April 19, 2024

Huawei has taken the curtain off from the Pura 70 Series in China. This flagship lineup brings three devices: Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro+, and Pura 70 Ultra. Among them, the latter one is the most interesting guy with a retractable lens. Here in this article, we’ll talk about the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, its specs, features, and expected price in Nepal.

Huawei Pura 70 Ultra Overview:

Retractable Camera

As a flagship guy, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra packs a solid camera setup. Especially, the 50MP 1-inch main camera is retractable which pops up whenever you click a picture. This is all possible due to an intricate motorized structure that is tested for 300,000 cycles of expansion and contraction. You get a variable aperture from f/1.6 to f/4.0 and a 22.5mm focal length.

Second up, there is a 50MP telephoto lens with OIS and 3.5X optical zoom. Huawei has also provided a 35x super macro mode on this camera to capture close-up subjects. Likewise, the third unit is an ultrawide shooter with a 40MP resolution and a f/2.2 aperture. In terms of videography, the Pura 70 Ultra can shoot up to 4K videos at 60fps. No 8K recording here! Last but not least is a 13MP snapper upfront for taking selfies and video calls.

Design and Display

Talking of the design, the Pura 70 Ultra brings a unique-looking triangular camera module on the back. The aluminum middle frame is a slightly curved one while the display bears minimal bezels. It also secures an IP68 rating against dust and water drips. Likewise, the device is available in four colorways: Chanson green, Mocha brown, Starburst white, and Star black.

As for the screen, it is a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Other features include a wide P3 color gamut support, 1440Hz PWM dimming, 300Hz touch sampling rate, and Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass protection.

Performance

Powering the Pura 70 Ultra from the core is a Kirin 9010 chipset. It is rumored to boast a 4+6+2 core architecture with a 7nm fabrication process, which slightly outperforms the Kirin 9000s used in the Mate 60 series. Huawei has paired the chip with 16GB of RAM and 512GB/1TB of internal storage. Likewise, booting the phone is Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4.2.

Battery, Charging, and Others

This flagship smartphone gets its juice from a 5200mAh battery. It supports 100W wired, 80W wireless, and 20W reverse wireless charging support. You also get satellite connectivity with Beidou and Tiantong. Other connectivity features include WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port.
