Huawei Mate 70 Pro+ Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Huawei Mate 70 Pro+ - an innovative smartphone with a number of problems

The hero of today's review has become the most expensive representative of the updated line of flagships from the Chinese company Huawei. And the manufacturer, deprived of the opportunity to use Google services, the Android operating system and chipsets from American corporations, did everything possible to make the new product competitive. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned difficulties still affected the attractiveness of the final product for the target audience.

The appearance of the device definitely deserves praise. The front surface pleases with a truly frameless display with a barely noticeable dual selfie camera, the side frame is made of durable metal, and the rear glass panel can surprise with both attractive, as if drawn with a pencil, colors and a stylish block of photo modules. The 6.9-inch AMOLED panel does not have any disadvantages. The picture is extremely clear thanks to the resolution of 2832 x 1316 pixels, and its smoothness at a 120 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 4500 nits will please you. The developer tried to properly calibrate the color rendition and cover the glass with a high-quality oleophobic layer.

Perhaps, the main complaints of buyers will be attributed to the technical characteristics. Still, the new Kirin 9020 processor lags behind the top competitors in performance. Yes, the result in the AnTuTu benchmark significantly exceeds a million points, but truly resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact will still require a slight reduction in graphics settings. But the HarmonyOS interface functions very responsively, without the slightest lag. As for autonomy, a 5700 mAh battery is responsible for it. The capacity is enough for one and a half to two days of work with the phablet, and fast wired charging with a power of 100W is complemented by wireless charging at 80W. 512/1024 GB of built-in memory in UFS 4.0 format will help you not to remember the lack of a slot for MicroSD cards.

Photo capabilities are the strong point of the device. RYYB mesh filters let in 40-50% more light, so evening shots come out even more detailed. The main 50-megapixel sensor and 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom also received hybrid stabilization, thanks to which blurred objects will be a rarity. The wide-angle module of 40MP does not fall flat on its face, and a TOF sensor provides assistance to all of the above photo sensors. The stereo speakers are loud, but at the same time the bass is audible, the sound is pleasant and rich. NFC contactless payment, 5G network support, infrared port for controlling household appliances, water protection (IP68) and even communication via satellite communications add to the number of advantages, but a relatively weak CPU, a lack of Google services and a higher price tag may be serious obstacles to the gadget's commercial success.
