No wonder why Apple had to discount there phones to compete with Huawei, the design and camera is top notch 👌 if it wasn't for the US sanctions Huawei could beat apple and Samsung
I had the same phone but was forced to switch due to the sanctions. Bought Samsung but it´s terrible compared to Huawei p40 pro. Apple and Samsung can compete with Huawei only by banning Google services
Man i remember back when huawei still had google, they would go toe to toe with apple and samsung, their cameras were great but their build quality was on another level
that's true i have got a chance to open smartphones to see build quality, and found Huawei and Honor phones to be way up there in the league of Apple and Samsung. it's a shame that US can't digest competition from abroad.
The screen and camera is the only flagship about this flagship phone. No 5G, old Bluetooth version, and performance is lower mid-tier ( same as Mediatek 8200 Ultra).
The good thing about Huawei is that despite USA sanctions on it Huawei is still able to survive and not collapse. The bad thing about it is they need nationalistic supporters and very diehard fans in order to keep it relevant and the price for this support is very expensive phones a d Huawei products. As a casual and with so many china bbk phones to buy from it's hard for me to buy another Huawei under such circumstances. Nonetheless though they are already putting up a very good fight against USA already.
I'm not a Huawei user, but your statement of them needing people who are nationalistic or loyal to the brand to be relevant are contradicted by the rest of your comment. The fact that there is are so many other Chinese brands at more competitive prices means Huawei continues to bring something real to the table and not just a reliance on the brand name.
The Huawei brand name itself literally mean the pride of Chinese and China have a very large population within china who are taught to be nationalists and protective of their own country. Factor in the fact that there are also large body of Chinese moving and migrating all over the world these days as well as Huawei is actually a very good and solid tech making company which is popular with many Europeans this company have been able to survived after so many years of sanctions by USA. If there is no sanctions to begin with Huawei fanbase will be even bigger and would have already toppled off apple and Samsung off the global sales charts. Before the sanctions Huawei was the fastest uprising brand giving the most innovations and quality in their products for a fraction of what the top selling phones are asking for. After the sanctions their star power fade alot but there are still many people who still remember Huawei in its heyday and also admire Huawei guts against America and these global fanbase is still able to keep Huawei afloat and thriving under current circumstances.
There are quite a few billions people in this world right now. Many are casual over many things in life and I'm one of them despite being quite a high earner. Lol But there are even more people in this world who are very obsess with what they use,have and want in life and a phone somehow manage to be one of the most prominent and easily seen object for these people to assert and validate their style,status and beliefs in this world. Quite funny and exasperating but unfortunately our world is really like this right now and people cannot be taught or forced to change themselves if they don't want to to begin with.

Cool review! Using p20 pro since 2018 and I'm still amaze by how friendly and fast this phone can be. Will soon upgrade to pura 70 ultra. Waiting for this top-notch specs ✨
Would love to get this. I am using Huawei P30, got this at the start of the pandemic when my Sony Xperia got busted (Sony mobile users here since Sony Ericsson). Started as a no-other-choice pick, since it was pandemic and I don't like Samsung with its plasticky feel and bloatwares. Its been 4 years already and never been happier. Loving the camera, very fast charging and the battery life(even after 4 yrs) and the overall performance.
Im a proud owner of p20 and this is the best phone i have used, ive been using it since 2018 and its solid in every aspect. Im looking to upgrade with the new huawei phones i really like their products, but the lack of google apps makes second guess how its goign to be long run, coz if i get it im going to use it for at least 5 years, i hate changing phones.
The pura ultra came in appgallery with micro g and u can have native gms without gbox.Also the global came without 5g only 4g in EU.Chinese versions had 5g .
The big question is if the global version have the 5g connection but is blocked because of the software or it really doesn't have the 5g socket? I read that in other countries people tested the connection speed and is the same as an 5g phone, but it doesn't appear the 5g icon.

The Google ban was the only reason why I switched from my beloved Huawei Mate 20X to Iphone 13 Pro Max in 2022 after more than 3 years using it. As someone who loves to take videos & edit them on my phone, Huawei has the best camera. 😢 I would return to Huawei in a heartbeat if the dispute can be resolved...
Pretty impressive, from what I've seen so far. The Kirin 9010 is its only (even though a substantial) weakness. With Google services and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, this would be the definitive flagship in my eyes. Too bad. I will say, however, that Dimensity 8200 Ultra performance is not too shabby for a chip based upon a SMIC node. Sure, their cutting-edge stuff is pretty much a copy of TSMC's N7 node, but given what they can achieve with it, they must have at least that down pretty well.
Not one iPhone user, ever, cross shopped with Huawei. Apple has no fear of any other manufacturer. Their people are a cult, and as such are not going anywhere. People that make this comparison are embarrassing themselves. Samsung on the other hand, could definitely get it's ass handed to them by Huawei should the ban be lifted.
