Pura 70 Pro+ has amazing features and tech capabilities. Being a high-end model, the phone supports dual satellite communication. Users can text or call (as per their preference) their contacts at times of urgency even when stuck in low-network areas.

To check how well satellite devices perform, China Telecom conducted a Tiantong device performance evaluation. Among many models, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ topped in the satellite network performance test with amazing scores in all aspects.

China Telecom states that the Pura 70 Pro+ has won five starts at all stages. For instance, Tiantong satellite network performance, call and SMS latency, positioning, power consumption, and battery life. The device has been perfect in every manner.

Huawei has been two steps ahead of its competitors in the satellite feature and communication technology. The company introduced the first satellite SMS capability with the Mate 50 Pro. The OEM kept upgrading this tech with flagship models.

Satellite Communication: Upgrades

Mate 60 Pro became the world’s first phone to feature a two-way satellite calling function. The technology has now become more interesting with the Pura 70 models that support the image-sending satellite feature for the first time. It not only sends picture messages with text and location but also the image details to the receiver.

The Chinese phone maker also uses a self-developed highly efficient image compression algorithm. With this solution, the picture message compresses up to 800 bytes which is comparable to a 400 Chinese characters message.

Satellite calls and SMS are quite significant features at times of need. But the company has made this tech more useful with the image-sending capability. With the upcoming Mate 70 series, we may find more dynamic changes to this segment.

Following the 618 sales festival, Huawei and Apple tried to spot the top rank in the Chinese high-end smartphone market. As per the JD.com phone race listing, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Apple scored quite well in the mobile phone racing category.

Huawei vs Apple

Although Huawei phone units took over iPhone handsets by a huge number. Apple listed three devices iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

But Huawei became the star of the show with 5 entries including the full Pura 70 series and the Mate 60 Pro. Despite a higher price value, the Mate 60 Pro continues to be the ‘all-time favorite’ among Chinese consumers.

Another reason why Huawei is on top seems to be the growing shift of consumers towards native products rather than choosing U.S.-based or foreign devices.

Mate 60 Pro’s original price is 6499 yuan. While the cost reduction of the device is quite low on JD.com during the 618 sales, the device still sold in good numbers.

Other than Huawei and Apple, Vivo also secured two positions in the 618 sales for high-end smartphones due to X Fold 3 and X100 Ultra. The overall sales show that consumers are more interested in upgrades and innovations which ultimately press Apple for better iPhone launches to compete with its opponents in the market.

Dell’Oro states that region-wise, North America has fallen by 20% in equipment revenue. A root cause behind this decline is weak activity in RAN and broadband access. Although, the positive development in Asia leads to stable growth in the global telecom market.

The analyst of Dell’Oro Group – Stefan Pongratz says that even though the U.S. authorities constantly limited Huawei’s strength and use of its latest chips in the market, the company came out with flying colors. No doubt, it will continue to polish its capabilities in the future as well.

The IPRdaily and incoPat firms have recently analyzed the top 100 companies applying for patent applications. Among several industries, Huawei, CATL, BOE, OPPO, and ZTE grabbed the top five places in the 2023 PCT international patent ranking.

Eventually, Huawei filed around 7822 patents in 2023 for useful and efficient methods that can improve the user experience in all aspects. The company continues to look after and explore new techs for automobiles, phones, and smartwatches.

Meanwhile, around 26.72% of Chinese companies have occupied space in the 2023 PCT patent ranking. The overall number of applications in the last year is approx 74,000. Eventually, China secured first place in the world in the patent submission.

Here is the ranking of the top 5 companies and their filed patents:

• Huawei – 7822 patents
• CATL – 2152 patents
• BOE – 2002 patents
• OPPO – 1849 patents
• ZTE – 1802 patents

So far, the Chinese companies in the patent department aim to spread awareness regarding advanced technologies. On the greener side, they ensure that their methods can provide benefits to every consumer in both native and global markets.

Moreover, PCT enables interested applicants to receive protection on their patents irrespective of country and region. The only requirement is to submit an international application.

As per the latest report, the Chinese tech giant has obtained approval for 2068 patents in the U.S. in 2023. Notably, the number has fallen by 768 applications, compared to the year 2022. Huawei received a decline of 27% YoY which sent it to the eleventh mark in the Top 50 list of the US patent companies ranking.

So far, the Chinese firm has been standing at the fourth position in the US patent ranking till 2022. But the new decline pushed it to the eleventh place. Still, the company is constantly issuing new patents with innovative techs that can lead to the welfare of both the industry and consumers.

Meanwhile, Samsung is at the first rank with 6165 patents. Besides, Qualcomm and TSMC follow at the second and third positions with 3854 and 3687 patents respectively.

In terms of R&D development, Huawei is doing great work and achieved fifth position in the global R&D investment ranking. This has made the company – China’s largest R&D investor with around 20.92 billion euros. But it seems the tech giant needs to put stress on the patent applications, especially in the U.S.

A major reason behind the patent applications decline could be the increase in tension between the Chinese and the U.S. authorities. On the flip side, Huawei is stripping off its public relations in the U.S. and Canada which could have affected the patent subject. It would be worth seeing how the company will pace in this race in the time ahead.
