Android Auto and McDonald's app is not fully compatible with the phone model.

I am waiting for the mate 70 pro instead. It will contain an advanced 5 nm chipset and will have more performance as the mate series often performs better overall.

1500€ for something who can't rivaling snapdragon 8gen1 nop i can't afford it its too much money wasting

Mate 70 ,no fancy camera, just a good phone

Click bait!

For 1500€ i would never get this over the samsung!

I hate it that every nice phone, the focus of the review is the cameras😡😡

1500€ means in India no one will buy,,,Indian will select IPhone pro or Samsung s24 ultra

❤❤❤

This phone caught my attention, but I am not a photograph enthusiast, so I will probably pass this one. I am looking forward to the next generation of mate pro, though.
I wonder about the availability of Google maps, bank and government apps, etc

Does the gbox support rcs messaging?

Did u know techno phantom x2pro also had retractable lens

No 5g at that price point....very expensive paperweight in 2024. What a waste

Spyware/adware device

What the heck Flagship still Old OS Android 12 haha😂That price You can buy now IPhone or Samsung 😎

Android 12 😢

Sorry but why would you pay 1500€ for this? Yes the Camera is awesome but Android 12, no 5G, Google issue, no Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and so on...
S24 Ultra or even iPhone 15 Pro Max would be a much better option.

The vivo x100 pro makes more sense

Huawei impressive ❤ 👏

Bro pls bring the xperia 1 vi

How do you add the Google features?

At that price Apple or Samsung is the better if not BEST choices.

You should test new devices with cod warzone mobile. Since it uses a pc game engine, it should test these mobile devices to their absolute limit!

Hello 👋🏿 Nick. I'm from South Africa and I'm interested in buying a US or Chinese device. How will I know if the device is compatible with RSA network?

This man didn't show the magic with aperture cam, fast moving capture 🤦🏻

Why haven't you done the Honor Magic 6 Pro review?

It is not industry 1st retractable camera. Think about Tecno

1500$ phone running with 5 year old soc, no thanks

I upgrading from my mate 50 pro to Pura 70 Pro, Huawei made me keep spending money😮😮😮

Ok

Industry first retractable camera
Tecno x2 pro and samsung s4 zoom has left the chat

G box is an emulator. Not a basic google service.

14hours
22,467 ❤

LOL。who want to buy a phone with a CPU of 3years old inside this new phone.....

That camera 📸 looks like jet fan 😂

compare this with p60 pro please! camera comparison!!

Please compare Huawei Pura 70 ultra with Huawei mate 60 pro plus and the snapshot mode also 🙏

👍

There is an another way to install GMS in huawei... Gbox is not the solution for flagship...

Camera beast pura 70 pro

This phone is using older chip and still keeping up with modern day flagship in terms camera and software. Imagine if they get unbanned in few years💀💀

Why he talks like that 🤮

Was expecting a Sanpdrago 8 Gen 3 at that price, pixel 8 pro isn't at the the 8 Gen 3 level and so ALLOT lower priced

Watching Huawei device review on a western oriented channel like this is really a waste of time. All these reviewers are all agents in the anti-China propaganda war, they're paid to talk down on Chinese companies, most them are on payrolls of Apple and Samsung

Moving away from Google Services should be everyone's priority - monopoly is bad, and they're gradually not "open source" anymore.. Harmony feels new and refreshing.

Thats foldable phone pricing. Crazy

Video hasn't improved for Huawei💀

I would definitely consider it if it's $799! That's a big compliment because I usually won't pay more than $600 on my phones!

the perfeito

Damn, too much Yellow tint. Looks like you photos have hepatitis

This is the best iphone and Samsung killer phone, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra 😍😻

not the best only the camera is useable. 3rd party google service isn't the safest. just get an iPhone or other Android that bang for your buck.

ɪ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ᴡᴀɪᴛ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅʀᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇsᴛ 😁

How can i order one I'm in Ghana

An impressive review as always and an impressive phone.
I have heard that only 5G logo at the top screen is restricted, and the speed is the same as a 5G and it comes with 5G. I'm curious to BE shure if it's true or not.

i might be able to reconsider huawei for my upgrade i would hade love to stay with huawei but the lack of google service was a deel breaker weel not anymore

This or the Honor Magic 6 Pro? Seems like 8 gen 3 and lower price makes the honor a better phone? Or no?

