On April 17th, Huawei announced the official upgrade of its P series to "Pura", with the Pura 70 becoming the inaugural product of this new series. However, Huawei has not disclosed the exact release date for the Pura 70.
Many netizens speculate that the Pura 70 series might be available for sale as early as April 18th, as Huawei's first-generation P series flagship was launched on April 18th, 12 years ago.
According to public information, the first generation flagship of Huawei's P series was named Ascend P1, which was launched in January 2012 and subsequently went on sale on April 18, 2012.
After 12 years, the P series has been upgraded to the Pura series, with the release of the Pura 70 imminent. Many Huawei offline stores have started accepting blind appointments and are ready to go on sale.
As a member of Huawei's flagship smartphone series, the Pura 70 is expected to continue the previous Mate series' strong market performance, thereby helping Huawei to quickly regain its position in the smartphone market.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that shipments of the Pura 70 series are expected to increase by about 230% year-on-year, reaching 15 million units.
