According to the latest news from the supply chain, because the Mate60 sold so well, Huawei had to start mass production of the P70 series in advance. According to the supply chain, Huawei has begun to reserve parts and components to prepare for the mass production of the next generation "P70" series of smartphones, which is planned to be launched in 2024.

It is unclear whether Huawei P70 will also use the Kirin 9000S equipped with Mate60Pro, or a more advanced SoC chip.
According to previous news, Huawei plans to ship 60 million to 70 million smartphones in 2024, which is twice the shipment volume in 2023.
In order to achieve this goal, Huawei began to stockpile components such as camera modules, panels, and PCBs to ensure adequate supply.
It should also be noted that relevant sources in the supply chain said that Huawei is still increasing the proportion of domestic parts used. The previous Mate60 accounted for more than 90%, and the P70 series may be better.
Correspondingly, the proportion of domestic suppliers of Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro series has dropped sharply to about 2.5%.