1.500 euros for this ugly device? That big lens from the back is disgusting

just a reminder for those who use whatsapp on huawei phone. use the apk file from the original website or your device will get banned

Trump killed Huawei in the global market where they were flying HIGH, no Google services by default, people ain't spending €1400+ then having to do a work around for Google services.
No 5G, and a 7nm chipset.
Huawei just need to accept it's over.

great video

If Huawei was around all these four years , Samsung and Google would never have been able to create the insane Monopoly in the Europe and American market , that they have created , forcing the customers to buy almost the same device year after year with astronomically high prices , with no notable changes that can be considered worthy of their flagship pricing
💪💪💪💪

Bastard companies like Samsung and Apple joined hands to force the Trump administration to ban Huawei😢😢😢

because they were investing so much money in to the research and development of smartphones ,which ultimately would have benefited us, the end users 💪💪💪💪

imo pixel 8 pro or this are not flagship level in terms of performance, but most people wouldn't notice anything
Even the snapdragon 865 from 2020 it plenty enough for almost anyone even today

Android 12 ? What ??! How can this be, we're at version 14, with 15 being in early beta

Imagine if Huawei wasn't banned 🙂 crazy when I think about it. Best smartphone company in the world, and Honor is actually fantastic.

Flagship market is dead , we getting the same phone every year , upper midrange is the place to be atm

Waiting for you to test the battery life of Xperia 1vi phone the new phone from sony please

Blacklisted by US of America, due to nation security.but why promoting Huawei?😂😂😂😂😂 for likes and monies

The skin tones in the videos are horrible 😮

Awesome video. Please compare it to the Oppo find x7 ultra 🙏

Last words of your sentences are so disturbing. "I have ever uuused" "very claaaasyyy"

Awesome video, thanks for looking forward to the camera and batery comparisons

You're South African???

To be honest, even without considering high price, those camera samples look pretty disappointing.

Wait, so now any Google service works perfectly? What about Android Auto, Google pay, notifications etc? The price is too high though.

Hi,
how were you able to install google play?
MicroG? Thanks!

1500euro for the poor video performance + worse flagship processor this 3 years
Huawei has fall down for good

Os Huawei tem qualidade e também boa bateria dura bem

Your talking style is not natural. Try to be yourself

❤❤❤The Huawei Pura 70 ultra is a 5G phone. I have tested it and its connectivity speed is in fact better than all my other 5G phones. It is also a fully functional SATELLITE PHONE which can communicate with a satellite that is 32,000 miles above the earth's surface. The satellite technology of the Pura 70 ultra is light years ahead of the iPhone 15 max which can only send SOS sms via a satellite that is only 100 to 150 miles up. 😂

Are we ever going to see a time where a Huawei device is reviewed without Google Services being mentioned as some sort of deal breaker? Its been four years now and Huawei has already shown that they actually do not need Google to make great devices as they have already done and their customers know very well what they are getting with a Huawei device.

SO sad for this company, but huawei is getting worse if we talk about the camera at nighttime. How could you launch a new P Series device with a mediocre camera at nighttime? So gutted

Huawei today. Huawei tomorrow. Huawei forever ❤❤❤❤❤

While Samsung is 1250€, and Huawei is 1500 with some kids stating this is a solution for degoogled phone, I am seriously questioning the intelligence of individuals over this planet in recent years.
Outside of main camera, on which I can't bety pocket change it's better than what Samsung or Apple offers, I see no proper reasoning of getting a Huawei.
1. The kernel is old and insecure (for those who knows what's roaming around on dark web hacking forums they know this phone is a complete nightmare in regards to security).
2. Degoogle a Pixel or a Samsung device isn't a big deal, while from Chinese manufacturers, only OnePlus offers acces into the devices BIOS so you can actually modify something in it and be sure it's working while Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo and Oppo are locked and they treat their customers like apes. Like, i dunno... try yourself to plug a Samsung into a computer with ADB debugging active and see how many things you can be stripped from the bloated Samsung device... Any Samsung devices can be debloated and make looking and working exactly like a Pixel device for those of you who didn't knew.
3. The performance of this device is mediocre, be honest to yourself. If you saying "it's enough for what I do on my phone" I have to say that you're looking at the wrong price range first and foremost! Connect a dock to your Samsung to see how Samsung DEX is working, and you tell me than if you're good with that midrange performance on a 1500€ phone, LoL. The 800+ smartphones should be considered as laptop replacement for light work, but this Kirin chipset is more like a Chromebook replacement with an external monitor, mouse and keyboard solution.
4. For those with acces to 5G with proper coverage and speeds, I am asking, how would you feel with a smartphone which has Internet speeds of a 2018 device? This is 2024.. be realistic, please...
Nick, you should stop throwing propaganda onto your public, and be honest about this device. It's truly awesome what Huawei has achieved, but it's about twice as expensive as it should be.
Finally, in my humble opinion, this device is slow compared to any other flagship, fragile front screen (or even dumb choice of being completely exposed) construction and integration in the frame of it, locked BIOS of the device by which you can't modify or wipe the device memory and install a custom ROM, Harmony OS is not transparent but Android is unless you install Google Play Store with its Google services, and not counting other reasons, the price is unjustified. Literally... About 2x more expensive than it should have been for what offers.

