Have you ever wondered what the “P” in the Huawei P series stood for? Today, the Chinese smartphone maker is taking out the mystery for good. In lieu of simply launching a P70 series, Huawei has launched the newly renamed Pura 70 series in China.

The camera evolution continues

As is tradition, the Pura 70 series packs in the best camera system from Huawei. The series, separated into four varying models, will feature unique specs such as a retractable lens, boosting both zooming capabilities and image stabilization.

Now, the 1-inch sensor comes with an f/2.1 aperture and can take in a lot of light. It also shoots at 35x super macro.

As the pack’s leader, the Ultra comes with the retractable lens, tested for up to 300,000 contractions. It is also IP68-rated for more durability. It has a sizable f/1.6 aperture and a mechanism to maximize image stabilization.

Finally, with XD Motion, the camera can reportedly capture subjects going up to 300km/h. The macro sensor, on the other hand, can capture images at least 5cm close. A heightened HDR keeps videos crisp and clear.

Also good under the hood

Meanwhile, the lineup’s chipset is the next evolution of Huawei’s Kirin line. The processors are reportedly inching closer and closer to the current slate of modern flagships today. It marks the brand’s next step in jumping back to the top of the Android food chain. It comes with up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB of storage.

The display puts out images at 460ppi, 2500nits of brightness, and up to 120Hz refresh rate. Kunlun glass keeps the screen protected, too.

Much like Apple’s Emergency SOS, the Pura 70 series will come with its own satellite connectivity service, powered by Beidou. Plus, in areas with low coverage, a Lingxi antenna will ensure that calls won’t be dropped.

Out of the box, it comes with HarmonyOS 4.2, which touts more interactive features like a heavily customizable lock screen.

Finally, it will have a battery going up to 5200mAh. It also touts 100W wired charging and 80W wireless fast charging.
