Huawei's new flagships might have the best cameras in the segment
Chinese giant Huawei has just introduced its new flagship series, Pura 80, in its home turf. The Pura 80 series consists of four new devices: Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, Pura 80 Pro+, and Pura 80 Ultra. All four feature the same design, but they have different specs and prices. The cheaper of the four, the vanilla Pura 80 is also the most compact thanks to the 6.6-inch flat OLED display. The other three models come with slightly larger 6.8-inch quad curved panels. All four displays support 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, P3 wide color gamut, 460 ppi, 3000 nits peak brightness, HDR, and second-generation Kunlun Glass. According to Huawei, each of its new Pura 80 uses a 50-megapixel main ultra-large sensor that features AI noise reduction. In comparison with the Pura 70 series, the new senso improves real-time image data processing by up to 200 percent. Huawei Pura 80 comes in five different colors | Image credit: Huawei Although all four phones use 50-megapixel sensors, they are very different. The vanilla Pura 80's main camera features variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture and OIS (optical image stabilization), while the Pro, Pro+ and Ultra's sensors feature f/1.6-f/4.0 variable aperture. Besides that, Huawei Pura 80 Ultra's camera features a 1-inch main sensor with TCG triple-real-time fusion technology, which increases dynamic range to the point that it allows the phone to capture a photo with maximum clarity by taking in all the light condition it can detect. More importantly, the Pura 80 Ultra is the world's first phone to feature a dual lens telephoto system. The standard Pura 80's 50-megapixel main sensor is complemented by 12-megapixel periscope and 13-megapixel ultra-wide cameras, as well as a 1.5-megapixel multi-channel spectrum. On the other hand, the other three models have 48-megapixel telephoto cameras, 40-megapixel ultra-wide cameras, and the same 1.5-megapixel spectrum sensor.

Although the Chinese company hasn't yet confirmed this, it appears that the Pura 80 Pro+ and Pura 80 Ultra are equipped with Huawei's Kirin 9020 the unaware, this is the same chipset Huawei uses for the Mate 70 Pro+. The only thing that Huawei's execs said during the launch is that the Pura 80 should offer up to 36 percent improved performance in comparison with the Pura 70 Pro+, which uses a previous generation Kirin 9010 the other hand, the basic Pura 80 models is said to pack a Kirin 9020A 5G chipset, which seems to be a downgraded version of the standard Kirin on to the battery, the vanilla Pura 80 packs a 5,600 mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W fast charging speeds, while the other three Pura flagships come with slightly larger 5,700 mAh batteries that support 100W wired and 80W wireless charging announced the Pura 80 series will be available in multiple storage options. The Pura 80 and Pura 80 Pro will be available in China in 12/256GB, 12/512GB, and 12GB/1TB versions. On the other hand, Pura 80+ and Pura 80 Ultra come with 16/512GB and 16GB/1TB also worth mentioning that both Pura 80 and Pura 80 Pro support Beidou constellation allowing users to send and receive messages and photos. However, the Pura 80 Pro+ and Pura 80 Ultra go a little bit further and feature dual satellite communication (Beidou and Tiantong).

Its new flagships are just as expensive as those launched by Samsung, Xiaomi or most other brands well-known in China. That said, the prices announced today are only for China, which means the global versions of the Pura 80 phones might be slightly more expensive. It's also important to add that Huawei only announced prices for the Pura 80 Pro, Pura 80 Pro+, and Pura 80 Ultra. Huawei Pura 80 Pro 12/256GB – 6,500 yuan ($905 / €775) 12/512GB – 7,000 yuan ($975 / €850) 12GB/1TB – 8,000 yuan ($1,115 / €970) Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ 12/512GB – 8,000 yuan ($1,115 / €970) 12GB/1TB – 9,000 yuan ($1,250 / €1.090) Huawei Pura 80 Ultra 16/512GB – 10,000 yuan ($1,390 / €1.210) 16GB/1TB – 11,000 yuan ($1,530 / €1.335) Huawei Pura 80 Pro comes in three colors (black, white and gold), while the Pura 80 Pro+ is available in four colors (black, white, gold, and red). The third one, Pura 80 Ultra is only available in gold and black. The vanilla Pura 80 doesn't seem to be available yet.

Huawei launches Pura 80 smartphone series in next step of China comeback
BEIJING: Chinese tech giant Huawei launched its Pura 80 smartphone series on Wednesday, as the company seeks to cement its comeback in China's premium smartphone market following years of U.S. sanctions. Huawei's latest flagship launch demonstrates the Chinese tech giant's continued efforts to reclaim the top spot in its home market despite ongoing U.S. sanctions. Each new phone release is closely watched as a barometer of the company's technological capabilities and market resilience following years of restrictions that severely impacted its smartphone business. Huawei's resurgence has intensified pressure on Apple, which has seen its market share in China steadily decline and has increasingly relied on price discounts to stimulate sales. Huawei unveiled the Pura 80 series through a livestream event, with consumer business unit head Yu Chengdong focusing heavily on camera capabilities and AI features while staying silent about the chips powering the devices. The series includes four models: Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, Pura 80 Pro+, and Pura 80 Ultra. Pricing starts at 6,499 yuan ($905) for the Pro series launching June 14, with the Pro+ also launching June 14 at 7,999 yuan and the Ultra at 9,999 yuan on June 26. The base model launches in July. The cameras use XMAGE technology and feature ultra-wide-angle and macro telephoto lenses with embedded AI that can identify objects and provide information like tourist guides. Huawei phone launches generate significant interest as many view them as the company defying U.S. sanctions. On Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, three of the top ten trending topics on Wednesday were Pura 80-related. User reactions were mixed, with many praising the camera capabilities and sleek design while others complained the prices were too high and not worth the cost.

