Huawei has officially shaken up the flagship smartphone market with the launch of its Huawei Pura 80 Pro Series. Featuring sleek design, powerful hardware, and game-changing camera technology, the Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, and Pura 80 Pro+ promise an unmatched mobile experience. From stunning displays to ultra-fast charging, Huawei is proving that innovation knows no bounds.
Stunning Design with a Bold Display
Huawei has stepped up its aesthetic game in the Pura 80 Pro Series, offering modern elegance and bold colors like black, white, gold, red, and green. The Pro and Pro+ variants boast an expansive 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with quad-curved edges, protected by next-gen Kunlun Glass for extra durability. With 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rates, ultra-high peak brightness of up to 3000 nits, and true 10-bit color, the visuals are smoother and more vivid than ever before.
The standard Pura 80 model is equipped with a slightly smaller 6.6-inch LTPO OLED screen, still delivering the same immersive color depth and responsiveness. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or browsing, the display experience is nothing short of spectacular.
Performance Powered by Innovation
Although Huawei has kept its exact chipset details under wraps, the entire Pura 80 Pro Series runs on the Kirin 9020 (7nm) platform, with powerful GPU Maleoon 920 and the latest HarmonyOS 5.1 (in China) or EMUI 14.2 (internationally). According to Huawei, the Ark Engine delivers a remarkable 36% performance boost, making multitasking seamless.
RAM and storage configurations are generous. The base and Pro models feature 12GB RAM, while the Pro+ offers 16GB RAM. Storage options range from 256GB to 1TB, with blazing-fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports on the Pro models for swift data transfers.
Industry-Leading Camera Capabilities
Photography is where the Huawei Pura 80 Pro Series truly breaks the mold. The Pro and Pro+ models are outfitted with a 1-inch 50MP primary sensor—a rarity in smartphones. Paired with a 48MP telephoto lens capable of 4x optical zoom and macro functionality, plus a 40MP ultra-wide lens, the camera setup captures every detail in stunning clarity.
Even the standard Pura 80 impresses with its variable aperture 50MP main camera, a 12MP periscope telephoto lens offering up to 5.5x zoom, and a 13MP ultra-wide lens. All three models feature a 13MP ultra-wide selfie camera with autofocus, ideal for group shots and wide-angle selfies.
These devices are perfect for mobile photography enthusiasts who demand DSLR-like performance on the go.
Longer Battery Life with Faster Charging
Huawei understands the need for power that lasts. The Pura 80 Pro and Pro+ models are fitted with 5,700mAh batteries and support 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, drastically reducing downtime. They also support 18W reverse charging, perfect for powering accessories.
The standard Pura 80 comes with a 5,600mAh battery, and supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging—still above average for most flagship devices. With reverse charging capabilities, all models double up as power banks in emergencies.

The Huawei Pura 80 Pro Series is currently available in China, with global availability expected soon. Prices for the Pura 80 Pro start at $905 for the 12GB/256GB model and go up to $1,115 for the 1TB variant. The Pura 80 Pro+ starts at $1,115 for 512GB and tops out at $1,250 for the 1TB model.
