The Huawei Pura 70 series, as the first product renamed from the Huawei P series, has garnered significant attention, with its popularity evident even before its release.
When the Huawei Pura 70 series officially hit the shelves, it broke conventions with its groundbreaking design, especially the highly recognizable rear camera module design, once again leading the way in aesthetic innovation.
Let's take this opportunity to explore the new Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ in Light Weaving Silver.
Compared to the Phantom Black and Harmony White color options, I might lean towards recommending this Light Silver color. Silver is a commonly used color by Huawei, as seen in the classic Frost Silver option on the Huawei P40 Pro. While the manufacturing processes may vary, in a way, it can be considered a continuation of the P series.
The all-new Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ in Silver Light Weave features a sleek silver-white glossy finish that reflects varying levels of brightness and darkness even under the same lighting conditions, creating a color design with dynamic light and shadow effects for a more three-dimensional appearance.
The back panel is made of glass material, but it is expected that some texture design has been done to distinguish it from other models. White and silver lines intersect to form multiple triangles, layered and intertwined on the back panel. Within the triangles formed by the silver lines, straight lines divide to create a texture, officially referred to as light weaving grid pattern, which visually presents a strong sense of hierarchy.
If we were to talk about the most prominent design feature on the back panel, undoubtedly it would be the impressive rear camera module design that stands out even from a distance of a hundred meters.
What sets it apart from the past is that the Huawei Pura 70 series all adopt a triangular layout for the camera modules, distinguishing itself from the crowd of flagship models with large circular camera bumps, making it a truly high-recognizability rear camera module design.
The main camera and ultra-wide-angle lenses are located on the left side, while the large circular area on the right houses the telephoto lens. The three lenses and flash are symmetrically arranged. The camera module and the back cover are color-coordinated, creating a balanced and visually pleasing design.
We all know that nowadays, camera sensor sizes are getting larger, while the internal space of smartphones is quite limited, leading to the trend of using a large circular module in the center. The seemingly simple symmetrical layout of one large and two small lenses on the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ not only considers sensor size but also aesthetic design, making it quite rare.
The middle frame is made of aluminum alloy, with a slight curve that seamlessly connects to the back panel in the same color scheme, giving it a more integrated look. As a result, the grip of the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ is much better compared to models with a flat middle frame, without any rough edges. The only downside is that the back cover and middle frame are prone to fingerprints in daily use, but this doesn't have a significant impact, as most people would still choose to use a phone case.
On the front is a 6.8-inch equally curved screen, supporting high-quality features such as 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 2500 nits, delivering precise colors and smooth visual effects.
It is worth mentioning that its material is obsidian toughened Kunlun glass, with unquestionable drop resistance and scratch resistance, making its durability beyond doubt.
Compared to the other three models, they are actually quite similar in design, with the main differences being in color schemes and back cover materials.
The standard and Pro versions lean towards a frosted glass material, while the Pro+ features a glossy glass finish. As for the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, in addition to the plain leather back cover, there is also a small extra design element on the rear camera module.
Overall, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ features a highly distinctive triangular rear camera module design and a unique light woven grid pattern that sets it apart from the other three versions of the model. It is a new product that is both stunning at first sight and enduringly captivating.
Most importantly, it overturns the uniformity of traditional designs and once again sets a new trend in smartphone design aesthetics.
Of course, in addition to its aesthetic design, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ boasts impressive specifications across the board, making it a comprehensive flagship device.
For instance, in terms of imaging, it features a new generation 50-megapixel ultra-high-definition main camera, a 48-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 12.5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. This setup constitutes a truly flagship-level imaging configuration. Coupled with its high-speed snapshot function, it can provide users with an ultimate imaging experience.
Finally, let's address a common question: the difference between the Pura 70 Pro+ and the Mate60 Pro. In terms of user experience, the impact of their configurations is actually not significant, with little difference in performance. The main distinctions lie more in the daily visual and tactile feel.
The Pura 70 Pro+ measures 162.6mm x 75.1mm x 8.4mm and weighs 220g, while the Mate60 Pro comes in at 163.65mm x 79mm x 8.1mm and weighs 225g.
Visually, despite having the same screen size, the Mate60 Pro appears slightly wider. As for the tactile experience, the slender body and lighter weight of the Pura 70 Pro+ make it easier to hold. However, both devices have curved frames that are ergonomically designed, so neither should feel uncomfortable in hand.
For those contemplating between these two products, this can serve as a simple point of reference.
