Huawei Pura 70 Pro teardown reveals minor differences to Ultra

Huawei has expanded the availability of the Pura 70 series to global markets today, and now we also get to see the Pro model’s disaambly.

The popular YouTube channel WekiHome recently conducted a teardown of both the Pura 70 Pro and the Pura 70 Ultra. The teardown revealed that the phones have very similar internal architecture, with only some minor differences.

One significant change Huawei made to the Pro model is swapping the positions of the main camera and the telephoto lens. This adjustment was made because the sensor does not require as much space.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ vs. Redmi Note 13 Pro

The dilemma between the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ and the non-plus Pro from the same family is likely a common one. Not only do these devices offer similar hardware, but the price gap isn’t huge either.

When it comes to software and overall user experience, it’s hard to tell the difference. But the 13 Pro+ sits above the Pro with a more flagship-like design (curved front and back panels), better build and snappier hardware. On the other hand, the 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ are more alike than not – same display, battery capacity, cameras and speakers.

So if you find yourself in that conundrum,…

Amazfit Helio Ring pricing and US release date officially announced

Back in January at CES, Amazfit unveiled the Helio Ring, a wearable that’s apparently aimed at athletes and is said to work best with an Amazfit smartwatch – that’s an interesting proposition, seeing as how most people would probably look at a smart ring as a replacement for a smartwatch.

The Helio Ring is now almost ready to finally become available in the US. It will go on sale on May 15 for $299.99, and will also be offered as part of a bundle with either the Amazfit Cheetah Pro or the Amazfit T-Rex Ultra. When you get it as part of such a bundle, it only costs $149.99.
