Huawei has officially launched the Pura 80 Ultra in China, and it’s already making headlines over its impressive camera hardware. Among its various highlights, you get a triple camera setup with a 1-inch main sensor and the world’s first dual lens telephoto system. So let’s check it out.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra: The next big flagship camera smartphone?
The Chinese tech giant’s Pura series of flagship devices is known for their impressive cameras and the proprietary XMAGE tech, and the Pura 80 lineup is no different. But the top model, Pura 80 Ultra, takes things a step further with brand new camera hardware. The primary sensor is already quite noteworthy since it’s a 1-inch 50MP camera with a f/1.6-4 variable aperture.
But Huawei pairs with a 40MP ultra wide angle lens, a 1.5MP spectrum sensor, and a 50MP + 12.5MP dual periscope telephoto lens setup. This offers 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom. Huawei offers a moving telephoto lens that switches between the two periscope telephoto lenses (83mm and 212mm focal length, respectively). While this might sound similar to Xperia 1 VII’s setup, the Sony flagship offers optical zoom quality during its entire 85-170mm range (3.5x to 7.1x).
That’s not all, the 1-inch main shooter is a RYYB sensor for one of the best low light performances on any smartphone camera. On the front, the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra sports a 6.8-inch quad curved LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 3000 nits of peak brightness, and 1-120Hz variable refresh rate. While Huawei usually keeps hush about the chip details, we know that the Pura 80 series packs the Kirin 9020.
This processor is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. A sizeable 5,700mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 100W wired fast charging and 80W wireless fast charging. Other notable features include an IP68/69 rating for water and dust resistance, NFC, satellite connectivity, and Kulun glass for protection. Out of the box, it runs on the HarmonyOS NEXT
