The Pura 80 Series, particularly the Ultra model, pushes smartphone photography forward with its innovative switchable telephoto lens and massive 1-inch main sensor, setting new standards for zoom and low-light performance.
Posts on X highlight excitement for the Ultra’s 1/1.28-inch telephoto sensor and dual focal lengths (3.7x and 9.4x), calling it a “game-changer” for mobile photography.
However, the HarmonyOS 5.1 operating system lacks Google services globally, which may require workarounds for some users. The series’ premium pricing reflects its high-end features, but it faces competition from devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Vivo X200 Ultra.

The Pura 80 Pro is available for purchase in China, with the Ultra model available since June 26, 2025. Global sales began post-launch on July 10, 2025, through Huawei’s official website and select retailers.
The base Pura 80 is expected to hit global markets in late July, starting at €799 (~₹71,000 or $850) for 12GB/256GB.
The Huawei Pura 80 Series combines stunningSUV design, powerful performance, and groundbreaking camera technology, making it a top choice for photography enthusiasts worldwide.
