The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra debuted in April 2024, making it one of Huawei’s freshest flagships as of 2025. With a robust Ultra Lighting camera system and a striking LTPO OLED display, it’s designed for serious photographers and anyone after a distinctive smartphone experience. While you might miss out on Google Mobile Services, you do get a lot of hardware innovation under the bonnet. Still feels like new, just with less packaging (and less impact on the planet).
Key features:
- Release Date: April 2024
- Display: 6.8-inch LTPO OLED, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate
- Processor: Huawei Kirin 9010 (octa-core)
- Camera: Triple rear cameras — 50MP main retractable lens with OIS, 40MP ultra-wide, 50MP telephoto (3.5x optical zoom) and advanced AI features
- Operating System: HarmonyOS 4.x (shipped without Google Mobile Services)
- Connectivity: 5G compatible for fast data and low latency
- Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6E support
- Build: Aluminium frame with scratch-resistant Kunlun Glass protection
Who is this for?
The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is well-suited for mobile photographers, content creators, and anyone looking for cutting-edge camera hardware in their pocket. If you’re after top-tier photographic features or keen to try something different from the usual Android/iOS crowd, this phone stands out. However, if your life revolves around Google apps, consider a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or an iPhone 15 Pro instead—they offer wider app compatibility, but don’t match Huawei’s unique camera capabilities.
