HUAWEI has released two of its most lavish, non-foldable smartphones, the HUAWEI Mate 70 Pro Plus and the Mate 70 RS.
While they are essentially the same as the Mate 70 Pro in terms of specs, the HUAWEI Mate 70 Pro Plus and Mate 70 RS have a couple of extras to justify their price tags.
Let’s start with the Mate 70 Pro Plus. The rear panel uses gold threads and brocade fiber materials. HUAWEI claims the nylon material is durable and can handle drops. Plus, it’s reflective and exposes dazzling star rings when catches light.
It then has a titanium alloy frame that HUAWEI calls high-brightness basalt. It greatly improves the structure integrity of the device, making it scratch and drop-resistant.
Apart from the design, the Pro Plus model has a bigger 5,700mAh battery and faster reverse charging functionality (20W wireless, 18W wired). It also has additional RAM with the 16GB/512GB model retailing for CNY8,499 (~Php68,900) in China, while the 16GB/1TB is at CNY9,499 (~Php76,900).

It also got a better and bigger display. It’s a 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED screen that can have a peak brightness of 3,500 nits and is protected by a tougher-tempered Kunlun Glass. The rest of the specs are the same as the Mate 70 Pro Plus.
