Introduction

The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (MOHUA51097WWLB) in Green, bundled with Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 and 6 months of Huawei Care+, promises a premium smartphone experience. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting this Middle East version through its paces, and this review will delve into its strengths and weaknesses.

Key Features

The Pura 70 Ultra boasts a stunning 6.8-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and gaming incredibly smooth. The pop-up camera is a standout feature, housing a massive 1-inch sensor for exceptional low-light photography. The robust Kunlun Glass offers improved scratch and drop resistance, a significant plus. Other notable features include 16GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage, a large 5200mAh battery with fast charging, and HarmonyOS, providing a user-friendly experience.

Performance & Battery Life

With 16GB of RAM, multitasking is effortless. The phone handled demanding games and apps without lag. The 5200mAh battery easily lasted a full day, even with heavy usage. Fast charging is a welcome feature, replenishing the battery quickly. HarmonyOS runs smoothly and feels intuitive, though the transition from Android might take some time for certain users.

In real-world use, I found the phone to be extremely responsive. Switching between apps was instantaneous, and even graphically demanding mobile games ran flawlessly. The battery life exceeded my expectations; I consistently made it through a full day on a single charge, even with extended use of the camera and GPS.

Camera Performance

The Pura 70 Ultra’s camera system is a true highlight. The innovative pop-up mechanism houses a large 1-inch sensor, resulting in excellent image quality, even in low light. The detail captured in photos is astounding, and the dynamic range is impressive. Video recording is equally impressive. The camera’s autofocus is rapid and accurate, and image stabilization helps keep footage smooth.

However, the camera app could benefit from some UI refinements. Some settings are buried deep within the menu, and the user interface feels a little cluttered at times.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Stunning display, powerful performance, excellent camera, long battery life, durable Kunlun Glass, impressive bundled gifts.
• Cons: Camera app UI could be improved, some users may find the transition to HarmonyOS challenging. The pop-up mechanism, while visually striking, might be a concern for some users worried about durability.

Final Verdict

The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (MOHUA51097WWLB) offers a premium smartphone experience. The combination of powerful performance, a stunning display, and an exceptional camera makes it a compelling option. The included Freebuds Pro 3 and Huawei Care+ sweeten the deal. While the camera app UI could be improved, and the transition to HarmonyOS takes some getting used to, these drawbacks are overshadowed by its overall strengths. I highly recommend this phone to anyone seeking a high-end Android alternative.
