Charging Test
Next, the Charging Head Network will test the Huawei Pura70 Pro+ mobile phone from the original factory charger, A/C cables, and third-party charging devices, simulating the user's daily charging scenarios to derive a better charging method.
Original Factory Charger Test
This test includes two types of original factory chargers with different interfaces, both paired with Huawei's original charging cables.
Using the matching Huawei 100W all-in-one charger set to charge the phone, the actual power input at the phone end is measured to be approximately 18.59V 4.99A 92.77W.Summarize the compatibility test data of various Huawei chargers for easy reference. The test results show that, except for a few very old models of chargers, the original chargers have excellent compatibility, enhancing the user's fast charging experience.
The bar chart part can clearly show the size of the charging power of each charger. Except for some older original chargers, the rest can reach the power limit of the charger itself, with the maximum charging power of the phone reaching about 92.77W.
A/C to C Cable Test
Next, let's take a look at the charging effect of Huawei's various series chargers with non-original fast charging cables. This test will use regular C to C fast charging cables and regular A to C fast charging cables.
Using the Huawei 100W all-in-one charger with PANDAER C2C cable to charge the phone, the actual power output at the charger end is measured at 18.55V 5.07A 94.12W.
Here, the charging data of Huawei chargers with non-original fast charging cables will be summarized for easy comparison and reference.From the bar chart section, it can also be more intuitively seen that the power gap between the original charger with the original cable and the non-original cable is relatively small, while the power gap will be significantly larger when matched with third-party cables.
Third-Party Charger Test
Sometimes, when we forget to bring the charger, we have to use a third-party charger to charge our mobile phone. Finally, let's take a look at the charging compatibility performance of the third-party charger with the third-party charging cable.
Using the Hangjia 45W charger to charge the mobile phone, the actual input power of the mobile phone is measured to be 8.19V 2.47A 20.24W.
The compatibility test data of the third-party charger with the original cable is summarized. The charging power of the third-party charging head for the Huawei Pura70 Pro+ mobile phone in this test is stable, and the charging voltage is mostly maintained at 9V, with only a very few maintained at 5V voltage.
The bar chart section can clearly show the size of the charging power of each charger. The charging power of the third-party chargers tested this time is very stable, maintained at 12W and 18W two types of charging power. In addition, there are chargers that support the SCP protocol, so the power is higher than that of ordinary third-party chargers, reaching about 20W.Full Charging Test
The Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ is the first in the Huawei Pura series to be equipped with a 100W charger. Below, we will test the performance of the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ with the original 100W charging head. After the phone's battery is completely depleted, place the phone and the original 100W charger in a constant temperature box at 25°C, connect the power supply, and record the data.
After connecting the power, the handshake voltage is 19V, and the power is stable at about 81W for the first 2 minutes; then the power drops to about 70W and continues to charge until the 5th minute; then the power drops to about 60W and continues to charge until the 6th minute; then the power drops to about 47W and continues to charge until the 7th minute; then the power drops sharply to about 19W and continues to charge until the 9th minute, which may be due to the body overheating protection, resulting in a sharp drop in power; then the power rises to about 42W and continues to charge until the 22nd minute; then the charging power continues to decline and continues until the end of the charging, and it takes about 38 minutes to fully charge. The front end is fully charged in about 30-35 minutes.
Draw a line chart, it can be clearly seen that using the original 100W charger to charge the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ to 50% takes 12 minutes; charging to 80% takes 22 minutes; and it takes about 38 minutes to fully charge.
Temperature Test
The heat generation of the phone during charging is a problem we need to pay attention to. Let's see how the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ controls the temperature during charging. The test is carried out in a constant temperature box at 25°C, and the temperature shooting time points are: 5 minutes of charging, 15 minutes of charging, and 30 minutes of charging.
5 minutes of chargingAfter 5 minutes of charging, the front side of the phone was photographed using a thermal imaging camera, with the highest temperature reaching 39.2°C.
After 5 minutes of charging, the back side of the phone was photographed using a thermal imaging camera, with the highest temperature reaching 41.7°C. The heat is mainly concentrated at the lower end of the camera and the internal battery terminal. At this time, the charging power is approximately 70W.
After 15 minutes of charging
After 15 minutes of charging, the front side of the phone was photographed using a thermal imaging camera, with the highest temperature reaching 40.5°C. At this time, the charging power is approximately 42W.
After 15 minutes of charging, the back side of the phone was photographed using a thermal imaging camera, with the highest temperature reaching 40.8°C.
After 30 minutes of chargingAfter charging for 30 minutes, the front of the phone was photographed using a thermal imaging camera, with the highest temperature reaching 35.1°C. Compared to before, there was a noticeable temperature drop, and at this time, the phone was in the trickle charging state, about to end the charging process.
After charging for 30 minutes, the back of the phone was photographed using a thermal imaging camera, with the highest temperature reaching 34.6°C.
By summarizing the temperature data, it can be seen that the overall temperature of the phone during the 30-minute charging process with the original 100W charger was between 34.6-41.7°C.
A bar chart can be drawn to show that during the charging process, the back temperature of the phone reached the highest around 41.7°C at the 5th minute; at the 15th minute, the front and back of the phone basically maintained at 40°C, and at the 30th minute, when the charging was about to end, the overall temperature of the phone had dropped to around 35°C.
Summary: Combined with the charging curve, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+, due to the high power input, basically maintained a state of about 40°C for the first 22 minutes during the charging process. At the end, the phone did not feel hot when touched due to the good heat dissipation of the body.
Charger Head Network Summary
For the theoretical hardware parameters of the Huawei Pura70 Pro+ mobile phone, users can directly check on the official mall; it still adds a lot of "black technology", such as carrying the Kirin 9010 chip, "wind vane" camera module, Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass, dual satellite communication, Star Flash connection, etc.In terms of charging performance, the Huawei Pura70 Pro+ smartphone supports 100W wired fast charging and comes with a 100W all-in-one charger kit as standard. In compatibility tests, the original charger demonstrates excellent compatibility. When the original charging cable is not available, third-party C-C cables can be used as an alternative. At the same time, the charging power for third-party chargers is capped at around 21W.
Additionally, the Huawei Pura70 Pro+ smartphone, when paired with the original 100W all-in-one charger kit, was tested for charging from 0-100% battery capacity. The phone charges 50% in 12 minutes, 80% in 22 minutes, and takes approximately 30-35 minutes to fully charge the front battery. The overall charging time is about 38 minutes, which is extremely fast. During the charging process, the maximum temperature of the phone is 41.7°C, which is only about 5°C higher than the average human body surface temperature.
Currently, the supply of the Pura70 series, including the Huawei Pura70 Pro+, is relatively tight. At the beginning of the sale, it is basically "hard to find a device." If you cannot secure one online, you might consider making a reservation offline.
