Operating system

The Huawei Pura series (formerly the Ascend P series and P series) is a line of high-end and medium-range smartphones produced by Huawei, based on its proprietary HarmonyOS mobile operating system (Android-based prior to US sanctions and trade war in 2019). The P series was formerly marketed as part of Huawei's larger Ascend brand, and some models were called P smart.

Under the company's current[when?] hardware release cadence, Pura series phones are typically directed towards mainstream consumers as the company's flagship smartphones, refining and expanding upon technologies introduced in Mate series phablet devices (which are typically positioned towards early adopters). The Pura series has featured a strong emphasis on camera functionality; since 2016, and beginning with the Huawei P9, Huawei has been in a co-engineering partnership with the German optics manufacturer Leica.[2][3][4]

On April 15, 2024, Huawei rebranded its P series as the "Pura series", starting with the Pura 70.[5]

The Pura 70 has a 6.6-inch screen, and Pura 70 Pro, Pro and Ultra models offer quad-curved OLED screens with 1-120 Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and 300 Hz touch sampling rate.

The screen of the devices is protected with second-generation Kunlun glass. The standard Pura 70 has a 4900 mAh battery with 66 W wired charger, backward compatible. Pura 70 Pro and Pro have a 5050 mAh battery with 100 W wired charger, backward compatible, that is 80 W wireless-charging compatible. The Pura 70 Ultra has a 5200 mAh battery with 100 W wired charger, backward compatible, that is 80 W wireless-charging compatible.

The new processors are HiSilicon Kirin 9500S1 and Kirin 9010, a purely domestic Chinese development, used in the Pura 70 were noted for their performance relative to other competitors' processors, with analysts seeing them both as "a step backward"[30] in comparison with the "international" processors used in the 2023 Huawei P60, but also highlighting[31] that the "fact that Huawei persevered and produced the Kirin 9010 with the [US] trade ban in place is a miracle in its own right."[32][33]

According to news agency Reuters, all Pura 70 devices were out of stock at Huawei's official online store just a minute after their sale started on 18 April 2024, and hundreds of Huawei fans were said to have lined up at Huawei stores in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.[34] Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated in April 2024 that the Huawei Pura 70 series could conceivably increase sales compared to the preceding Huawei P60 series by a factor of 1.5, selling more than 10 million Pura smartphones in 2024.[35]

As of late 2024, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is the best camera phone in the world according to DXO Mark.[36]
