The panel is protected by second-generation Kunlun Glass and includes an in-screen fingerprint scanner for seamless biometric authentication.
Under the hood, both phones are driven by the Kirin 9010 chipset — a configuration featuring two large cores at 2.30GHz, six medium cores at 2.18GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.55GHz, paired with a Maleon 910 GPU. The devices run HarmonyOS 4.2.
Connectivity features include dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, an IR blaster, and satellite calling capability. Both handsets carry an IP68 rating, making them dust and water resistant.
Battery capacity differs slightly between the two: the Pura 70 Pro+ packs a 5,050mAh cell while the Pura 70 Ultra houses a larger 5,200mAh battery. Both support 100W wired fast charging, 80W wireless charging, and 20W reverse wireless charging.
Camera System: Where the Pura 70 Ultra Shines
Photography is the headline story for the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra. It sports the XMAGE image system built around a massive 1-inch 50MP primary sensor equipped with a mechanically rotating telescopic lens that expands and contracts internally. Huawei claims the mechanism can endure at least 3,00,000 cycles without degradation, and the sensor can capture sharp images even at a subject speed of 300 km/h.
The primary camera offers a variable aperture range of f/1.6 to f/4.0 and sensor-shift optical image stabilisation (OIS). Complementing it is a 40MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP telephoto macro camera with OIS. The front-facing camera on both models is a 13MP shooter.
The Pura 70 Pro+ shares the same primary camera format with a slightly wider maximum aperture of f/1.4, paired with a 12.5MP ultra-wide lens and a 48MP telephoto macro camera with OIS.
