Huawei has just dropped its latest flagship, the Pura 80 Ultra, and it’s turning heads with its new "one sensor, two lenses" camera 📸! Designed with a striking triangle-shaped camera layout, this innovation combines a 3.7x and a 9.4x telephoto lens on a single 1/1.28-inch sensor to capture more light and save space.
Li Xiaolong, Huawei's CTO, proclaimed this as the biggest hardware innovation on the device, even though the cost is very high. For tech enthusiasts who crave breakthrough features, this might be just the upgrade you were waiting for! 🤩
But there's more behind the scenes: The lenses come from OFILM Group—an Apple ex-supplier once blacklisted by the U.S.—and the camera sensors hail from Shanghai-based SmartSens, showcasing the Chinese mainland’s strengthened supply chain for quality components.
Under the hood, the Pura 80 Ultra is powered by the Kirin 9020 chipset (also seen in the Mate 70 series from late 2024). While its performance may not rival some top-tier competitors due to a less advanced process, HarmonyOS Next 5.1 enriches the user experience with cool features like live AI conversation. An even bigger update with HarmonyOS Next 6.0 is on the horizon, promising tighter integration between your smartphone and vehicles.
With a price tag of 9,999 yuan (around $1,400), the Pura 80 Ultra is sparking plenty of discussion among tech fans. Some are calling for more budget-friendly alternatives, but when innovation comes knocking, a premium is often expected! What do you think about this bold leap in mobile photography? 🚀
