On the Pura 70 Ultra, there is something that will make tech-savvy mobile photographers drool: a mechanical telescopic (not periscope!) lens structure capable of internal expansion and contraction!
The new Pura line from Huawei is here, that’s the new branding of its iconic (some would say “notorious”) P-series. All in all, there are four Pura variants:
That’s the same Huawei P70 line, succeeding the Huawei P60 line. It’s just called differently now, as we’ve reported.
The “P” stands for “photography”, if you’re wondering (via Gizmochina).
Let’s take a closer look at the brand-new phones!
The ‘vanilla’ Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro
The Pura 70 Pro series features a 6.8-inch OLED display at 2844 x 1260 resolution, supporting a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, 1440 Hz PWM dimming, and 2500 nits brightness (peaking, of course), protected by second generation Kunlun glass – Huawei claims it’s tougher and improves the drop resistance.
In contrast, the Pura 70 has a slightly smaller 6.6-inch display at 2760 x 1256 resolution, also protected by second-generation Kunlun glass.
Both series are powered by the Kiron 9010 chip, successor to the Kirin 9000s (lots of rebranding has been happening lately!), running HarmonyOS 4.2. The chipset includes two cores at 2.30GHz, six cores at 2.18GHz, and four cores at 1.55GHz.
The Pura 70 Pro boasts a 5050 mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, plus 20W reverse wireless charging. The base-line Pura 70 has a 4900mAh battery with 66W wired, 50W wireless, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging. Both support satellite connectivity.
The Pura 70 Pro’s camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with f/1.4-F4.0 aperture and OIS, a 48MP macro telephoto with 35x super macro and f/2.1 aperture, and a 12.5MP ultrawide camera at f/2.2. It also features the XD Motion engine for capturing fast-moving subjects.
