Huawei Technologies Co officially kicked off the sales of its much-anticipated Pura 70 series on Thursday morning, which is widely seen as the key to further reviving its smartphones business in China.

Pura 70 series is widely expected to generate enthusiasm among consumers in China, and may see a sales boom similar to its Mate 60 series unveiled last year if production capacity can be guaranteed.

Starting from 5,499 yuan ($760), Pura 70 series is equipped with Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS 4.2 operating system and its in-house large language model to support more artificial intelligence functions, Huawei said in a statement.
