Huawei Pura 80 teasers hint at updated periscope lens
Huawei is set to launch its Pura 80 series in China next week, and the teaser campaign is ramping up. The latest additions are a pair of videos that highlight the Pura 80's photography prowess and specifically the periscope telephoto sensor.
The first video highlights the advancements in its XMAGE imaging brand. The video shows all of Huawei's P and Mate series flagships dating back to the Huawei P9 and ends with a brief but exciting teaser for the upcoming Pura 80 series.
Huawei also shared another video, which puts one of the new Pura 80 models in the spotlight. We get a close-up of the device's multi-focal lengths, including 2x (48mm) and 3.7x (89mm) options, which are likely the optical zoom levels. The teaser also shows 10x (240mm) and 20x zoom options near the end, which are likely hybrid zoom.
As per the most recent rumors, the Pura 80 Pro and Ultra will offer a 1-inch type main sensor with variable aperture and an RYYB color filter. The main shooter is expected to be complemented by a 1/1.3-inch 50MP periscope sensor and a 50MP ultrawide lens.

RedMagic 10S Pro benchmarks and throttling tests
The RedMagic 10S Pro is a mid-season upgrade of the 10 Pro. That phone arrived late last year as one of the first Snapdragon 8 Elite devices and it was the first RedMagic to use liquid metal to improve cooling. The company has had time to refine its setup since then. The 'Leading Version' of the Snapdragon 8 Elite is now available, which overclocks the CPU and GPU. The two Orion Prime cores now run at 4.47GHz, up from 4.32GHz on the original model, the six performance cores stay put. Also, the Adreno 830 GPU now runs at 1.2GHz, up from 1.1GHz. RedMagic 10S Pro in Nightfall, Moonlight and Dusk There are other changes – the RAM (up to 24GB) is now LPDDR5T, which should offer more bandwidth than the LPDDR5X used in the 10 Pro. Storage is up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro. Performance We tested the RedMagic 10S Pro with and without its cooling fan to see how much of a difference it made. Let's look at performance first – note that the fan doesn't really do much for peak performance, it's mostly about sustained performance, which is coming up in the next chapter. With the Prime CPU cores clocked higher, the 10S Pro edges out ahead of the 10 Pro in the Geekbench single-threaded test and is ahead of a pack of Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400 powered phones. However, once the two Prime cores have to share the power budget with the six Performance cores, things even out with the original model. There are still applications that do heavy single-threaded tasks, they should see a small bump. Optimized apps and games won't see a big benefit. The GPU overclock has a bigger impact for gaming and helped the 10S Pro open up a lead on competing devices in the Wild Life Extreme benchmark. That will translate in higher fps in games that weren't hitting the refresh rate cap and more stable gameplay in games that were. Strangely, the RedMagic doesn't do so well on the Solar Bay test, 3DMark's ray tracing benchmark. The 10S Pro posts a higher score than the 10 Pro, but neither can match other Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400 phones. AnTuTu is a whole-system test, so it tests additional components like RAM and storage bandwidth. The 10S Pro shows a small but noticeable improvement over the 10 Pro. Stability With the original 10 Pro, RedMagic added liquid metal – this is an alloy that melts at very low temperature and has very high thermal conductivity. It's used in gaming PCs and laptops as it performs better than typical thermal compound. In the RedMagic 10S Pro there is 36mm² of liquid metal in direct contact with the chip (30% more than there was on the 10 Pro). This guides heat to a 12,000mm² vapor chamber that spreads the heat around. But the phone doesn't rely on just passive cooling – it could, but for gaming you can enable the 23,000rpm fan. The cooling setup of the RedMagic 10S Pro This fan sucks in cool air from the outside, pulls it across the phone over the chipset and dumps the now warm air out the other side. In our RedMagic 10 Pro review we noted that this system wasn't as effective as it has been on previous generations. Let's see if the refined cooling system on the 10S Pro does any better. Unfortunately, the CPU still throttles pretty heavily – down to 56% from peak with the fan on, compared to 54% with the fan off (on the 10 Pro it was 57% and 54%, respectively). However, the fan does smooth out some of the bumpiness in the chart. CPU stability test: fan off • fan on Moving over to the GPU and the results aren't any better. The stability reported by 3DMark in the Wild Life Extreme test is within the margin of error, as is the performance – both the best and lowest score from the test. GPU stability test: fan off • fan on Does the fan actually do anything? Indeed it does – here's a look through a thermal camera showing the phone under load. You can see the warm air coming out of the phone heating up the desk below (the camera can't see the air itself, obviously). RedMagic 10S Pro in thermal vision The RedMagic 10S Pro is a very fast phone – performance is not an issue. However, the active cooling system does not bring enough benefit to justify the extra cost and complications (e.g. the basic water resistance) associated with it.

vivo X Fold5 will have unprecedented dust and water resistance for a foldable
vivo has started the teaser campaign for its upcoming X Fold5, which according to a recent rumor is due to be unveiled on July 10. The phone will boast unprecedented dust and water resistance ratings for a foldable. We're talking about IP5X dust resistance, which beats Samsung's IP4X, as well as a trio of water resistance ratings: IPX8, IPX9, and IPX9+. IP5X means the phone will not entirely prevent ingress of dust, but "it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the safe operation", according to the IP code definitions. vivo X Fold5 teaser image Regarding IPX9+, vivo says you'll be able to fold and unfold the X Fold5 in water 1m deep 1,000 times, which is certainly impressive, even though we're not sure what the use case for that would be in the real world. Finally, no other foldable so far has received an IPX9 certification, which is all about protection from water jets (IPX8 is about immersion into water). The X Fold5 is also teased to be the lightest book-style foldable ever, and will be offered in green as you can see from the glimpse in the shot above. Source (in Chinese)