Huawei's latest phone fits two telephoto lenses into one camera
Huawei has just announced the Chinese launch of its Pura 80 flagship phones, and the Ultra comes with a clever trick: a 'switchable' dual-lens telephoto camera that allows two different lenses to share the same sensor. You can see both lenses side-by-side in the largest of the three camera rings on the 80 Ultra's rear, but they share more than just a housing. Both lenses are attached to the same set of periscopic elements and the same image sensor, with a movable prism that directs light from the chosen lens. That's a different approach to the variable telephotos in some Sony Xperia phones, which use a single lens but move parts of the periscopic structure to change the zoom distance. The Pura 80 Ultra's two lenses offer 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom — or 83mm and 212mm if you prefer — which is a wider range than Sony's take ever managed. The shorter lens has an f/2.4 aperture and Huawei's spec sheet lists it as a 50-megapixel camera. The other lens is f/3.6 and curiously, despite using the same sensor, is listed with a smaller 12.5-megapixel resolution, suggesting that there's either sensor-cropping or additional pixel-binning going on when using that lens. Combining the two telephoto lenses isn't just a way of grabbing headlines. Image sensors are among the most expensive components in modern phones, so finding ways to use one sensor for multiple lenses could save costs in the long run. It's also a space saver, even more so by avoiding having two full periscopic systems. That could keep the phone slimmer, but also makes space for better components — the 1/1.28-inch-type sensor used here is larger than most telephotos offer, and possibly enabled by the new design. Beyond the novel telephoto cameras, the Pura 80 Ultra includes a 50-megapixel main camera with Huawei's returning dynamic aperture design, plus a 40-megapixel ultrawide. A 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display, 5,700mAh battery, and IP68 and 69 ratings round out the flagship spec sheet. It comes with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, but Huawei hasn't detailed the chipset that powers it — a secrecy that's become standard in the last few years as it develops its own chips in the wake of US sanctions. Image: Huawei The Ultra has launched alongside three other phones: the Pura 80, 80 Pro, and 80 Pro Plus. All three have similar designs, and even the base model includes a triple rear camera, only slightly smaller 6.6-inch LTPO OLED screen, and 5,600mAh battery. The Pro and Pro Plus are the same size as the Ultra, and share its main camera and ultrawide, but have a single 48-megapixel telephoto each. The only edge the Plus gets is a little extra RAM and support for two types of satellite communications, though every Pura 80 phone can connect to the Beidou satellite system. All the new Pura phones launch running HarmonyOS 5.1, the latest version of Huawei's operating system, which is no longer based on Android. The 80 Ultra starts at CNY9,999 (around $1,390), while the Pro models start at CNY 6,500 (around $900); the regular Pura 80 isn't on sale yet and doesn't have a price. Last year's Pura 70 series launched internationally a few weeks after its China debut, so we'll have to see if the same will be true this year.

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra debuts switchable tele lenses and 1" main sensor
Huawei's Pura series has become the de facto breeding ground for the brand's latest camera developments, and the Pura 80 Ultra offers the most capable setup to date. This year's headlining factor is a massive 1/1.28-inch periscope telephoto sensor attached to two lenses. Huawei managed to integrate an intricate moving mechanism that shifts between the two lenses. You get 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom with sensor-shift OIS between the two units. This effectively means that you can capture shots at f/2.4 aperture with an 83 mm equivalent focal length or at f/3.6 aperture with a 212 mm focal length. Huawei's switchable telephoto lenses Pura 80 Ultra also boasts a 50MP main shooter featuring a 1-inch type RYYB sensor with variable f/1.6 - f/4.0 aperture and OIS. Huawei claims shots from the main shooter offer 15x higher dynamic range compared to the Pura 70 Ultra. The 1"-type main sensor gets 16EV dynamic range In fact, the main shooter is rated at 16EV dynamic range, which is a record achievement for a smartphone. This should translate to improved preservation of light and dark details in images and video. The Pura 80 series also gets photographic style with Nature, Film, Movie and Cartoon presets. Huawei has developed a new real-time fusion technology for video that preserves highlight details. Pura 80 Ultra also features a 40MP ultrawide lens (13mm) and a 1.5MP multi-spectral color sensor. Photographic style presets Outside of the cameras, Pura 80 Ultra brings a quad curved 6.8-inch LTPO OLED with FHD+ resolution and a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It is protected by second-gen Kunlun glass and boasts up to 3,000 nits peak local brightness. There's no info on the chipset at the helm, so we'll have to wait for teardown videos for that info. We do know that the Pura 80 Ultra features 16GB RAM as standard and is configurable with 512GB or 1TB storage. The Pura 80 series boots HarmonyOS 5.1, and in the case of the Ultra, we have a 5,700 mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. The phone is also IP68/69 water and dust resistant. Huawei Pura 80 Ultra comes in Black and Gold colors. Huawei Pura 80 Ultra The 16/512GB trim comes in at CNY 9,999 ($1,391) while the top-tier 16GB and 1TB version will go for CNY 10,999 ($1,530). Buyers in China can pre-order both versions starting today, while first deliveries are expected to begin on June 26. Huawei Pura 80 Ultra (Vmall)
