Huawei’s Pura70 Series Flagship: A Surprising Choice

With the large-scale release of the Huawei Pura70 series flagship, various evaluations have emerged. It must be said that this series has been quite surprising. Initially, many people didn’t have high expectations for this series because important upgrades are usually introduced in the Huawei Mate series flagship. However, this time it still brings some good news, including the Kirin 9010 processor and the retractable lens. However, it’s not all good news in the reviews of Huawei’s new flagship.

Regrettably, the performance of the Kirin 9010 is still not strong enough. It’s understandable that the Huawei Pura70 Ultra is priced a bit higher with the retractable lens, but the main model, Huawei Pura70 Pro, is awkward. Even without the retractable lens, it’s still not cheap, starting at 6,499 yuan. Its performance disadvantage is even more evident. However, this is actually the best level that Huawei has achieved so far. If you value performance and cost-effectiveness, you can choose the Honor flagship, which offers better performance at less than half the price, such as the Honor 90 GT.

When Huawei sold Honor, it was not only to protect the brand but also to keep an ace up its sleeve. They have been covertly helping Honor ever since. Although these two brands may appear separate now, they are the closest friendly competitors, with the goal of reaching the peak. Huawei continues to strive for breakthroughs through independent research and development, while Honor follows a cost-effective route. This not only compensates for Huawei’s current disadvantages but also provides consumers with more choices. The Honor 90 GT is a representative model of its high cost-effectiveness.

This Honor flagship is equipped with the Snapdragon 8Gen2 flagship processor, which is more powerful than the Kirin 9010. And for the majority of users, it’s already more than enough. As for the price of this phone, it’s not high. The standard version with 12GB+256GB was priced at only 2,599 yuan when it was released. Additionally, its top-of-the-line version even uses a combination of 24GB+1TB, which is the highest configuration in the industry, and is priced at only 3,699 yuan. Now, in order to improve cost-effectiveness, this Honor flagship has been discounted.

Moreover, Honor truly deserves to be the former sub-brand of Huawei. It also attaches great importance to independent research and development. For example, the Honor 90 GT not only has its own RF enhancement chip but also has an industry-leading Oasis Eye-Protection Display, which supports a 3840Hz ultra-high-frequency PWM dimming. Currently, Honor is the main contributor to the eye protection feature in domestic smartphones. Additionally, this flagship has a large 5000mAh battery and 100W fast charging. The rear camera is also equipped with the Sony IMX906 flagship main lens with optical image stabilization.

Now, this Honor flagship not only starts from around 2,225 yuan, but even its top-of-the-line version with 24GB+1TB is only priced at 3,217 yuan, less than half the price of the Huawei Pura70 Pro. So, consumers who value performance and cost-effectiveness can completely choose Honor. This is also the reason why Huawei, after overcoming its difficulties, did not rush to merge with Honor. Huawei is currently striving to improve its processor capabilities and elevate its brand status, but at the same time, it has left consumers with an alternative. This move is truly commendable.
