DXOMark: Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is currently the best camera phone in the world

Whether you love or hate the Huawei brand, you cannot deny the fact that Pura 70 has been a product that has stirred up the smartphone market, which has been somewhat quiet recently. This high-end smartphone line from Huawei has officially launched in China as well as launched in the international market. And although it no longer runs Google Mobile Services, the Pura 70 still makes its mark thanks to its novel design and powerful photography capabilities.

Indeed, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has just been listed by camera performance evaluation site DXOMark as the phone model with the best camera in the world at the present time. But obviously this is not really a surprise to those who are interested in Huawei and its flagship product lines in the past.

DxOMark rates the photography ability of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra at 163 points, 5 points higher than the second ranked name, Honor Magic 6 Pro, which is a sub-brand of the Chinese manufacturer. In addition, it should also be remembered that Apple's flagship smartphone model - iPhone 15 Pro Max - is currently ranked sixth in DXOMark's rankings and is 9 points behind Pura 70 Ultra.

Go deeper into the details. Huawei's flagship phone model achieved 169 points in both photography and 148 points for video recording. Testing showed excellent results when it came to exposure, color, noise, bokeh, as well as the ability to capture distant objects and the performance of the wide-angle camera.

Besides, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is also excellent when shooting outdoors, indoors and even in low light conditions. DXOMark evaluates Pura 70 Ultra as a device that can provide "unprecedented flexibility" in taking photos when it can produce beautiful photos in most situations and shooting environments, from low light, at night to backlight, in house or in a place with strong light. That means if you're looking for a phone that can consistently capture high-quality photos and videos in all environmental conditions, this is definitely a top contender.

Actual testing shows that the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra provides balanced exposure as well as optimal contrast in many different lighting conditions, along with the ability to display on the HDR screen also performed very well. The phone also has really fast and accurate autofocus, and the video stabilization is said to be 'impeccable', especially the way the aperture changes is really effective and reasonable. .

Overall, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra delivers superiority on almost every 'front'. However, there is still slight noise in the video and ghosting when you take photos with moving subjects. There are also some other minor issues with the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra camera, and the overall results and testing speak for themselves.

In short, Huawei has created one of the best smartphone cameras on the market and if you want a realistic photography experience. Sure, there are some trade-offs, such as the lack of Google mobile services, but if your goal is just to focus on photography, it's hard to pass up this phone.

The Pura 70 series is the new name of the P70 with four versions: Pura 70, Pura 70 Pro and Pro+ and Pura 70 Ultra. All four have a triangular design camera cluster and a new processor chip, Kirin 9010, manufactured on a 7 nm process. The most advanced version 70 Ultra uses a mechanical aperture adjustable lens and a 1-inch sensor. Currently only the Ultra model has the ability to send images via satellite.
