Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pro+ pack 1" 50MP cams and 48MP periscopes, Pura 80 tags along
Huawei has introduced its next generation Pura 80 series – they flaunt 1' sensors, more processing power, bigger batteries, improved satellite communication and more. Note that there are four new models and we will cover the first three here, the Ultra model is discussed in a separate post.
The Huawei Pura 80 is the smallest of the family with a flat 6.6' display (1,256 x 2,760px). Advancing battery tech gives this phone 5,600mAh capacity. This is with 66W fast wired and 50W fast wireless charging.

The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Pro+ have larger 6.8' displays with quad-curved glass (the screens themselves look flat, though). All Pura 80 models have LTPO OLED displays (1-120Hz) with 10-bit colors and second-generation Kunlun Glass.

The Pros also have slightly larger batteries at 5,700mAh. The big upgrade here is the faster charging – 100W wired and 80W wireless. Note that the vanilla model has a USB 2.0 port, the Pro and Pro+ have USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports.

Huawei doesn't say what chipsets are used in the Pura 80 series, only claiming that the Ark Engine in the Pro and Pro+ makes them 36% faster than their predecessors. The vanilla and Pro models have 12GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB storage. The Pro+ has 16GB of RAM and skips the 256GB storage variant, offering only 512GB and 1TB instead.

The camera setup is where it gets good. The vanilla Pura 80 has a 50MP main with a variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture and OIS (sensor size unknown). There is also a 12MP periscope with 5.5x zoom/125mm focal length and an f/3.4 lens with OIS. Also on the back are a 13MP ultra-wide camera (13mm) and a 1.5MP multi-channel spectrum sensor. The selfie camera is the same on all Pura 80 models – a 13MP sensor behind an ultra-wide f/2.0 lens with autofocus.
The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pro+ have 1' 50MP main cameras (f/1.6-f/4.0 variable aperture, OIS). The telephoto camera is also upgraded with a higher resolution sensor at 48MP and a slightly shorter 4x/93mm lens with a wider f/2.1 aperture and tele-macro capabilities (and OIS, of course). The ultra-wide camera is upgraded to a 40MP sensor (13mm lens) and the 1.5MP spectrum sensor is also on board.

Huawei has upgraded the satellite messaging capabilities of the Pura phones. The Pura 80 and 80 Pro support the Beidou constellation – they can send and receive messages, but they can also send photos! The Beidou system can also send news and alerts in case of emergency.
The Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ supports dual satellite communication – Beidou and Tiantong. Interestingly, the phone can remain connected to a satellite without you having to actively point it at the satellite.
Two-way satellite communication • AI assisted photo composition
Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 (be) at 2.4GHz and 5GHz, Bluetooth 5.2 (LDAC, L2HC), NFC and NearLink (aka SparkLink), which is a Huawei-led effort to develop an alternative to Bluetooth.
The phones are rated IP68 for submersion (up to 2m) and IP69 for high-temperature water jets.
The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pro+ are available in China starting today – we have listed the prices of the various storage tiers below, plus a conversion to USD.

This change to all upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watches might improve branding — or backfire completely
Samsung's next wave of smartwatches is getting a new look—and it's one that might feel familiar. According to recent reports and leaks, including a now-sold eBay listing, the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 will all share the same "squircle" design first introduced with last year's Ultra model. This marks a shift in Samsung's smartwatch design strategy. For the first time, all models in the lineup will use the same shape, which was originally meant to enhance durability for outdoor use. While some users welcome the unified design and believe it helps with brand recognition, others feel the squircle shape should remain exclusive to the Ultra to keep it distinct. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will keep its rotating bezel—a longtime fan favorite. The latest leaks show that this version will also gain the Quick button, which was first introduced with the Ultra. Visually, it sits somewhere between the base Watch 8 and the Ultra, but with a slightly thicker bezel and notches around the edge to support rotation. This suggests that Samsung still wants to offer variety through features, even as the design becomes more unified. The standard Galaxy Watch 8 will also adopt the squircle look, though it's expected to appear more subtle on this version. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 8 will likely be available in two sizes: 40mm and 44mm. This design update may seem a bit out of place for a watch that's not focused on rugged use, but Samsung may position it as part of a broader shift in visual identity. Newest renders of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 lineup . | Image credit — Android Headlines As for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025, the design changes are minimal. The most noticeable update is a new blue color variant, paired with a blue Marine strap. Last year, this strap was only available in orange or dark gray. Samsung appears to be using blue as a 'hero' color across its devices this year, starting with the Galaxy S25 series. Samsung is expected to reveal all three watches during its upcoming Unpacked event, likely taking place in early July. Based on past launches, we can expect the watches to hit store shelves within two weeks of the announcement. While some may miss the clearer separation between models, others might appreciate the new shared look. Whether it improves user experience or causes confusion will likely depend on how Samsung presents the differences in features going forward.

