Pura 70 Pro and Pro+ are a couple of eye-catching phones, each with a different style. The back panel is the first of the few differences between the two; the second is that the Plus has 16 GB RAM, while the regular Pro makes do with 12 GB. Finally, the more premium model supports satellite messaging, working with Beidou and Tiantong satellites, but this feature will not be available on overseas devices. Everything else – display, cameras, battery is identical between the two.
We are looking at a 6.8” LTPO OLED panel
with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2,844 x 1,260 pixels. The screen
is protected by a different type of Kunlun glass, which is Basalt-tempered – a
Huawei patent technology seen previously only in the Mate 60 RS. It should
improve the durability twice, compared with other Kunlun Glass solutions,
according to Huawei's internal tests.
Huawei Pura 70 Pro and Pro+ feature triple
rear cameras. The main 50 MP f/1.4-f/4.0 with OIS is identical to the vanilla
Pura 70, while the telephoto gets an upgrade to a 48 MP sensor and F/2.1 3.5x
lens with OIS. A 12.5 MP ultrawide snapper rounds up the back. The Pro duo
comes with a Super Focus Macro feature that can focus on objects 5 cm from the
cam.
The Pura 70 Pro+ features a woven plaid
design and is available in three different color options. It's still merely a
layer under the glass back, but it looks cool and changes depending on the
lighting. The Pura 70 Pro, in contrast, has a plain panel. Underneath is a
5,050 mAh battery with 100W wired, 80W wireless and 20W reverse wireless
charging support. The OS is once again HarmonyOS 4.2. Huawei sells Pura 70 Pro
in White, Black and Purple with a starting price of CNY 6,499 (US$ 900/€ 840) for
the 12/256 GB option, while the most expensive version with 1 TB storage is
CNY 7,999 (US$ 1,100/€ 1,030).
Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ comes in Silver,
White, and Black and costs CNY 7,999 for 16/512 GB, while double the storage is
CNY 8,999 (US$ 1,245/€ 1,165). Both phones are up for pre-order, while actual sales
will begin on April 22. There is no word whether these phones will go
international or will remain China-exclusive like the Mate 60 series.
