Huawei Pura 80 Ultra: The Phone That Takes Amazing Photos

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra

Chinese phone maker Huawei just released the newest phone called the Pura 80 Ultra. This phone is all about taking great pictures. Usually, Huawei only sells phones in China, but this time the company is all set to bring this phone to other countries too.

What Makes This Phone Special?

The Pura 80 Ultra isn’t the fastest phone you can buy, but it has something no other phone has. It’s the first phone in the world with two zoom cameras stacked on top of each other. Pretty cool, right?

You’ll also notice this phone looks different. It has a triangle-shaped camera bump on the back that really stands out.

The Camera System

The camera is where this phone really shines. Here’s what you get:

Main camera: 50MP with a huge 1-inch sensor
Wide-angle camera: 40MP for those group shots
Color helper: 1.5MP sensor that makes colors look better
Zoom camera: 50MP telephoto lens (the biggest on any phone)

The zoom camera is the real star here. It can zoom in 3.7 times without losing quality. But here’s the fun part – it also has a motorized periscope that gives you 9.7 times zoom. That’s almost as good as Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, which zooms 10 times, but Huawei uses a much bigger camera sensor.

What’s Inside?

Huawei didn’t say which processor powers this phone, but experts think it’s their own Kirin 9020 chip. The screen is 6.8 inches, super bright (3,000 nits), and refreshes 120 times per second for smooth scrolling.

Different Versions

Here’s where it gets interesting. If you buy this phone in China, you get:

5G internet
Satellite connectivity
HarmonyOS 5.1 (Huawei’s own system)
5,700mAh battery

Both versions come with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage space.

Cool Features

The phone has a new “AI Smart Controls” button that lets you quickly access things like:

AI camera features
Flashlight
Camera app

What’s really neat is this button also works as a fingerprint sensor. You don’t see that often in flagship phones.

Charging and Colors

You can charge this phone super fast – 100W with a cable and 80W wirelessly. It comes in two colors: black and gold.

Price

In China, the Pura 80 Ultra costs 9,999 yuan (about $1,400 USD). Huawei hasn’t announced the price for other countries yet.
