Huawei made waves in the smartphone industry with the launch of its Mate 60 series last August, introducing 5G chips for the first time since the Mate 40 line in 2020. Despite facing challenges due to U.S. export rules, Huawei managed to power its previous flagship phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, albeit tweaked for 4G networks. The Mate 60 series, however, featured the Kirin 9000s AP – a 5G-enabled chip built by China’s leading foundry SMIC.
The Kirin 9010 AP used in the Pura 70 Ultra is produced using SMIC’s 7nm process node. This showcases Huawei’s innovation despite U.S. sanctions and restrictions on advanced technology exports to the company. While limitations exist, Huawei has continued to push boundaries and deliver competitive flagship devices with unique features.
The Pura 70 Ultra boasts a stunning array of specifications:
– A 6.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1260 x 2844 and a smooth120Hz refresh rate
– Impressive camera setup including a 50MP primary camera with variable aperture and OIS, a telephoto camera offering optical zoom, and a high-quality ultra-wide camera
– A powerful front-facing selfie camera at 13MP
– Massive storage options with up to 1TB available
– Fast charging capabilities with a 5200mAh battery that supports up to100W wired charging and 80W wireless charging
– Pre-installed HarmonyOS4.2 for seamless user experience
Despite challenges faced by Huawei, the Pura70 Ultra showcases the brand’s commitment to innovation and delivering cutting-edge technology to consumers. With satellite connectivity for text messaging and image sharing in areas without cellular network coverage, Huawei continues to push boundaries in the telecommunications industry.
