What are your top three requirements for smartphones?

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 :)

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).

Watching this from my Huawei Nova 5t. That I've had since 2019. Battery life amazing! Camera. Quality amazing!

Great phone! I am asking my son to buy one for me. He’s currently traveling in China.

In Sweden, we cannot use Huawei after the first of June if you want a BankID that everyone must have to do most things when it comes to banking or connected authorities. That's how it goes when you have to dance to USA Pipe.

Im in the US and have been using Huawei since the P50 Pro was released. Just got my Pura 70 Ultra. This thing is a beast. All of the apps I need work and for everything else there is Gbox. (Drive, Maps, etc).

All my banking app, social media apps, smart home apps, securty camera apps works great. I just port it over using Phone Clone from my S22 Ultra.

Watching this from p20 pro, bought it from 2018 and still functioning good. I can't imagine how much of a beast is a Pura 70.

[parshakamarsh]

It is in China. That's their second biggest market and iPhone sales are dropping like a stone

[ninjanitechjeoftv]

Watching this review with my Pura 70 Ultra 🥰😂 it's has revolutionary photography, I really love it.. BTW great review as always 👌

[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.

4:44 said perfectly.
How many of us need 4^20 antutu benchmark..!
May be 5%

[Rubicon]

Still waiting for Huawei flagship phone to come to Malaysia 😢. Imagine US didn't ban Huawei.. they should be top selling phones by far now

[petewenzel]

Great video! I really hope you do more reviews of Huawei products going forward. They really seem to be back in the game.

My love for the Huawei’s new flagships is enormous.
Only God can tell the magnitude and later the size.
Big ups !

[gilleojax]

Great review ... Would love to check out the phone, especially because of the cameras. Unfortunately I won't be able to since I live in the States

[liangmarcus]

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.

[josejuja]

I live in the states and had a P40 pro. It.was perfectly useable with a few work arounds. I currently own a vivo x100 pro that i imported.

[diamondyogini]

I'm still using my Mate20 purchased in early 2019. Still loving my phone, no OS slowdown, have had constant OS updates even after 2 yrs. Had the motherboard (because I dropped my phone alot) and battery replaced last yr. One con from my personal use, no video stabilization in my Mate 20.

Seriously thinking of getting the Pura 70 pro.

Hi Mark, thank you for the detailed review of the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra. I found the photo quality to be sharp and clear, but I was somewhat disappointed by the jittery main video at 10:07
