Huawei Pura 70 Ultra Launched with 1″ Retractable Main Cam

Huawei’s latest Pura 70 lineup boasts four variants, with the Pura 70 Ultra standing out as the most advanced model. Sharing core specifications with the Pura 70 Pro+, the Ultra model distinguishes itself with an exclusive vegan leather back and a superior camera system. This setup features a 1-inch main sensor equipped with a retractable lens and variable aperture, enhancing photography capabilities.

A notable innovation in the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is the retractable mechanism for the 50 MP main camera’s lens, which elevates when in use. This rotating telescopic lens employs an intricate motorized structure tested by Huawei for 300,000 cycles of expansion and contraction. The main camera boasts a variable f/1.6 – 4.0 lens and a 22.5mm focal length, complemented by a new XD Motion engine for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Additionally, the device includes a 50 MP telephoto lens with a 90 mm f/2.1 lens, optical image stabilization (OIS), and 3.5x optical zoom. This telephoto camera also functions as a macro shooter, enabling close-ups as near as 5 cm with its 35x super macro mode. The ultrawide camera features a 40 MP sensor and a 13mm equivalent focal length.

Huawei integrates AI advancements, offering AI photo cloud enhancement, subject removal, and image retouching capabilities. The Huawei Pura 70 Ultra sports a quad-curved 6.8-inch LTPO OLED screen with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The display reaches a peak brightness of 2,500 nits and includes a 13 MP front camera and an under-display fingerprint scanner, protected by the latest generation Kunlun glass.

Powering the device is Huawei’s new Kirin 9010 chipset with an 8-core CPU, speculated to be manufactured on a 7nm process in China. The Pura 70 Ultra also features dual satellite connectivity with Beidou and Tiantong support, IP68 water and dust resistance, and a 5,200 mAh battery supporting 100W wired, 80W wireless, and 20W reverse charging. It runs on HarmonyOS 4.2.

Available in Chanson green, Mocha brown, Starburst white, and Star black, the Pura 70 Ultra is priced at CNY 9,999 ($1,380) for the 16GB/512GB version and CNY 10,999 ($1,520) for the 16GB/1TB version.