This is the ugliest phone of this year.

The price may not justify the rather not efficient nor future proof 7nm chip that it sports and how any mechanically moving parts like a retractable lenses on a bar phone will shorten its lifespan tremendously…a hard sell for that price..my personal opinion

Another notable feature is esim support !! But it appears can only support one esim which is quite ok

you can never justify paying so much for any phone ... ... kudos for the review.. for a very long time I haven't seen someone put such a detailed effort into the display of cameras in all conditions. as well as about the phone itself .. well done !!

I believe i am ready to upgrade my P30 pro

Theres no justifying that price when you can get the S24 Ultra for much cheaper.

You have to try the battery and compare it with another cellphone. Waiting, thank you for the noisy review

all apps?? Andorid auto?

All style and no substance. Most flagships have great cameras. The manifold drawbacks are too dire to be ignored.

A chip 4 years behind the competition, heating issues and no 5G globally.

Add to that a 1500 price tag and this thing is pretty much DOA. The only thing it has is hype, and fairly unsubstantiated hype at that.

I remember having a mate 10 and it was a nice phone but at the price for this i can't justify the missing official Google support and no 5G

android 12 lol

Something's wrong. I'm sure the cameras will potentially be great with a firmware update or something, but yikes, a lot of those shots looked like something from a cheapo phone with a small image sensor, artificial and obviously from a phone, odd colours and off skin tones.

That said, I am not familiar with the locations or how challenging the lighting was at the time. The well lit daylight shots looked pretty decent, at least. Anyway, early days, looking forward to your group test.

1500 for a 2021 cpu.. pass

Have picked MicroG before Gbox before the last are virtuellt and native Gms with microg.

Really it's not worth it at all, old os android 12, performance to dollar is really bad.

The chip situation is even worse now. No snapdragon but still no 5g in global market. But still this phone is nuts.

I was able to get it new for 400 dollars now

If you can't figure out where the fingerprint sensor is without looking at the back of the device it sounds like a you problem not the phone's problem.

$1500 for gaming + photography + 8k/30fps + 144hz screen, a phone for enthusiasts... Hmmmmm.. another hmmmm.. Snapdragon 888 like the other flagship phones.. hmmm.. hmmmm... Hmmmmmmm.. 🤔🤔🤔
$1500 hmmmmm...

7:33 "google's portrait mode is also superior" (just pause and watch the images carefully)


i used to rely on these reviews, not anymore from now on. i could do a better review than this.

Great i want

Video is helpful for us

No such thing as too much phone. The more phone the better a lack of phone is what the modern phone is exactly. As ugly as it is this has more interesting features than any Samsung or One plus device within the last 5+ years.... This is a perfect representation of what major manufacturers should be doing.

This phone also has almost every single 4G and 5G Basebands...Surprised that wasn't mentioned seeing how no other phone has that.

Wow

It's number one on DXO - so there is that. Camera must be serious.

@engaget what is the name of the track in the background?

Great review

It coukdn't even outdo current ASUS phones. What the hell is this thing even?

Lol 1500 nvm

You hopefully smashed the lanterned fly

DxoMark just released their camera review of this phone running the newest updated camera software, and IT BEAT THE iPHONE 12 PRO MAX!! Highest score of ANY phone in the USA, and 5th highest globally! BOOM!

Not a good camera, not a good design, not a good battery life, not an unlocked bootloader, not any new differentiable feature still charging $1500 dollars who wants to burn money will buy this device for sure.

Why does it feel like Qualcomm is selling off their batch of engineering samples.......this phone (and its accessories) just don't look very polished

Horrendous non bodacious looking smartphone.

WHY

This phone pefectly captures qualcomm’s business model: pay us more because we are qualcomm. Not one thought given to value. Dated design for more money than other flagships means this won’t sell.

What's the AnTuTu benchmark, I'm curious

I would call this phone 'confused' becuase it doesn't have any concept to call it concept phone or it meant for mainstream power user group.. And ROG 5 beat this benchmarking.

Instead of teaming up with Samsung(arguably the Best Android phone maker in the market), they chose Lenovo to make their phone.

Please someone tell me why this deserves to be more expensive than pretty much every single flagship phone on sale right now.

