Huawei launched the Pura 70 series in April this year with a new Kirin chipset. In the latest news, a Huawei insider claimed that the shipment volume of the series increased by 125% year-on-year compared to the P60 series.

The news comes from market research firm TechInsights. The firm’s report states that the Mate 60 Pro’s shipments in China within 5 months from release were 6.2 million units. The report also predicted that the Pura 70 series shipments in 2024 will exceed 10 million units.

The Pura 70 series consists of four different models – the Pura 70, Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro+, and Pura 70 Ultra. While the Pura 70 is powered by the Kirin 9000S1, the other models are powered by the Kirin 9010 chip.

The base model offers a 6.6″ screen, while the other models come with a slightly larger 6.8″ screen. These are LTPO OLED panels with support for 1B colors that reach a peak brightness of 2500 nits. All of them come with an aluminum frame and offer an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.

Speaking of cameras, the main cameras of all three models come with variable aperture and OIS. The Pura 70, Pura 70 Pro, and Pura 70 Pro Plus equip a 1/1.3″ 50MP main sensor while the Ultra model packs a larger 1″ type sensor for the main camera. In addition to the main camera, the Pura 70 offers a 12MP 125mm periscope telephoto (5x) and a 13MP ultrawide. The Pro and Pro Plus model offers a 48MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom and a 12.5MP ultrawide. In contrast, the Pura 70 Ultra packs a 40MP ultrawide and a 50MP 3.5x telephoto.

Huawei Pura 70 series supports AI photo retouching, article summarization, and more

Debasish — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 05:05:32 +0000

The Huawei Pura 70 series was launched in China on April 18. The series reportedly offers a new 5nm chipset which is capable enough to support a couple of AI features such as AI photo retouching, article summarization, handwriting removal, table extraction, dialect recognition, and more.

Huawei Pura 70 series offers a couple of AI features

One of the key features of the AI photo retouching function is the removal of “disharmonious” elements from an image such as people in the background. The feature understands image semantics, removes distractions with one swipe, and fills the areas based on the surroundings with generative AI, just like some other flagships on the market. It also supports a cloud-based image enhancement feature that enhances image quality of a variety of images.

Another similar feature of the Pura 70 series powered by generative AI called “Xiaoyi Skin Care Q&A” where users can take a picture of a skincare product including the ingredients and share it with the Xiaoyi Assistant. The assistant will perform ingredient analysis and share the suitable skin type for the product and its efficacy details.

As mentioned before, the Xiaoyi Assistant can summarize articles and other documents. It can also translate the text in different languages.

Another feature of the Pura 70 series is “Smart vision” which can scan documents, remove handwriting, extract text and tables, etc.

The Huawei Pura 70 series comprises four models: the Huawei Pura 70, Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro+, and Pura 70 Ultra. While the Pura 70 Pro and Pura 70 Ultra have been available for sale since the launch day, the same wasn’t true for the Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+, which have now hit the shelves today.

Huawei Pura 70 series production issues might make Pro version difficult to buy

Soumyakanti — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 08:20:42 +0000

Huawei recently unveiled its upcoming Pura 70 series, replacing the popular P series. While the excitement builds, a new leak suggests production issues might cause stock shortages, particularly for the Pura 70 Pro.

Pro Version in Short Supply: Huawei Pura 70 Series Hit by Production Issues

On April 15th, Huawei’s official Weibo account started the promotional campaign by posting several teaser videos on the upcoming Pura series. Although the videos don’t tease the device yet but suggest the phones will be beautiful. Huawei’s CEO, Richard Yu, hinted at “good news” coming soon, suggesting an imminent launch.

However, insiders suggest production capacity struggles could lead to limited availability, particularly for the Pro and Ultra models. The information comes from Digital Chat Station claiming a significant mismatch between supply and demand for the Pura 70 lineup.

Offline distributors reportedly expect the standard Pura 70 and Pura 70 Pro+ to have the most stock. These models (deluxe edition) might even come bundled with perks like the FreeBuds 5 earbuds (check out our full review of FreeBuds 5). However, the Pura 70 Pro appears to be in short supply, potentially making it the most difficult to purchase at launch.

The situation gets even trickier for those eyeing the top-of-the-line Pura 70 Ultra. Sources suggest there might not even be an initial pre-order batch available, hinting at extremely limited quantities at launch.

As the launch nears, reports indicate some Huawei-authorized stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have begun “blind box reservations.” Distributors are unsure of the exact stocking time for offline stores, adding to the mystery. Leaks suggest a launch before the end of April, possibly as early as April 18th.

