The Huawei Pura 70 Pro Plus (stylized as Pura 70 Pro+) stands as a luxury-focused flagship that elevates premium mobile tech with distinct artistic styling, elite performance configurations, and enhanced physical resilience. Entering the South African market at a starting price of roughly ZAR 15,000, it hits a highly attractive sweet spot for users looking for top-tier camera hardware, extra memory overhead, and unique aesthetics.

Because final pricing can shift slightly based on localized stock availability, specialized retail promotions, or monthly cellular contract upgrade options, it pays to check a few different channels.

Where to Buy the Pura 70 Pro Plus in South Africa

The device benefits from Huawei’s deep national distribution network, making it highly accessible across major digital platforms, retail centers, and mobile operators:

Online Platforms & Tech Retailers: Takealot, Hi Online, HiFi Corp, and Cellucity.
National Department Stores & Hypermarkets: Makro, Game, Foschini, Mr Price, PEP, and Ackermans.
Mobile Networks & Cellular Outlets: MTN, Chatz, and 4U.

What Makes the Pura 70 Pro Plus Stand Out?

The “Pro Plus” moniker introduces several crucial upgrades over the standard Pro model, refining both the interior hardware and the exterior durability.

1. Distinct Luxury Plaid Design & Basalt Kunlun Glass

Visually, the Pura 70 Pro Plus sets itself apart with a premium rear panel featuring a subtle, woven satin plaid pattern that catches the light beautifully. Turn it over, and the immersive 6.8-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED curved screen gets a major defense upgrade. It is shielded by 2nd-Generation Basalt-Tempered Kunlun Glass, which utilizes advanced material science to radically boost drop resistance and scratch protection compared to standard glass.

2. Upgraded 16 GB RAM Performance Backbone

While standard flagships often max out at 12 GB, the Pro Plus builds a massive multitasking runway by shipping with a generous 16 GB of RAM paired with 512 GB of high-speed on-board storage. Driven by a powerful Kirin processor, this extra memory overhead keeps background apps locked in place and ensures ultra-smooth frame rates during high-end 3D gaming, 4K video rendering, and heavy AI camera tasks.

3. Professional Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto

The camera setup remains a masterpiece of mobile photography, anchored in a distinct geometric layout. It features a 50 MP Ultra Lighting main camera backed by an $f/1.4$ to $f/4.0$ physically variable aperture and hardware Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Accompanying it is the acclaimed 48 MP Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto lens ( $f/2.1$ , OIS). This lens offers crisp zoom profiles alongside a specialized macro mode that can focus clearly on tiny objects just 5 cm away, capturing hidden, intricate textures.

4. Blistering 100W Wired & 80W Wireless SuperCharge

To keep power anxiety completely at bay, the phone runs on a robust 5050 mAh battery. Refueling is incredibly rapid: it supports both 100W wired SuperCharge and a staggering 80W wireless SuperCharge. If you are running out the door, a brief 10-minute charge restores a massive chunk of your battery capacity. The chassis is also tightly sealed, carrying a full IP68 dust and water resistance rating.

Ecosystem Note: The Pura 70 Pro Plus runs on Huawei’s fast, fluid EMUI platform backed by Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). While standard Google Play Services are not pre-installed, downloading, installing, and managing everyday necessities like WhatsApp, local South African banking applications, and mainstream social media apps is incredibly streamlined using the Huawei AppGallery alongside native compatibility utilities like MicroG or GBox.
