Apple iPhone Air vs Huawei Pura 80 Pro+

EDITORIAL: Like Samsung, Apple has introduced a slim phone this year. And just like Samsung’s, Apple’s new entry replaces the bigger non-Pro model that wasn’t selling too well. 17 Air is the only iPhone this year to keep the Titanium build and the only one to come with just 2 lenses: one on the front and just one in the back. Other then being 5.6mm thin, 17 Air offers the same screen with anti-reflection coating and the same new “Center Stage” selfie camera as this year’s Pro’s. It’s A19 Pro chip has 1 core less and a noticably slower performance when compared to 17 Pro Max. Night mode photos are painfully slow to take. The still and video imaging is very good but remember: you won’t have access to any meaningful zooming or ultrawide action. At least, Air’s battery life is better then Samsung Edge’s. We wish it more luck then iPhone Plus had.

EDITORIAL: Pura 80 Pro+ was announced along the Pura 80 Ultra on Jun 11, 2025. It is noticably cheaper then the Ultra and shares all of Ultra's features except the zoom unit that is a 48MP OIS PDAF telephoto instead of the new 50MP sensor that serves two periscope tele lenses by utilizing mechanical sliding tech - a first of it's kind! The rest is the same: processor, battery, screen, IP protection, software and even Huawei's good desktop replacement functionality is there.
