Huawei just wrapped up a major launch event in China, unveiling the Nova 14 series and its first foldable PC. But the spotlight may soon shift to the company’s next big release: the Pura 80 series.
According to multiple leaks, the lineup will likely include three models — the standard Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, and a top-tier Pura 80 Ultra. Among the three, the Pro model is now said to feature a custom image sensor developed by Huawei itself.
Huawei Pura 80 Pro to use custom SmartSens sensor
A new report from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims the Pura 80 Pro will feature a custom image sensor developed by Huawei. Specifically, it may use the SmartSens SC5A0CS, a 50-megapixel, 1-inch RYYB sensor.
This is in contrast with the tipster’s earlier claim. DCS previously hinted that the Pura 80 Pro would come with a Sony IMX989 sensor. And seems like Huawei was indeed testing the Sony sensor in the engineering machine of the Pura 80 Pro a couple of months ago. But DCS says the company has changed the course while finalizing the hardware.
If Huawei has only swapped out the main sensor, the rest of the rear camera setup may remain unchanged from previous leaks. It is said to have a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto macro camera. And reportedly, all three sensors will use a custom RYYB color filter, which enhances low-light performance by increasing light intake by up to 40 percent.
Beyond the camera hardware, the Pura 80 Pro is also rumored to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and support for LTPO variable refresh rate.
The Huawei Pura 80 series is expected to launch sometime in the second quarter of this year.
