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.
PROs
premium build quality and a very unique camera bump design, good (upper-midrange) performance from Kirin 9020, 24hr battery endurance with sub-60min 100W charging (80W wireless), 1100nits 460ppi LTPO OLED with 1440Hz PWM , IP69 element protection (2m for up to 30min), outstanding photos from a 50MP 23mm f/1.6-4.0 1 inch main + 48MP 93mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 40MP 13mm AF ultrawide camera setup, great 13MP AF ultrawide performance, good video recording, mature desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.1 with OTG and Display Port 1.2 and a great sound from the stereo speaker setup
CONs
big heavy (76.1mm 219g) body, short battery life for such a big phone, lack of expandable memory slot, lack of (out-of-the-box) Google services, unknown software update future

EDITORIAL: Huawei is back with another shot at "world's best camera-phone" title. The company has adopted a full self-reliance approach in both hardware (Kirin chip, screen protective glass, camera design) and software (moving it's OS away from Google dependence) and seems to be back to finding excellence. With Pura 80 Ultra, Huawei brings the first in the smartphone photography: two different periscope telephoto lenses that share one sensor. The rest of imaging setup is stellar and will get you photos as good as any top 2025 phone. The processor, battery and software remain Pura's weaknesses.
PROs
more competitive pricing then Pura 70 Ultra, great build quality, solid (midrange) Kirin 9020 performance, sub-50min 100W (80W wireless) charging of the 5700mAh Li battery, IP69 protection, outstanding 50MP 1" sensor main camera with f/1.6-4.0 OIS PDAF + 50MP 83mm and 12.5MP 212mm two lens PDAF OIS periscope telephoto + 40MP AF ultrawide + 13MP 13mm AF ultrawide setup, 13MP 21mm PDAF selfie, top video recording, a DeX-like desktop replacement functionality and fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG and Display Port 1.2
CONs
lack of Google apps out of the box, future-software-update concerns, wider and heavier (76.1mm, 233gr) body, mediocre performance for a "Ultra" label, non-Si 5700mAh with barely 24hr endurance, sub-1300nits screen with no Dolby Vision or HDR10+, lack of expandable memory storage,
