units of the Pura X as consumers enjoy the interesting form factor that includes a foldable screen and 16:10 dimensions.
The following is a partial deep dive into the Chinese smartphone conducted by TechInsights.
