Huawei Pura 70 Pro

After several months of using the Huawei Pura 70 Pro as my daily driver, I'm happy to share my thoughts on this flagship smartphone. While initial impressions were positive, some concerns about performance and app availability lingered. But have these issues persisted, or has the phone continued to impress? In this review, I'll delve into the device's performance, app selection, camera capabilities, display quality, battery life, and more, sharing my verdict on whether it remains a top contender in its class.

Apple iPhone 12

The Apple iPhone 12 boasts an excellent OLED screen with great color accuracy and contrast. The device's design is sleek, durable, and water-resistant, making it a stylish and practical choice for users. The camera system delivers good quality photos, particularly in daylight conditions, although fine details can be smeared at times. The ultrawide camera performs well, but struggles with low detail in dark scenes. Portrait shots taken with the main camera are excellent, with true-to-life colors and superb contrast. The selfie camera takes great photos, even in low light, thanks to its night mode feature. Video capture is also impressive, with 4K footage from the main camera featuring true-to-life colors, good contrast, and dynamic range. Electronic stabilization is available on all cameras and resolutions. The iPhone 12's A14 Bionic chip provides lightning-fast performance, making it ideal for demanding users. The device also supports the latest iOS software, ensuring future-proofing. One of the notable drawbacks is the lack of a charger in the box, which can be seen as an inconvenience. Additionally, battery life takes a step back compared to its predecessor. The iPhone 12's design, camera capabilities, and performance make it a solid choice for users. However, some may find the lack of a high refresh rate on the OLED screen and the absence of a fingerprint reader as drawbacks. Considering the device's features and price point, it's an excellent option for those seeking a reliable smartphone experience. Despite its shortcomings, the iPhone 12 remains a worthwhile investment for many users. The device's elegant design, great camera capabilities, and lightning-fast performance make it a solid choice in the market.