While the exact specifications remain under wraps, leaks suggest the Pura 70 series will boast 12GB to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, and a distinct triangular rear camera design. To delve into comprehensive details about the Pura 70 series, explore our explainer article.

Huawei Pura 70 Series Explained: Saying Goodbye to the P Series After 12 Years

Soumyakanti — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 09:54:12 +0000

Earlier today in a surprising move, Yu Chengdong (Richard Yu), the CEO of the Consumer BG at Huawei Technologies announced that the company is replacing its long-running P series of smartphones with a new series called Pura. The first phone in the new series will be the Pura 70. Huawei says they have been planning this renaming for at least five years, having applied for trademarks for “Pura” and “HUAWEI Pura” in 2019.

Farewell P series, Hello Huawei Pura

The P series was first launched in 2012 with the P1 and has a history of 12 years. Aesthetics and imaging have always been major features of the P series. According to the company, the Pura series will continue to focus in terms of imaging and aesthetics.

There has been intense discussion among netizens about how to pronounce “Pura.” According to reports, “Pura” means pure or beautiful in Spanish, pronounced as “piu rua.” Some netizens have directly given the new series a minimalist name, “beautiful,” which matches both the pronunciation and the meaning of “Pura”.

Pura 70 Lineup (Expected)

While details from Huawei themselves remain scarce, reliable leaks suggest the first iteration of the Pura series will have four smartphones:

Huawei Pura 70
Huawei Pura 70 Pro
Huawei Pura 70 Pro+
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra

The Ultra version is speculated to be the successor to the P series’ Art Edition, boasting the same configuration as the Pro+ model but with an enhanced design. The Pro and Pro+ models are expected to have key differences in battery life and camera capabilities.

Early Speculations on Memory, Colors, and Design

Tipster Digital Chat Station has shed some light on the potential configurations and color options for the upcoming Pura smartphones. Here’s a breakdown of what we know so far:

Pura 70: 12GB RAM + 512GB storage, available in Ice Crystal Blue, Feather Black, Snowy White, and Sakura Rose Red.

Pura 70 Pro: 12GB RAM with either 512GB or 1TB storage, offered in Snowy White, Roland Purple, and Feather Black.

Pura 70 Pro+: 16GB RAM with either 512GB or 1TB storage, with color options including Light Woven Silver, String White, and Phantom Black. The leaks also mention a special “Deluxe Edition” but with no specifics on its design or features.

Pura 70 Ultra: 16GB RAM with 1TB storage, available in Ceramic White and Ceramic Black finishes.

Based on Huawei’s official announcement video, the Pura 70 series is likely to feature a distinct triangular camera island on the rear, housing a triple-camera setup with a “one large, two small” camera configuration alongside an LED flash.

The Pura 70 Series Nears Launch

With offline stores reportedly completing distribution of the Pura 70 series, the official launch seems imminent. Speculations suggest a release no later than the end of April. Huawei has not provided an official confirmation of the launch date yet.

Rumors suggest the Pura 70 series might be part of the “Pioneer Program,” similar to the Huawei Mate 60 series. This program allows early adopters to reserve their preferred models before the official launch.

Considering Huawei’s usual launch time slots of 10:08 AM, 12:08 PM, and 6:08 PM, users can stay tuned to the Huawei Mall during these times for potential purchase options.

What to Expect from the Pura 70 Series

While concrete details are yet to be revealed by Huawei, here’s a compilation of the rumors and expectations surrounding the Pura 70 series:

Powerful Performance: The Pura 70 series is expected to be powered by Huawei’s self-developed Kirin 9000 series chip, ensuring top-notch performance.

5G Connectivity: The series is likely to support 5G networks along with satellite communication technology.

High-Density Battery and Wireless Charging: Long battery life and convenient wireless charging capabilities are anticipated.

Advanced Camera System: The triangular camera island hints at a promising camera system, possibly featuring a 50MP ultra-large main camera, a periscope telephoto lens, and potentially even satellite communication technology.

A New Chapter for Huawei

With a new name signifying purity and beauty, Huawei is setting the stage for a renewed focus on design and cutting-edge technology. While details remain under wraps, the leaks and rumors paint a picture of a powerful and innovative smartphone series.

With the official launch expected soon, the wait to see what the Pura 70 series truly offers won’t be much longer.

With the official launch presumably just around the corner, we can expect more details about the Pura 70 series’ specs, pricing, and availability to surface soon.