👍

its look like rog 5

last minute design

This phone is bullshit. Fingerprint on the back??? REALLY? I still prefer mine s21 ultra! Is a lot of better phone.

ayyyyyo 1500$ only 🤧🚮

why do they give reviewers half baked devices?? what's with 'updates will make it better'??? companies should stop that 🤦🏿‍♂️

Summary: It's an overpriced piece of trash.

that hair dough hahaha

$1500?!? GTFOH

I had noticed no mention of display (real size review) is it 7.0, 6.9, 6.8, 6.4, it's a big phone doesn't cut it nor explain by resolution.

Need something close to 7.0 screens with a snapdragon 865 or better and able to connect to two or maybe three Bluetooth devices simultaneously. 😬

ROG 5 in disguise 👀👀 Sneaky move

Voice over makes me to not to leave from here.🥴

The 888 has been out for almost a year now surley this should have come out with its release if they wanted to show off this chip?

Also the camera bump looks lost to me it would have looked better either rotated 90° or centred in the middle of the phone.

Glad this phone doesnt have punch hole/notch😌

it's look like rog phone.

6:55 translate to: that's far too many promises that may or may not be delivered

Is it me or this phone is same as rog 5?

$1500 for an "enthusiast" "insider" device where you are not allowed to unlock the bootloader? Enthusiasts are going to want an unlocked bootloader to play around with the thing... This is DOA.

ya I dont understand this phone/package. besides the snapdragon sound feature, which would be cool to see in other phones, i dont see anything that this phone does better than other flagships with this SOC. plus a dated design like this is truly a missed opportunity.

so its ROG phone with changed back

If you buy this device you are kind of a moron at the price they're selling this for. The ROG phone itself is already this phone or better except for the camera perhaps.

If there isn't grunting at my gym, then I'm not there!

1500$ for a stupid camera

If I showed that out in public, people would straight away think it’s a cheap fake Samsung — they be like “what is that thing” 😂🌚

big and heavy, waste of money, 6 inch phone is comfrtable

Hey Cherlynn you were great I mean that was a fantastic and in depth review loved every bit .Vital information you shared will help most of us be decisive when it comes to purchasing the device .I heard that AMD is bringing ray tracing to Samsung devices that will be huge . Anyway love you guys at Engadget you do great job in reviewing these tech goodies .Cheers ya'll !

Honestly get some pleasant looking host/reviewer. No offense meant

Using oneplus 7t, sd 855+ still going strong

DONT BUY ASUS PHONE!!!! They're dicks!!!!!! They never provide android updates!!!!!

This phone looks basic as high hell. Gosh, even the ZenFone 8 had more personality.

How could the phone for SNAPDRAGON INSIDERS not have Qualcomms own under display fingerprint scanner LMAO

Currently using my pixel 4a with a snapdragon 730g. It's a mid range chip but honestly I never feel like I'm using a mid range chip. It's always feeling fast and snappy so I've come to realize mid range chips can do everything I want and need to do even with some gaming. So the top end best chips are cool but I know I don't need them

I love everything about this phone, except the lack of a headphone jack as I don't take a lot of photos. My problem with it is price. I see a place for this device, but we shouldn't be comparing it to others like those other companies have issues with their phones also.

they should have added 5 cameras

Great honest review

MY TYPE OF PHONE 👌❤️ I WILL BUY THIS PHONE ✨✨⭐

Sorry Asus your quality is very low. I'm not gonna buy again.
I bought one laptop dead now. Bught a mobile same year dead now.

Also SSI??? You means SDI??!

Hahaha what the hell is up with your hair!! 😂😂😂 omg no shame!

Great review! I wonder how it’ll be to play some Retro games on it…..

Generic phone

It'd go a long way if gadgets are cleaned before being filmed

Cant believes people pay 1k for a phone today

If this $1500 phone is supposed to make me excited for Snapdragon’s future, then ooof…

fugly phone and fugly design..i dunno what the effed is wrong with asus design? it just simply looks lame..

Wish this had a headphone jack, it'd be a truly perfect package.

hair messed up

Thank you for another great review!

not to be rude but why do you look like you just got out of bed? The top of your head is just a giant knot

This Phone looks Mesmerizing. Sometimes, I can buy it for most demanding activity that need good performance

Its not for sale to consumers right? Its for marketing to people who would buy their chipset?

i kinda miss the budget Asus phone

If this phone can be use desktop mode and Samsung music app, that would be awesome..

it's like zenfone 8 flip + Asus rog phone

PD-nim is ripped 😅

Cherlynn ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I only game on my phone ;D

Wow beautiful

I never seen a Asus phone in my life.. they look terrible like some kid design their products.. 💯🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Are we turning back to 2010
Multiple companies with multi ideology(like different os and spec in those days, now chips with different performance)

That back light is DOPE

Now we know
Software matter
