The Chinese manufacturer has just announce the Pura 70 smartphone range for its home market , made up of the Pura 70 , the Pura 70 Pro , the Pura 70 Pro Plus , and the flagship Pura 70 Ultra .
It ’s the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra in finical that marks a photographic first . Huawei might be severely hamstrung here in the West thanks to its inability to offer access to the common Google Mobile Services , but it continues to double down on its camera offering .
Not only does the Ultra pack a huge 1 - column inch sensor , a variable aperture ( f/1.6 to f/4.0 ) , and sensor - shift stabilization , but also a retractable television camera . This moving camera ( which has been tested for 300,000 retraction ) apparently facilitate that enceinte sensor , make the necessary distance between lens and sensing element without creating an excessively bulky television camera module .
consort to Huawei , this main tv camera is a medical specialist at capture super - crisp dig in high hurrying scenario . The other tv camera incorporate a 50MP 3.5x macro telephotograph and a 40MP extremist - broad .
Elsewhere the Pura 70 Ultra get a 6.8 - in 2844 x 1260 120Hz LTPO OLED display . It also packs a large 5200mAh shelling , along with 100W wire charging and 80W wireless charging .
While Huawei has n’t provided the information itself , reports indicate that the Pura 70 Ultra take to the woods on a new home - brewed 7 nm Kirin 9010 C.P.U. . This will be paired with 16 GB of RAM and either 512 gigabyte or 1 TB of storage .
It ’ll run on Harmony OS 4.2 , Huawei ’s custom UI that still technically runs on Android – for now at least .
The less Pura 70 models appear to have broadly similar specs , but with slightly smaller displays and battery and , in the Pura 70 ’s case , slower 66W wired/50W radio receiver charging . They also , of class , exclude that retractable main camera .
All four Pura 70 models will beon sale in Chinaover the next few days , but we ’ll have to wait and see about the party ’s Western release plans . The Ultra is on sale from today , with pricing from CNY 9,999 ( about £ 1,110 ) .
Opinion
Trusted Take
While we could n’t in safe conscience recommend theHuawei P60 Proto anyone last year , there was no denying that its camera was prodigious . In certain regards , it was beforehand of anything else on the market .
We ’d bet good money on the Pura 70 Ultra offering a vivid photographic experience , even if it wo n’t be able to access many of your preferred apps .
