DarlingYext, 18 Apr 2024"158*73 is not just too big, it's giant." ... moreIt is giant, as it's close to 160x75. It is a huge snow shovel. And it is a phablet, not a phone. iPhone 15 Pro and Galaxy S24 are 147x71. And those are somewhat normal size.

    Vin Aigre, 18 Apr 2024You can notice that they did some progress. It could be ... moreThey did not make any progress. It's still huge shovel around 160x74 mm. Those 2 mm do not make any difference. 6-7 mm off each side would make real difference.

      Jeez, CNY 9000? That's $2,000 in real converted prices if the phone were to go international.

      Big storage markups as always.

      Anyways, these phones could be interesting to see tested. I want to see how the performance and cameras fare.

        Finaly an ultra premium phones without ultra prenmium pricing.

          SMYasir, 18 Apr 2024you don't want Google services on your phone ? how ... moreI do not want google anymore.

          Few years ago I was thinking the same and now I think it's much better without.

          For the updates I use APK Pure and it works well.

            Vin Aigre, 18 Apr 2024No thanks.you don't want Google services on your phone ?

            how are you going to get all the apps that are regularly used?

            Huawei store is no where as good as Google, i say this as a major supporter of Chinese tech

              Vin Aigre, 18 Apr 20241TB is not enough?Not for me, I already have 1.5TB full on my phone

                Just waiting for :

                1. Faster SoC (Kirin 9010 is really not even as fast as SD 888)
                2. More bands / network coverage
                3. Better price (1200 for 16G/1TB is not competitive)

                Camera is again killer. Hope Huawei manages a comeback despite all the silly sanctions.

                  regs, 18 Apr 2024I'm so dissappointed with P70. 158*73 is not just too ... moreYou can notice that they did some progress.

                  It could be smaller but maybe they will be not able to put the same components even if the battery is smaller.

                  I am curious to hear the specialists about this.

                    SMYasir, 18 Apr 2024Google services lolNo thanks.

                      regs, 18 Apr 2024I'm so dissappointed with P70. 158*73 is not just too ... more"158*73 is not just too big, it's giant."

                      It's basically standard, and it's probably the smallest phone with a 6.6 inch display. No way I'd call it giant, the vivo X Note is giant, from my point of view it's actually quite small, but it's at maximum big.

                        I'm so dissappointed with P70. 158*73 is not just too big, it's giant. Huawei decided to ignore its clients and go the way of HTC and Meizu. They've been told years and years that this is not what their customers want, but looks like Huawei management doesn't care much of their smartphone business anymore.
                        And at this point P70 Pro will flop just as P60 Pro did. There was little difference in capabilities and price.
                        At this point Huawei CEO SHOULD step in now and make a promise to make P70 compact with all same hardware as P70, but size under 147x70 and just smaller battery.

                            YUKI93, 18 Apr 2024But then again, only Huawei utilized the NM card and they s... moreThey invented their own nm card as they didn't want to pay taxes on micro sd.. and huawei didn't want to be part of SDA (The SD Association (SDA) is an American nonprofit organization that sets standards for the SD memory card format. SanDisk, Panasonic (Matsushita), and Toshiba formed the SD Association in January 2000.

                            You can hapilly buy nm card reader to normal usb.. and use it in PC/laptop..

                                  Aierlan, 18 Apr 2024Of course not. They can only get SMIC to make them. Huawei ... moreUnfortunately, US doesn't believe in fair competition and are still blocking SMIC from purchasing an EUV lithography machine from ASML.

                                      These are really beautiful phones. Hoping to see them go international

Huawei would have no problem designing a chip to beat the 8 Gen 2 but they can't get it manufactured as SMIC is the only company they can go to for manufacture
