What we don't like about Huawei Mate 70 (12GB + 1TB)

  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS) and official support for Google apps/services
  • Relatively high price points that rival top-tier global flagships from Apple and Samsung
  • Processor performance lags behind competitors, with chipsets comparable to older generation rivals
  • HarmonyOS NEXT dropping support for legacy Android apps, potentially complicating user experience
  • Heavier and bulkier feel on some models, or inconsistent haptics on ultra-slim variants
  • Camera app can feel sluggish at times despite high-quality hardware

Verdict

The Huawei Mate 70 with 12GB RAM and 1TB (1TB) storage is a flagship smartphone running on the HarmonyOS 5 or HarmonyOS Next 5 operating system. Key specifications include a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and durable Kunlun Glass 2 protection, powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 9010 processor. It features a versatile rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor offering a variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture, a 12MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide lens, alongside a 13MP front camera. A 5,300mAh battery powers the device, supporting 66W wired and 50W wireless SuperCharge technology, along with Beidou satellite connectivity. Main pros include the premium design, excellent camera performance with AI features, a vibrant display, 5G support, and the large battery capacity with fast charging. The primary cons are the lack of Google services due to US restrictions, limited availability outside of the China market, and a relatively high price point.
