The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra 256GB is Huawei Test's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.8 inches, 109.0 cm2 (~89.3% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 9010 (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5200 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 4,499.
The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra excels with its 2500-nit peak brightness display, ensuring outdoor legibility even under UAE sun, and 100W wired charging that refills 256GB storage from 0 to 70% in 18 minutes. Its 120Hz LTPO OLED with 1440Hz PWM delivers buttery motion and eye comfort during prolonged use. Ideal for professionals in hot climates who need all-day battery life—12h29m active use—and rapid charging without carrying a bulky power bank. However, the 13MP ultrawide is a glaring downgrade; no main sensor is listed, suggesting a compromised camera system despite Huawei’s legacy. The Taishan chipset lacks benchmark transparency, raising concerns about sustained performance under load. In UAE at AED 4499, it’s overpriced compared to Samsung S24 Ultra’s proven 50MP main sensor and global app support. In India, where pricing is unavailable and Google services are absent, it’s not recommended—EMUI 14.2 lacks Play Store, crippling daily utility for most users.
