Huawei’s newest flagship smartphone is here.

The Pura 70 lineup has four variants: the 70, 70 Plus, 70 Pro, and the 70 Ultra. Hundreds of fans lined at Huawei stores across China as stock of the top-end models sold out, according to Reuters.

A resurgent Huawei has reportedly been developing its own advanced chips in spite of US sanctions, but we won’t know what secrets the Pura 70 hides until the first teardown.

<em>Here’s the front and rear of the Pura 70 Ultra. Each variant of the phone runs HarmonyOS 4.2.</em>

<em>The screen is also made with Huawei’s Kunlun glass, making it scratch and drop-resistant.</em>
<em>The battery is improved compared to the 4715 mAh rated on the previous Huawei P60 model. The P70 also supports 100W wired charging, 80W wireless charging, and 20W reverse charging.</em>
<em>It also includes Beidou satellite messaging, allowing users to send text and even picture messages, apparently, when they have no terrestrial connection.</em>
