Recently, my colleague Xiao Dai went on another trip. As a travel enthusiast, Xiao Dai often takes advantage of holidays to go on adventures. Upon returning, he usually enjoys sharing some interesting stories from his travels with us. However, this time, instead of discussing his experiences, Xiao Dai talked extensively about his decision to bring the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra with him on the trip, rather than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, highlighting how wise and correct this choice was.
Despite his love for travel, Xiao Dai is primarily a seasoned digital editor. With many years of experience in the industry and having handled numerous products, his high praise for the Huawei new device is quite rare and speaks volumes about his fondness for it. This also indicates that the Huawei Pura 70 series indeed has its merits.
Since the release of the Huawei Pura 70 series, online discussions comparing the Huawei Pura 70 series to the iPhone 15 series and determining which one to choose or which is better have been ongoing. However, there is still no definitive answer to this age-old question.
As a digital editor, we can analyze from the perspective of both a professional and an ordinary user, considering some scenarios and practical issues encountered during travel, to explain why travel enthusiasts have a soft spot for the Huawei Pura 70 series.
First and foremost, what is the most important scenario during travel? I believe that over eighty percent of travelers would choose photography. Whether it's capturing famous landmarks, documenting scenic views along the journey, or taking beautiful photos with family, a subpar camera can diminish half the fun of the trip.
In terms of specifications, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has significant advantages over the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra innovatively features a super-telephoto retractable main camera, equipped with a 1-inch large bottom sensor and a large F1.6 physical aperture. It also introduces an industry-first rotating retractable lens structure, utilizing a rotating guide rail drive system to automatically extend the lens when starting a shot, achieving a 1-inch large bottom and F1.6 large aperture within a body thickness of only 8.4mm.
Thanks to its larger effective lens height, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has become the first smartphone to support 1-inch sensor shift stabilization. It uses sensor dynamic motion compensation instead of lens dynamic motion compensation for more precise focusing and stable shooting.
In addition to its impressive main camera specifications, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is also equipped with a 40-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50-megapixel brand-new super macro telephoto lens. The telephoto end supports long-travel sliding shaft focusing, while also featuring the industry's largest F2.1 aperture for telephoto lenses, delivering outstanding focusing capabilities and improved telephoto image quality.
Additionally, this telephoto lens not only offers a long reach but also supports ultra-close focusing at 5cm, enabling 35x super macro shots. Coupled with a large aperture, it allows for capturing macro photos even in low light conditions.
In comparison, the performance of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in terms of imaging can be described as "mediocre." Its main camera and ultra-wide-angle lens basically continue the configuration of previous models, with the standout feature being the groundbreaking use of a unique "periscope telephoto lens" structure at the telephoto end. This allows for a 5x telephoto zoom to be squeezed into a thinner body, elevating the iPhone's telephoto performance to the ranks of "top-tier imaging flagship."
The differences are mainly in the parameters, but in practice, the Huawei Pura 70 series excels even more in capturing, night scenes, and AI imaging. For example, the Huawei Pura 70 series supports ultra-high-speed capture, relying on the new generation of super spotlight imaging system and XD Motion motion engine. Whether capturing distant cars, instant actions on the field, or lively poses of pets at home, it can easily freeze the moment, ensuring users won't miss any exciting moments.
Thanks to a significant increase in light intake, the Huawei Pura 70 series has greatly improved its performance in long-range night scene photography. With no need for a tripod, you can capture stunning night scenes simply by using the night mode.
In addition, the Huawei Pura 70 series also features AI image removal, a boon for travel enthusiasts. With this function, there's no need to worry about passersby accidentally entering the frame while taking photos, allowing one to truly enjoy the beauty of the scenery alone.
When traveling, the battery life of a phone is also worth paying attention to. Extended travel time requires the phone to provide stable battery support continuously. Whether it's the Ultra version or other models, the Huawei Pura 70 series phones excel in battery life.
The Pura 70 Ultra boasts a 5200mAh large battery, 100W wired fast charging, 80W wireless fast charging, and 20W wireless reverse charging. In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro series only charges up to 27W, making the charging speed incomparable.
In conclusion, with a combination of a large capacity battery and fast charging, the Huawei Pura 70 series can maintain a sufficiently long battery life even in all-day use scenarios. This is crucial for travelers who spend extended periods outdoors, using navigation, taking photos, as it not only reduces the hassle of frequent charging but also prevents missing out on capturing wonderful moments due to insufficient battery power.
Signal is also an essential part of the journey. Whether in weak network scenarios such as elevators, high-speed trains, stairwells, underground parking lots, or outdoor areas without ground networks like mountains, deserts, and plateaus, thanks to technologies like intuitive communication and dual satellite communication, the Pura 70 Ultra boasts stronger and more stable signals in weak network conditions, and can still stay connected with the outside world through satellites in areas without ground networks.
In comparison, the satellite communication feature of Apple phones cannot be used in China, and "poor signal" is a common concern. The Huawei Pura 70 series speaks for itself in terms of signal strength without the need for further elaboration.
Overall, compared to the iPhone 15 series, the Huawei Pura 70 series performs better in core scenarios such as photography, battery life, and signal strength, meeting various needs of travel enthusiasts.
Of course, everyone has different needs and preferences, so when choosing a phone, it is important to weigh and choose based on one's own circumstances. However, the Huawei Pura 70 series is undoubtedly a product worth considering and paying attention to.