@@hemidesignJust shutup, samsung fanboy, nobody is destroyed by any other, huawei has its own place and samsung has its own, it depends on us what we choose
They shouldn't have abandon NM cards, especially now, when third party manufacturers making them. I tried my NM card on Pura 70 in second slot with hope, but no luck. Fits perfectly, but doesn't work. And they should have make Pura 70 base model 1 cm shorter and 4 mm narrower. They should push NM cards into middle and budget models and make a faster version.
Huawei: Not Android anymore folks!! GSMArena: Built on top of Android 12. I love how every "Android Alternative" is just AOSP with slightly different flavor.
Emui are Aosp. But Harmony Os next will be dedicated apps with own Kernel and no support of apk apps. But this will be China only in beginning because of sells in China and developers support it for possible to get good profits for alot of devices
EMUI is built on top of EMIUI. HMOS is now fully independent from AOSP , won't even support apk soon HMOS 1-3 was kind of "fake it till you make" but HMOS4 is only mentaining compatibility layer. Kernel and everything is in house and different.
@@mrderby01 Harmony Os Next will be own Kernel with only dedicated apps no support for Apk or Aosp. So thats why China only and developers beta already out today. October to December Mate 70 pro will be the first device to get stable version. Sweden havent sold Huawei since they got Appgallery they have it for 1 year and customers couldnt get the apps they needed and turn the devices back and stores stop sell it.
Samsung Galaxy S series and Note series' was same for stoped note , Even like Huawei Pura series and Mate series like same maybe mate series' stoped after few years, I'm using Huawei mate 50 pro orange
I think with MicroG services, anyone could use this device as a normal android device. But I really like what Huawei is doing with Harmony OS. USA is unknowingly making a challenging tech giant. Which is really good for this world. We will have a good 3rd party alternative
Yes atleast in China they have the customers and support of the developers so there it will work good and have the apps customers want. But global i cant see they get the apps customers want in the near time so sure they stay on Emui. Very few customers buy a phone without apps they want thats why Sweden stop sell it after P40 pro and alot of tablets customers missed that Google Play Store was gone and when they search in App Gallery very few apps where available and when download apk files from Petal search the Apps didnt worked correctly so they go to the store and return the devices. Then Huawei stop sell in Sweden. Very few customers installed Google fier or Virtual Machine apps for customers want it to be easy and have Play Store.
@@parshakamarsh I mean that android part is not really important since it is using its own os that is just based on android so you can run apk anrdoid apps
Your assertion that a $1,500 phone without the Google Play store is a sound investment is perplexing. The absence of the Play store significantly diminishes the phone's value, rendering its impressive hardware largely irrelevant. Without the Play store's extensive app ecosystem, the phone is essentially a device with subpar software, severely limiting its overall appeal. Give me Google and give me the Pixel phone exclusive and everything that goes along with it, and that's a dynamic experience to say the least.
No offense Huawei. The price with that processor is a big joke. Good work on manufacturing your own chip but its 3 generation behind Qualcomm/mediatek chip. Lower the price. Get off your high horse !
HUAWEI needs to improve on the loudness of their speakers, and also the longevity of the side buttons (volume and switch buttons), cos the buttons sink and then fail to work quite easily.
Given Huawei's stated intention to move away from an Android based OS, and introduce the Harmony Next OS later this year, will the global release Pura 70 series running the EMUI OS be transferred over to the Harmony OS?
Harmony Os next will only support dedicated apps and not Apk or Aosp. So im sure they stay on Emui for global devices. 10 000 dedicated Chinese apps in December and nothing else will not work international and no support of Gbox because of no Aosp and dedicated Harmony Kernel
my p30 pro with kirin 980 behind 5 years ago but it can run games smoother than snapdragons midrange chipset. it can run ultra graphics in mobile legends 🙀
Isn't there like a way to completely flash this thing and install a custom open source OS with Google and everything on it, and still use it incredible hardware features?
If it wasn't for the U.S ban we wouldn't be here having this conversation about who had the best phone ever made. Huawei was miles ahead of the iPhones and the Samsung's of this world. It was never proven that Huawei was spying. Just staying.
A Mid range chipset in a flagship device is one of the biggest disappointments of the phone, i hate you, Huawei for doing that. You could have used Snapdragon 8 gen 2 4g version instead
I understand that. But i also know that Huawei used 4G versions of Snapdragon chips for past few years. They could have just used a 4G version of Snapdragon 8 gen 3/2 and still retain that flagship power. And also, I heard that despite the US restrictions, Huawei's mate 60 pro is powered by a flagship level kirin 9000s chip, with 5G built-in. Now you tell me, why they didn't gone to the 4G or Kirin route for this Pura 70 series.?
Because they need money to give you what you want. They are already struggling in sales after the sanctions and so they can't go down this route in the long-term so they optimise their chips and focus on other areas of their phones instead.
