Is the iPhone in TROUBLE? Huawei Pura 70 Ultra Review

[@MarkEllisReviews]

What are your top three requirements for smartphones?

[@DobuDobuDobuDot]

1. A working app-store 2. Not having the Chinese government know my every move 3. No bloatware. Think this phone would be for me?

without the sanction, Huawei would have been by far the top brand all over the world, I used P40 and I know how good this company is, I'm still using their watch and headset :)

[@Lion_Hamza]

Let's disect what you just said. You claimed Huawei would have long taken over by now if not stopped by the US. I bought the mate 20 Pro when the Huawei hype was starting to blow up. At first, i was very impressed with the device. It had many things the iPhone at the time did not have. Fast charging, display fingerprint reader, Face ID with dedicated sensor, and so on. But the big issue with all Chinese phones is the software. They can't make it right. There is too much bloatware, if not bloatware it looks half-baked and not thought out. The Software experience on samsung mobiles or iPhones is miles ahead. And last but not least do you trust the chinese government?

[@hussamghrayeb3565]

@Grim_Azrael I don't trust any government to be honest specially American, to be honest my experience was awesome and there are many things I miss in Huawei, but now I'm using Samsung cause I couldn't live without the Android

[@ex0duzz]

Thats a long time ago, ie bad software. Now they are developing their own as a priority and not as an afterthought. Just look at we chat or tiktok or xiaomi and their electric cars etc, the software is getting a lot better and is better than west if you know how to read Chinese and use in China. And have you any evidence of Chinese software spying? Because Snowden showed us USA has rooted and spied on everything. But let's assume they do spy and do the same as usa. So what? If you live in the west, what can Chinese gov do to you? Chinese gov can't force your gov to do anything, but USA can kidnap you or just straight up make your gov send you to USA on false charges. Just see assange. Even worse if you live in 5 eyes country who all spy on each other and share the info and they are basically all vassal states of USA. Id rather china gov or Chinese companies spy on me and USA and west doesn't than the other way around. I don't fear Chinese gov spying on me but I do fear USA and my own government(5 eyes). Chinese companies can't be forced to hand over all my info to my government or USA gov. that's a bonus for me. If you prefer your own gov spying on you and think that's safer then ok. But I can talk shit about my gov in West and they can't touch me. I can talk shit about Chinese gov and they can't censor or touch me either. So best of both worlds.

Coming from an ex iPhone user, I must say that HUAWEI is, by far, THE IT brand when it comes to mobile phone camera photography and functionalities. Sanctions? No Google services? What? We used to live without Google many many years ago - there are always side-loads that you can find out there. Huawei was "slammed to a point of no return" by "the forces that be" and yet, they still come out stronger than before! iPhone killer? Well, YES! yet to buy the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra coz I'm still using my back-then jaw-dropping Huawei P30 Pro (which survived countless of drops on hard surfaces and in water and it still LIVES).

[@Azurie-e9s]

Im still using p30 pro, first huawei phone, Im really loving it in everyway, maybe next year Im gonna buy a new one, I really hope the next p30 pro like, pura? wont disappoint as well

[@Raymond-h1s]

I have enjoyed and not enjoyed many phones. The problem is the Apps. Not the phones. The Apps make or break a phone. And if you are not fluent in the app's language, you are doomed. And will eventually walk away from that brand. I have owned 2 Huawei, 4 Apple, 4 Samsung, 2 OPPO, Motorola, and other phone brands. And the best Apps is Apple. I just bought a Huawei Pura Ultra 1TB here in China. I want it to work well as the cost is getting up there. My wife is going to the Mall now to buy a Pura Ultra. I wish for the best. I do not believe in the Bi or Tri-folds at this time. The screens will fail. I am sure of that. They have an optional warranty you can buy. So only 1 replacement in one year. Maybe different in your location.

It is very common for people in China to have two mobile phones. For example, one for personal use, one for work, one for gaming, one for photography, one for internet browsing, and one for watching movies. You can customize these combinations based on your own needs and preferences.

[@PeteSinHouston]

Give Huawei another 3-years and they will overcome all sanctions to produce at 3nm chip fully domestically and will have the best networking (5g / 6g), performance and AI on the market. It will be the most powerful phone / hand held device in the world.

Good Review. I live in China, and I have 3 phones: a Xiaomi 14 Ultra, a Huawei 70 Pura Pro Plus, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I find them all very similar in Photos. Just a little difference in colors then grainy or too soft. All of the phones do a good job. I find that Huawei is better at taking action shots and Macro Shots. I was at the Huawei Store today in Dongguan, trying to find the Tri-Fold pho ne. None there. So, I was comparing the specs on the Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro Plus, and the Pura 70 Ultra. The store manager told me that the best buy for the buck was the Pura 70 Pro Plus. There are discounts on the Pura phones now. Now getting the apps I like is often difficult or not available. ie. Google apps. I was trying to get some of the apps in Hong Kong. The next item to buy here is the BYD Denza Z9 GT.
