Huawei has not detailed plans for a global rollout of the new Pura 80 series, but given that the Pura 70 models are available in places like Europe, Indonesia and others, it’s hard to imagine that the new generation will be available only in China. So, assuming the Pura 80 phones are available near you soon, would you buy one – and which one?
Huawei Pura 80 • Huawei Pura 80 Pro • Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ • Huawei Pura 80 Ultra
Starting with the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, that has a crazy complicated camera system that moves the same 50MP 1/1.28” sensor between two lenses – 3.7x/83mm and 9.4x/212mm. The phone also has a 1”-type 50MP main sensor and a 40MP ultra-wide camera. The 6.8” LTPO display is backed by a 5,700mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging.
The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Pro+ mainly differ in areas like memory and satellite connectivity. Both keep the 1”-type main camera from the Ultra, but settle for a single telephoto camera – a 48MP 4x/93mm module. The ultra-wide is still 40MP. The display and battery are the same as the Ultra too.
The vanilla Huawei Pura 80 has a smaller 6.6” display, still an LTPO OLED, and a 5,600mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. The camera system is more basic, but still quite capable with a 50MP 1/1.3” main, 12MP 5x/125mm tele and 13MP ultra-wide. Note that the Pura 80 launch is still pending.
Huawei is keeping chipset details under wraps, but we think it’s the same chipset as on the Mate X6, at least at the top of the Pura 80 range. And these phones don’t run Android but HarmonyOS. The global variants should get EMUI instead, though.
Here are pricing details for the Huawei Pura 80 family, but keep in mind that the USD amounts are simple conversion and the real global price will likely be different.
