The Pura 70 Ultra, the newest flagship device from Huawei, has simply done the unthinkable: capturing the top camera rating by DxOMark, the industry’s hallmark of excellence for camera phones.
This puts Huawei right at the top of its competition, where mobile photography and imaging technologies are concerned.
DxOMark itself, which is the hallmark for camera rating, put the Pura 70 Ultra through a series of rigorous tests in different shooting scenarios.
It came out the top performer, outperforming the nearest competitor, Honor’s Magic6 Pro, by five points.
The Pura 70 Ultra’s camera prowess is highlighted by several key strengths that contributed to its exceptional rating:
- Unbeatable Versatility: From breathtaking landscapes in bright sunlight and candid moments indoors to low-light scenes, the Pura 70 Ultra always produces exceptional pictures that feel right in tune with the shooting conditions.
- Superior Image Quality: DxOMark praised how the camera delivered excellent images each time: exposure is just right, the colours are precise, and the autofocus is razor-sharp. Photos are lifelike and vibrant, with crisp details.
- Best-in-Class Zoom: The Pura 70 Ultra is setting new standards for smartphone zoom functionality. It gives users phenomenal image quality across the entire zoom range, with the ability to capture distant details in stunning clarity.
- Portrait Perfection: The combination of a fast and accurate autofocus system, in tandem with a variable aperture, enables users to shoot brilliant portraits. The camera manages a natural and visually appealing bokeh effect, where the subject is clearly demarcated from the background yet remains very sharp.
- Macro Marvel: The Pura 70 Ultra excels in close-up photography, clicking sharp and detailed macro shots that reveal minute textures of diminutive subjects.
While the Pura 70 Ultra excels in still photography, DxOMark noted potential drawbacks in video recording.
Users may experience some instability and loss of image detail, particularly in low-light conditions.