How is Motorola simultaneously doing too little and too much with the confusing Edge family?
I'm sure that you all know the names of the top two smartphone vendors in the US, but if I ask you who the market's third-largest player is, you're probably going to have to think a little... and may still get the answer wrong. The same goes for the number two foldable smartphone vendor in Europe as of Q1 2025 (only ranked behind Samsung), and if you're wondering what those achievements could have in common, you should know they belong to the same company. Clearly, Motorola is doing well both stateside and on the old continent and both in the foldable segment and as far as the mobile industry as a whole is concerned. But could the Lenovo-owned brand do even better in terms of sales volumes across the entire world? I think so, and the latest rumor regarding its next (non-foldable) flagship highlights one of the biggest hurdles the veteran handset maker needs to clear in order to step things up and become a serious rival for Samsung and Apple. I know what (some of) you are going to say. You don't care about marketing or branding, the only thing you look at when you're thinking of buying a new phone is just how good the phone is. But let's be honest here for a second - no one has the time and energy to do research on dozens and dozens of "different" devices, many of which look incredibly similar at first glance. That might be one of the reasons why so many people only seriously consider the iPhone 16 family and Samsung Galaxy S25 series when exploring their high-end options right now. Those are also pretty expansive, but they're easy to understand even for the least tech-savvy buyers out there. The Edge 60 Pro is... not a true flagship. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena But if the Edge 50 Ultra is a thing, that means a Galaxy S25 Ultra -rivaling Edge 60 Ultra has to be just around the corner, right? According to the legendary Evan Blass, that is in fact wrong, with Motorola instead working on the Edge 70 Ultra already. While common sense would seem to dictate a 2026 launch for the entire Edge 70 family, there's clearly a chance this mysterious flagship will see daylight by the end of 2025, joining all the aforementioned Edge 60 models (as well as their "vanilla" sibling) to create a very awkward and overly convoluted product lineup. If it feels like Motorola is doing too much in many European and Asian territories, releasing a new member of the Edge family practically every few weeks or so (not to mention the even more insane Moto G-series upgrade rhythm), the opposite is undeniably true in the US. Not only is there just one Motorola Edge (2025) model available stateside at the time of this writing, but that happens to be far from the most exciting smartphone released by the company this year. And it's not even that affordable, at least at the moment. Long story short, it's almost like Motorola's American branch is afraid of truly trying to compete with Apple and Samsung, nonetheless evidently still doing enough to win the regional bronze medal as far as shipments go. The US-only Motorola Edge 2025 is a largely unremarkable mid-ranger. | Image Credit -- Motorola Hopefully, that's where the Edge 70 Ultra will come in, reviving the US Edge+ line (maybe under a different name) after an inexplicable break of (at least) two years. I don't have anything to base that hunch on, but a Motorola Edge Plus (2025) or Edge Ultra (2025) device with Snapdragon 8 Elite processing power has to happen, and it has to happen soon. Of course, that still wouldn't make Motorola's messy product launch and branding strategy make a whole lot of sense, but it might just distract enough people from the illogical absence of the Edge 60 Ultra to give the company a little more time to put things in order.
