The cameras of the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra under review
Huawei has always been one of the brands that has put the most effort into the cameras of its mobile phones. It is enough to look back to remember smartphones like the Huawei P50 Pro with the best zoom seen to date or the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ from last year, which topped the DXOMark ranking for several months. Now, it’s the turn of the new Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and its impressive photographic quality offered by the following camera configuration:
- 50 MP main camera with 1-inch sensor and variable aperture of f/1.6.
- 40 MP ultra wide angle with stabilized sensor and f/2.2 aperture.
- 50 MP telephoto lens with OIS, f/2.1 aperture and 3.5x optical zoom.
- 13 MP front camera with f/2.2 aperture.
Once we know the different lenses that the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has, it is time to know their results. To do this we have based ourselves on the analysis of DXOMark, who has investigated these cameras and their quality in depth. This has led to the top of the range of the Chinese brand to first place of the platform above such emblematic phones as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, OPPO Find X7 Ultra or the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ itself. These are the positive aspects of the camera of the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra that ended up placing it on the podium:
- Perfectly balanced exposure and contrast in any lighting condition.
- Fast and accurate autofocus.
- Good video stabilization.
- The variable aperture allows you to adjust the depth of field to a professional level.
- The texture-to-noise ratio is very good under all conditions and zoom settings.
- Natural blur in portrait mode with precise isolation of the image subject.
- Photos with the telephoto lens at 3.5x zoom and f/2.1 aperture look good and have good sharpness.
What DXOMark experts say
According to DXOMark experts, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has performed exceptionally in all tests that have been carried out with their cameras. These highlight its ability to retain detail and the ability to reduce photo noise, as well as accurate exposure, wide dynamic range and natural colors. The rendering of textures has been greatly improved compared to previous models, while it has a brutal ability to offer very accurate skin tones even when there is little light. They also highlight the focus speed automatic in both static and moving scenes, in addition to the very fleeting shutter time that allows you to capture the key moment of the image.
The platform’s analysts assure that the cameras of the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra have given the best results of all the mobile phones tested to date, but when it came to record a video It’s not as good as taking photos. Video recordings have been tested with 4K resolution and 30 FPS mode, where the brand’s new mobile improves the performance of the previous Huawei Mate 60 Pro+; however, it cannot reach the two best mobiles in this field: iPhone 15 Pro Max and OPPO Find X7 Ultra. The tests reveal that the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra had problems when recording videos in low light due to the appearance of noise.
This is not enough to dethrone Huawei’s top of the range, which has taken the best DXOMark score through your camera. This has the highest rating for exposure, colors, autofocus, noise, bokeh effect, low light, telephoto and wide angle. It is true that its price of almost 1,500 euros may be exorbitant, but it is the price you have to pay to have in your hands a photographic and professional marvel like the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra.
