Xiaomi’s new 6mm UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank is so thin you might forget you’re carrying it

We have a complicated relationship with battery. For years, we’ve been locked in a silent compromise. We demand smartphones that are thinner, lighter, and more elegant, yet we carry the guilt of battery anxiety. Our solution? The portable power bank. But let’s be honest: for all their utility, traditional power banks are a burden. They are the bulky bricks we throw into a bag, tethered to our phones by a cable, ruining the sleek, unibody aesthetic we pay a premium for. We’ve spent the last week living with a device that feels less like an accessory and more like a liberation from that compromise: the new Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 . At first glance, the specs seem too good to be true. A 6mm thin profile? 98 grams light? 15W wireless charging? It sounds like marketing hype. But after putting it through the real-life tests, from cramped coffee shop tables to day-to-day use, I’d like to share with you the things that you should know about it. How Xiaomi made it s...

HUAWEI Pura 70 Ultra takes the #1 spot in DXOMark’s smartphone camera ranking

HUAWEI-Pura-70-Ultra-DXOMark-smartphone-camera-ranking

The HUAWEI Pura 70 Ultra has made an impressive entrance into the camera phone market, securing the top position in DXOMark’s rankings.

Scoring 163 points, it edged out the former leader, the HONOR Magic6 Pro, by a mere five points. It’s worth noting that HONOR was once a subsidiary of HUAWEI, and both companies continue to excel post-separation.

DXOMark praised the Pura 70 Ultra for its superior camera capabilities, affirming Huawei’s expertise in delivering high-quality smartphone photography experience. The device achieved an outstanding score of 169 in photography and 148 in video. Its performance was particularly strong across various critical aspects, such as color accuracy, exposure, bokeh effects, and noise handling.

The HUAWEI Pura 70 Ultra also performed exceptionally well in different lighting scenarios, including indoor, outdoor, and low light environments. It was highly rated in the ‘Friends & Family’ category, suggesting it’s an ideal choice for capturing important moments consistently well.

Testing highlighted the Pura 70 Ultra’s ability to maintain balanced exposure and contrast across diverse lighting situations, with HDR content displaying impressively on the screen. The device also boasts swift and precise autofocus, coupled with video stabilization that rivals the best in the industry. Additionally, the variable aperture feature was commended for its effectiveness.

While the camera experience with the Pura 70 Ultra is largely positive, some minor issues were noted by DXOMark. Video recordings showed some noise, and moving subjects occasionally resulted in ghosting effects. Despite these small criticisms, the overall test results are still positive about the device’s camera system.

For photography enthusiasts, the HUAWEI Pura 70 Ultra is as a top-tier option, even when considering the absence of Google Mobile Services. The camera’s capabilities can probably overshadow any potential compromises for users prioritizing photography above other features.

The full test report is available here for those interested in a more detailed analysis of the phone’s camera performance.
