Verdict

The Huawei Mate 70 Pro is a flagship smartphone that was released in China in November 2024, featuring a powerful HiSilicon Kirin 9020 processor and a large 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2500 nits. The 12GB RAM and 1TB (1TB) storage configuration provides extensive memory and space for demanding use. A major pro is its sophisticated triple-camera system (50MP main, 40MP ultrawide, 48MP telephoto) with AI enhancements and variable aperture, delivering excellent photo quality, especially in diverse lighting conditions. Another strength includes the substantial 5,500 mAh battery with ultra-fast 100W wired and 80W wireless charging support. The main drawback is the ongoing lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS) outside of China, which may require workarounds for users heavily reliant on the Google ecosystem, and the device runs on HarmonyOS which is not compatible with Android apps in its native version.
