Anton .el PAPI., 02 May 2024Ah,ok I'm a Bluetooth speakerphile.
I am not trying to be rude.
Huawei with their luxury price tags, should go all out!!!!
Not only cameras, software and hardware also!!!!
Bluetooth codecs are important for some people.
I'm one of them.

          MiksuMasterJBL, 02 May 2024I must say this and I bet I'm not the only one here. ... moreThat codecs got something to do with US technologies. Huawei dont allowed to use it sadly. If u aware, before the sanction, Huawei phones got the AptX codec, then they ditch it because no approval given.

            MiksuMasterJBL, 02 May 2024I must say this and I bet I'm not the only one here. ... moreDamn, that's alotta codecs for the X100 Ultra

              MacDonks, 02 May 2024No, because there's no 5G support for Global versionHold up, they disabled 5G bands to make it 4G for global?

                what about android auto? i guess that won't work without gms even if you hack it in

                  Looks very good! For 1500EUR it will be fine.

                        If they launch it at 1,200 for the 16/512l version they will sell like hotcakes

                            Gsmarena, as some phones (especially S23 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and iPhones) produce a lot of machine learning fake detail when you zoom, it is necessary that you show us some reference images (for example with a dedicated camera with Bayer sensor or from a lower distance), so we can check which details are true.

                              According to the exif data, Huawei again uses a 27mm crop at 1x.

                                I must say this and I bet I'm not the only one here.
                                I love Bluetooth speakers and I really want a phone that has very good cameras, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra looks amazing, but it's missing Bluetooth codecs.
                                Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is near perfect, but missing Bluetooth codecs makes the phone useless to me.

                                Vivo X100 Ultra will have all Bluetooth codecs and very good cameras/ Top tier cameras.

                                Vivo X100 Ultra will have SBC, AAC, LC3, APTX, APTX Adaptive, APTX HD, APTX Lossless, LDAC and LHDC Bluetooth codecs.

                                Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has only SBC, AAC, LDAC and L2HC Bluetooth codecs.
                                That's bad.

                                APTX Lossless Bluetooth speakers are coming soon.
                                I need a phone with APTX Lossless.

                                  Huawei nails it again. The design, display, the camera and battery. I'd buy one if I could, but for the lack of GMS, it's sad to put this one as an option only. Xiaomi 14 Ultra, on the other hand, with GMS, amazing build quality and amazing processor, is also a deal-breaker for its price and performance. But I'm just not a fan of its camera module design. Huawei wins the design and camera but loses to Xiaomi's performance and Play services.

                                    Shui8, 02 May 2024Its since the Leica's days. They decide main shooter f... moreThey should've just made the phone — and with it the camera bump — thicker and had a 27mm lens while not bothering with all this retractable lens crap.

                                        These shots are pure HDR puke. Have someone seen shadows on them? Whats up with nuclear green grass on each and every shot? Tone mapping induced high frequency sharpness is so 2003. Take a look at the water ripples its headache inducing. And it's overexposing all over the place.

                                        This is garbage.
