Huawei has surprised everyone by suddenly releasing the long-awaited Huawei Pura 70 series. While many have already seen plenty of videos detailing the appearance and hands-on experience of the Huawei Pura 70 series, we won't reiterate that here. Instead, let's discuss how consumers should choose from the Huawei Pura 70 series.

The versions of the Huawei Pura 70 series are quite complex, with a total of four cup sizes available for users to choose from: Medium Cup - Standard Version, Large Cup - Pro Version, Extra Large Cup - Pro+ Version, and Ultimate Cup - Ultra Version. This covers flagship smartphone price ranges from 5499 yuan to 10999 yuan. Sc41b7f2c-d1f7-49b4-b81b-0dddfff8aad3.jpg Believe it or not, many users might be feeling a bit overwhelmed by now. With so many models, what are the differences and how do you choose? Today, let's delve into that in detail.

Huawei Pura 70: Starting at 5499 yuan

Let's break it down from low to high according to price. First up is the Pura 70 Standard Edition. As a mid-sized model, the Pura 70 Standard Edition can be considered an outlier in the Pura 70 series. It features a distinct square-edged frame and a flat screen design unlike its bigger siblings. The screen size measures 6.6 inches, and the device weighs about 207 grams.

Therefore, consumers can focus more on selecting the desired storage capacity when choosing a version.

While the Pura 70 is the standard edition, as a flagship model, its overall configuration is naturally commendable. It boasts the same main camera imaging capabilities as the Pro version, with the presence of a periscope telephoto lens as well.

Additionally, the glass protection cover is made of second-generation Kunlun glass, not Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass.

In short, the Pura 70 standard version is the thinner and lighter model in the series. While its imaging capabilities may not be outstanding, they're still potent enough for users looking for a balance between slim design and imaging experience.

Huawei Pura 70 Pro: Starting at 6499 yuan

Starting from the Pura 70 Pro, the exterior of the device becomes more rounded, with the screen size increasing to 6.8 inches. Charging specs also jump to 100W, along with support for satellite messaging.

In short, the Pro version sets the benchmark for the Pura 70 imaging experience, without any apparent experience shortcomings, but at the cost of a body weight increase to 220g, almost bidding farewell to the slim and light experience.

Huawei Pura 70 Pro+: Starting from 7999 yuan

The Huawei Pura 70 Pro+, just like that plus sign suggests, is an enhanced version of the Pro rather than a standalone model. The main changes in the Pro+ compared to the Pro are:

  • RAM upgraded from 12GB to 16GB
  • Second-generation Kunlun glass replaced by Xuanwu toughened Kunlun glass
  • Back cover adopts nano-woven light process
  • Transitioned from supporting only satellite messages to dual satellite communication Sf4b01622-7fc3-4019-bafa-c1cab68c254b.jpg Simply put, the day-to-day and imaging experience of the Pro+ is basically the same as the 70 Pro. The Pro+ mainly offers upgrades in peripheral configurations. Users who are looking for better value for money may opt not to go for the Pro+.

As the flagship model, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra naturally boasts top-of-the-line specifications. Not only does it feature the series' unique one-inch primary camera sensor and retractable lens, but it also comes with a larger battery and a luxurious suede back cover. It can be said that it is the top choice for users who pursue both image quality and experience.

  • If you want a balance between imaging and sleek design, opt for the standard version.
  • For the best overall value, go for the Pro model.
  • If you prioritize top-tier imaging performance, go for the Ultra.
  • If you dislike the Ultra's matte finish but still crave top-tier performance, consider the Pro+. s_91dc2860e6464f86bda4a54d22d169d3.jpg
