Pure Harmony boasts five native advantages: Native Intelligence, Native Security, Native Interconnection, Native Refinement, and Native Smoothness. What experience advantages does the Huawei PURA70 series offer after upgrading to HarmonyOS NEXT?

1. Effortless Native Camera Access for Third-Party Apps, Eliminating Image Compression Woes

The Huawei PURA70 series, as an imaging flagship, stands out with its ultra-high-speed Flash Capture feature. This functionality, empowered by Huawei's pioneering XDMotion motion engine, enables the Huawei PURA70 Ultra to capture even ultra-high-speed moments of up to 300km/h, freezing dynamic beauty. In terms of hardware configuration, taking the Huawei PURA70 Pro as an example, its main camera employs a large 1/1.3-inch sensor and is equipped with the industry's largest F1.4 physical aperture, ensuring exceptional light intake. The telephoto camera features the industry's largest F2.1 aperture among periscope telephoto lenses, and both support ultra-high-speed Flash Capture. The Huawei PURA70 Pro's zoom capabilities are equally impressive, supporting up to 200x magnification, enabling clear capture of distant buildings and close-up details. The Huawei PURA70 Pro's new super-concentrated macro telephoto camera, featuring long-stroke sliding axis focusing, combined with its F2.1 large aperture, delivers outstanding light concentration and superior telephoto image quality, achieving ultra-clear imaging across all focal lengths.

In portrait photography, the Huawei PURA70 series has also undergone significant upgrades. The new version prioritizes optimized portrait performance, providing exceptional portrait photos in both backlit outdoor environments and the verdant beauty of early autumn. The enhanced portrait mode not only improves skin tone and texture but also incorporates industry-leading bokeh segmentation algorithms, ensuring precise segmentation down to individual hairs, achieving DSLR-level background blurring effects. This results in more prominent and layered bokeh and stronger blurring effects, perfectly complementing and highlighting the beauty of the subject.

In the past, to experience the aforementioned potent imaging capabilities of the Huawei PURA70 series, users had to open the native camera app. However, photographs captured through third-party apps like WeChat often experienced severe compression, resulting in extremely blurry images. This, in fact, is a prevalent issue across smartphones - the inability of apps to access the native camera.

With the advent of HarmonyOS NEXT, this situation has undergone a complete transformation. Thanks to Native Smoothness, the camera can continue shooting even when in the background, implying that native WeChat video recordings can now utilize the built-in camera app. As a result, the imaging prowess of the Huawei PURA70 series can fully manifest itself within the built-in cameras of WeChat, Douyin (TikTok), Xiaohongshu (RED), and other applications, eliminating image quality degradation. Users can leverage the phone's robust imaging capabilities to capture professional-grade works directly within apps and share them with friends and others.

2. Enhanced Overall Performance! Further Advancements in Battery Life and Smoothness

The Huawei PURA70 series has introduced the second generation of Kunlun Glass and Xuanwu Tempered Kunlun Glass, significantly enhancing the screen's drop and scratch resistance, making the entire phone more reliable in daily use. Building upon this foundation, the Huawei PURA70 series has upgraded the charging architecture, achieving a perfect balance between standby battery life, fast charging speeds, and overall thickness. For instance, the Huawei PURA70, with a compact 7.95mm thickness, houses a large 4900mAh battery and supports 66W wired super fast charging and 50W wireless super fast charging. The Huawei PURA70 Ultra, maintaining its 8.4mm thickness, boasts a 5200mAh battery upgrade, paired with 100W wired super fast charging and 80W wireless super fast charging, ensuring worry-free daily usage for users.

After upgrading to HarmonyOS NEXT, the user experience of the Huawei PURA70 series has been significantly enhanced. In terms of battery life, HarmonyOS NEXT has redefined the new standard of operating system smoothness, aiming to provide a "smoother, more stable, and more efficient" native smooth experience. Through deep integration of hardware, software, chips, and cloud services, HarmonyOS NEXT breaks through the limitations of computing power, achieving a 30% improvement in overall performance and an additional 56 minutes of battery life for a smooth experience.

Leveraging the new Huawei Ark Engine technology platform, HarmonyOS NEXT delivers a comprehensive smooth experience across the system, motion effects, games, and applications. It goes beyond simple speed; it emphasizes providing users with a natural sense of fluidity. With the assistance of HarmonyOS NEXT, the Huawei PURA70 series' smoothness has been further enhanced.

Furthermore, the Native Refinement design brings aesthetically pleasing and engaging new interaction methods, not only encompassing immersive Harmony Aesthetics design but also incorporating personalized themes and interaction modes, transforming the appearance of the operating system. The addition of Harmony lighting effects, immersive color schemes, and vivid gravitational motion effects, from the very moment users unlock their device, creates a strong sense of "refinement."

3. XiaoYi Transforms into a Smart Entity, Ready to Respond to Calls and Achieve Global Deployment

Under the influence of Native Intelligence, XiaoYi's smart capabilities within the Huawei PURA70 series have undergone remarkable evolution. System-level AI capabilities enhance the intelligence of applications themselves; the integration of the PanGu large-scale model transforms XiaoYi's smart entity into a system-level AI assistant, capable of perceiving scenarios, understanding needs, and providing more attentive service to users, improving the efficiency of resolving various issues. The innovative AI voice restoration technology further assists individuals with speech impairments in smooth communication, showcasing the humanistic care embedded in technology.

In the upgraded Huawei PURA70 series, XiaoYi's persistent navigation bar at the bottom enables XiaoYi's global availability.

XiaoYi's persistent presence at the bottom allows it to be activated at any time, providing direct answers based on the content displayed on the screen. For example, XiaoYi can recognize addresses on the screen and call up maps or ride-hailing apps.

HarmonyOS NEXT fundamentally breaks down the boundaries between applications and functionality, while XiaoYi serves as the connector, providing superior global services, further strengthening the Huawei PURA70 series' intelligent experience.

4. "Managing Permissions" Becomes "Managing Data," Your Privacy in Your Hands

Through HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei, through the restructuring of underlying technologies and experiences, has completely reshaped the operating system's security framework and order, introducing the new Xingdun (Star Shield) security architecture, providing comprehensive safeguards for the purity of the application ecosystem with end-to-end protection, safeguarding user security and privacy in a comprehensive manner.

For example, in the past, when taking photos or scanning within third-party apps like Alipay or Xiaohongshu, first-time use often triggered a pop-up window asking us whether to "allow the app to access the camera." However, after upgrading to the Huawei PURA70 series, when we click to shoot within a third-party app, the pop-up message changes to "Your camera is currently in viewfinder mode, but the app can only access completed images." In other words, HarmonyOS NEXT alters the entire logic of security control - shifting from "managing permissions" to a "managing data" privacy protection mode, providing a higher level of security assurance.
