HUAWEI, the global technology powerhouse, has officially announced that its much-anticipated Pura 80 Series will launch globally on July 10, 2025, with Dubai hosting the premier event. Among the series, the spotlight shines brightest on the Pura 80 Ultra, a flagship model packed with some of the most advanced camera technology seen on a smartphone to date.
The Pura 80 Ultra is rumored to closely follow the specs of the Chinese variant, boasting a groundbreaking 1-inch 50MP RYYB primary camera featuring variable aperture technology. This lets users switch between f/1.6 to f/4.0 settings, while the TCG triple-real-time fusion technology significantly enhances dynamic range, achieving an impressive 16EV—the highest in smartphone photography.
Adding to its photography prowess, the phone includes a switchable telephoto lens with an enormous 1/1.28-inch sensor. Uniquely, it houses two periscope lenses combined into one unit, offering optical zoom capabilities of 3.7x and 9.4x. HUAWEI claims this setup represents the largest telephoto camera in the industry, positioning the Pura 80 Ultra as a leader in zoom and image clarity.
Under the hood, the Pura 80 Ultra is equipped with 16GB of RAM and offers massive storage options of either 512GB or 1TB. Powering this beast is a large 5,700mAh battery, complemented by super-fast USB-C charging at 100W and wireless charging at 80W, promising quick recharge times and extended usage.
The device will come pre-installed with HarmonyOS Next, HUAWEI’s latest operating system, aiming to deliver smooth performance and an intuitive user experience.
Other devices in the Pura 80 Series lineup include the Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Pro+, though specific details about these models are still under wraps.
While HUAWEI has yet to confirm a Philippine release for the Pura 80 Series, growing demand and recent market trends suggest a strong possibility that these premium devices will eventually make their way to local consumers.
Stay tuned for more updates as the July launch date approaches.
