AI Image Expand feature rolling out for Huawei Pura 70

After a long wait, the Standard Huawei Pura 70 is finally receiving the AI Image Expand feature update. Alongside the new picture editing tool, the company has also improved the system stability and security aspects of the flagship smartphone.

Huawei promised to bring the AI Image Expansion offering for standard Pura 70 models this month. Now the company has begun releasing the feature to limited users. But it won’t take much time to roll out the firmware on a broader spectrum.

The Standard Huawei Pura 70 is getting the AI Image Expand feature via HarmonyOS 4.2.0.176 version. Users need to ensure sufficient space as the firmware package weighs 1.10GB. We also suggest using a stable Wi-Fi connection for installation.

Pura 70 users will be able to access the AI Image Expand feature with the latest software version. The feature smartly detects the object in an image and enlarges it without degrading the visuals or picture quality. Thus, you get large and clearer shots.

To access the feature, select an image from the Gallery app. Now tap the Edit icon and click on the AI Image Retouch section. Tap the “Expand Image” feature.

Other than the editing tool, users will get the July 2024 security patch as well as optimizations for the sound experience in certain conditions. The company has also added the ‘smart multiple windows’ tool for some apps. They will eventually support horizontally floating windows on the home screen when required.

HarmonyOS 4.2.0.176 is a major update for the standard Pura 70 models but the company is also rolling out this version to other variants. If not received yet, you can check the update section of your device and install the latest firmware manually.

A few users might face network abnormality issues with the new build. It could be due to the self-optimization of the device system. Users can try restarting their phones or wait for a few days as it may get normal. If it doesn’t contact Huawei Consumer Service.