Also each time Huawei tried to work past usa sanctions USA throw new curve ball at Huawei. Huawei can't install gms directly in the beginning and can only use gateway methods together through it. Huawei cannot use 5g and just when Qualcomm can create non 5g flagship chips for Huawei Huawei cannot use certain nanometre chip size wafer. The list goes on. If you are Huawei what can you do in their shoes?🙂
Yep, There is that too. Who knows what happens next..? If the US restrictions never happened, Huawei would've become the "Smartphone Superpower". But now, Samsung is currently the King of The Android, while Apple is suffering from Illegal Smartphone Monopoly Lawsuit. Things are not better than before now
The speaker test make no sense a song recorded from the phone speaker played again throu the phone speaker and recorded to us to hear by the our phone speaker We need to hear som no copyright sounds that have a great sound quality
The Lack of Google support can actually be a benefit, it just depends on how you look at it Because so many people out there trying to de-google their phones Especially now where google starts to inject bloatware to my phones through updates and starts to telling me what to do with my phone and all of the files in it.
This stole the top spot on DXO Mark, from their former sub-brand Honor's Magic 6 Pro. I'm intending on getting the latter though, for convenience reasons.
You can use Gms native with Microg that doesnt work are Google Pay and Google Assistant. You can even get Android Auto to work properly when a youtube review tested it. I dont like a virtual machine like Gbox for that something else. Tryed Google Fier vs Virtual Machine when i own P40 pro and i can save native Gms are alot better and now with Microg its alot easier and even works better so thats good. I dont play games on my phone so im sure i havent seen any difference in my use case and i only want a good camera and possibilities to get the apps im using daily.
Using Huawei p30 pro since 2019 and still this phone is far better than any Midbudget phone.

What part about the US sanctions do you not understand ?
I understand that. But i also know that Huawei used 4G versions of Snapdragon chips for past few years. They could have just used a 4G version of Snapdragon 8 gen 3/2 and still retain that flagship power.
And also, I heard that despite the US restrictions, Huawei's mate 60 pro is powered by a flagship level kirin 9000s chip, with 5G built-in.
Now you tell me, why they didn't gone to the 4G or Kirin route for this Pura 70 series.?
Because they need money to give you what you want. They are already struggling in sales after the sanctions and so they can't go down this route in the long-term so they optimise their chips and focus on other areas of their phones instead.
Also each time Huawei tried to work past usa sanctions USA throw new curve ball at Huawei. Huawei can't install gms directly in the beginning and can only use gateway methods together through it. Huawei cannot use 5g and just when Qualcomm can create non 5g flagship chips for Huawei Huawei cannot use certain nanometre chip size wafer. The list goes on. If you are Huawei what can you do in their shoes?🙂
Yep, There is that too. Who knows what happens next..?
If the US restrictions never happened, Huawei would've become the "Smartphone Superpower". But now, Samsung is currently the King of The Android, while Apple is suffering from Illegal Smartphone Monopoly Lawsuit. Things are not better than before now
If you installed google services and such, can the phone now use google chromecast? like spotify, netlfix?
We need review, camera battle of Pura 70 standard version and Pro version.
Huawei always best ❤
Thf sound is still pretty good
Where can I buy a Huawei phone because Amazon is no longer selling them I have the Huawei p30 lite
If I bought it from India.... Can I use it Bangladesh ?
Cannot Android auto... +? I have p30 but only able to use usb to connect to Android auto
No Google services... trust me for someone in Europe will be very difficult (I'm fan of Huawei but don't know what to do so I but another mark)
Great review 👍
The speaker test make no sense a song recorded from the phone speaker played again throu the phone speaker and recorded to us to hear by the our phone speaker
We need to hear som no copyright sounds that have a great sound quality
how about vivo v30 pro 5G can you do review? Thanks
How much is the price
I want to the brand
The Lack of Google support can actually be a benefit, it just depends on how you look at it
Because so many people out there trying to de-google their phones
Especially now where google starts to inject bloatware to my phones through updates and starts to telling me what to do with my phone and all of the files in it.
Pls do reviw of base pura 70 model
This stole the top spot on DXO Mark, from their former sub-brand Honor's Magic 6 Pro. I'm intending on getting the latter though, for convenience reasons.
i like it, but the camera is not amazing enough compared to the competition.
Cool but why all the photos are yellow?
That's due to the RYYB sensor.
I hope huawei to get back google services they are amazing brand
Man this is beautiful ❤😢
I want Harmony OS - does this not?
International launches of huawei use emui all phones in China come with harmony os.
If this has google i will buy one
You can use Gms native with Microg that doesnt work are Google Pay and Google Assistant. You can even get Android Auto to work properly when a youtube review tested it. I dont like a virtual machine like Gbox for that something else. Tryed Google Fier vs Virtual Machine when i own P40 pro and i can save native Gms are alot better and now with Microg its alot easier and even works better so thats good. I dont play games on my phone so im sure i havent seen any difference in my use case and i only want a good camera and possibilities to get the apps im using daily.
Could you review xiaomi civi 4 pro,please?
Why haven't you reviewed find x7 ultra yet!?
the King IS back
GSMArena is pulling punches when it tries to excuse the lack of refresh rate variability.
