What we like about Huawei Pura 70 Pro Plus (16GB + 1TB)

  • Excellent camera quality, especially for portraits and macro photography, with advanced AI features and a wide variable aperture.
  • Exceptional battery life, with a large 5050 mAh capacity that lasts all day even with heavy use.
  • Incredibly fast 100W wired and 80W wireless charging speeds.
  • Stunning 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and high brightness/resolution.
  • Premium, elegant, and durable design featuring a strong Kunlun Glass 2 screen and IP68 water resistance.
  • Smooth and responsive overall performance for daily tasks and most games, despite the chipset being behind the competition on paper.
  • Clear network reception and excellent call quality due to intelligent noise reduction.
  • Ample storage and RAM options (16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage).
  • Offers great value, especially when bundled with promotional offers/freebies in certain markets.

What we don't like about Huawei Pura 70 Pro Plus (16GB + 1TB)

  • Lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS) outside of China limits functionality for apps like Google Pay, Disney+, and Google Drive, requiring workarounds or alternatives.
  • Processor (Kirin 9010) is considered less powerful and at least a generation or two behind current flagship competitors in raw specs.
  • Some users report minor heating during camera processing or intense gaming.
  • Gaming performance can have frame rate limitations in certain titles (e.g., PUBG maxed at 90Hz).
  • Video recording quality is good but lacks 8K capability, and low-light video can show noise.
  • Main camera's contrast and light handling at night could be better compared to top-tier rivals in 'point-and-shoot' mode.
  • Slower UFS 3.1 storage standard instead of the newer UFS 4.0 found in some competing flagships.

Verdict

The Huawei Pura 70 Pro Plus (16GB + 1TB) is a premium flagship smartphone running HarmonyOS 4.2 (or EMUI 14.2 globally) and powered by the Kirin 9010 processor. It features a large 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 2500 nits peak brightness, protected by durable Kunlun Glass 2. A highly versatile rear camera system headlines its features, including a 50MP main sensor with variable aperture and OIS, a 48MP macro telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom, and a 12.5MP ultrawide lens. The device is also IP68 dust and water-resistant and packs a substantial 5050mAh battery with extremely fast 100W wired and 80W wireless charging capabilities. The main drawback is the ongoing lack of full Google Mobile Services (GMS) support outside of China and the absence of 5G connectivity in some international variants, which may limit app accessibility and network speeds for some users.
