Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Huawei Pura 70 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Superb camera system with versatile zoom functions and excellent detail, particularly for still photography and macro shots.
  • Great battery life, often lasting a full day even with heavy use, and impressive 100W wired and 80W wireless fast charging capabilities.
  • Beautiful and premium design with solid build quality, including durable second-generation Kunlun Glass for drop and scratch resistance.
  • Bright and high-quality 6.8-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
  • Generally smooth and fluid system navigation with EMUI 14.2, performing well in daily use and multitasking.
  • Advanced AI camera algorithms (XMAGE technology) that enhance photos in real-time, including an impressive Ultra Speed Snapshot mode for fast-moving subjects.
  • Generous bundle of accessories included in the retail box (e.g., a case and 100W charger).
  • Strong cellular reception and connectivity for 4G networks.

What we don't like about Huawei Pura 70 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of official Google Mobile Services (GMS) support, requiring workarounds (like MicroG or GBox) that can be inconvenient, frustrating, and may not work for all apps (e.g., Google Pay, some banking/food service apps).
  • Mid-range chipset performance (Kirin 9010) compared to other flagship processors, which can show limitations during intensive gaming sessions or heavy use.
  • No 5G connectivity in international (global) versions due to US sanctions, limiting network speeds.
  • Video recording experience is not as refined as still photography and can occasionally have stability or focus issues.
  • The device can get randomly hot or heat up significantly under sustained heavy use, such as long photo walks or using a hotspot.
  • Some users report bloatware and ads in the default browser and AppGallery, detracting from the premium experience.
  • Curved screen design may not be preferred by all users, with some wishing for a flat panel option.
  • Updating apps can be a tedious process due to software limitations.

Verdict

Huawei's Pura 70 Pro with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage features a prominent 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2500 nits, protected by robust Kunlun Glass. It runs on the Kirin 9010 processor and is equipped with a versatile triple-camera system, highlighted by a 50MP main sensor with a variable aperture, delivering excellent photographic results. A major pro is its powerful 5050mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 80W wireless SuperCharge. The main con for users outside of China is the ongoing lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS), relying instead on Huawei's AppGallery, and the absence of 5G connectivity in international variants.
