Consumers in China rushed to get their hands on Huawei’s newest handset model Pura 70 in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzen cities on April 18 which many analysts expect to contain an advanced China-made chip like its Mate 60 handset.

Roughly a hundred customers at the flagship store in Shenzhen were handed bottles of water as they awaited their turn to purchase. Buyers at the store in Shanghai were required to open the box and register the device at the store.

Huawei staff also told some fans in the lines that there is no guarantee that they can get the device on Thursday as demand is high. The Pura series developed by the Shenzhen-based company has advanced cameras and is known for its sleek design, while the Mate series emphasizes performance and business features.

The Pura 70 series has four variants: the 70, the 70 Plus, the 70 Pro and the 70 Ultra. The starting price for the Pura 70 series is 5,499 yuan ($760.06). The Pro and Ultra versions were available to customers on Thursday, while the Plus and base versions will begin sales on April 22.
