Huawei Mate 70 Pro review: Kirin 9020 + Ultra Aperture variable-f camera in Huawei's late-2024 flagship.
The variable-aperture Huawei flagship.
Mate 70 Pro doubles down on the Mate camera identity with a f/1.4-4.0 variable aperture main and a 48 MP 3.5× periscope. IP68/IP69 and 100 W wired/80 W wireless are flagship-tier. HarmonyOS and Google-free ecosystem remain the international barrier.
