Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (16GB + 512GB)

  • Exceptional camera performance, specifically noted for its 1-inch sensor, retractable lens, and superior macro photography
  • Premium design and build quality, often praised for its unique textured eco-leather back and comfortable in-hand feel
  • High-quality LTPO OLED display with accurate colors and excellent brightness levels
  • Fast charging capabilities, including 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, with the charger included in the box
  • Impressive battery life that typically lasts a full day even under heavy usage

What we don't like about Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (16GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of native Google Mobile Services (GMS), requiring workarounds for many popular apps and services
  • Mid-range chipset performance (Kirin 9010) that struggles with high-end gaming compared to competitors like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
  • Expensive pricing that is comparable to or higher than top-tier flagships from Apple and Samsung
  • Missing 5G connectivity in international markets due to hardware restrictions
  • Tedious app update process for applications installed outside of the official AppGallery

Verdict

Huawei's Pura 70 Ultra 512GB model is a high-end flagship defined by its innovative retractable 1-inch sensor camera system, a powerful Kirin 9010 processor, and a stunning 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Pros include its exceptional, high-resolution photography capabilities, ultra-fast 100W wired and 80W wireless charging support, and a robust 16GB of RAM ensuring smooth performance. Primary cons often noted are the device's high price point and the ongoing absence of full Google Mobile Services (GMS), which may limit app accessibility for some users.
