The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra arrives in China and stands out for a very ambitious photo mechanism to manage the hem.
The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra was formalized in China. No mystery, it is a resolutely high -end model and especially a pretext for the title of the best smartphone for the photo.
This is what you need to know about it. Note that the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra was formalized alongside other models in the same series: the Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Pro Plus.
On the design side we find the PURA signature with a triangular photo module on the back that is placed at the top left. Note three circles on this block, a very huge one! We will come back to it.
The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra weighs 233.5 grams for dimensions of 163 x 76.1 x 8.3 mm. At the back there is the second generation Kunlun Glass. Keep in mind that the phone is entitled to two certifications: IP68 for a seal up to 2 m deep in water and IP69 for resistance to water jets at high pressure.
The
Unheard of the zoom
The photo sensors of the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra attract all the attention. His predecessor, the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, is a champion of the domain.
For Pura 80 Ultra, Huawei calls on four cameras on the back, but the reality seems a bit more complex. Here the configuration is as officially presented.
- Main camera of 50 mpx and an inch with a variable opening ranging from f/1.6 to f/4.0 (OIS), equivalent 22.5 mm.
- Ultra large angle of 40 mpx (f/2.2), 13 mm equivalent.
- Telephone photo X3.7 ” ultra »From 50 mpx (f/2.4), 83 mm equivalent.
- Telephone X9.4 of 12.5 mpx (f/3.6), 212 mm equivalent.
If the variable opening that the main camera enjoys is already a wonderful argument, the real attraction is on the Phone side … which is probably only one innovative system. Statements.
It was said above, a particularly wide circle stands out on the photo block. If it’s so long, it’s just because it hides ” A revolutionary optical structure “, According to Huawei. An ingenious mechanism that can be seen at work in the promotional video below.
What this video seems to show is that the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra uses two objectives for a single sensor.
We do indeed see a periscopic system where the sensor is perpendicular to preventing too much protrusion of the photo block and where the light is reflected in straight corners to reach it.
In the video in question, however, there is a periscopic system for two objectives and a mechanism that moves “rectangle” according to the recording mode used.
In one case the light goes through a lens dedicated to the X3.7 mode (83 mm), in the other it runs through that focuses on Zoom X9.4 (212 mm).
From what we understand, the magnification X3.7 with this structure benefits entirely from the 50 MP definition of the sensor, while at X9.4 it only makes the center of the aforementioned sensor and therefore associated with a definition of 12.5 MPX.
This is how Huawei evokes ” One goal and two eyes ». The manufacturer claims that this system enables you to see as much as possible with great clarity.
Also note that a very special care was given to the video on the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, especially to manage the dynamics, even in difficult lighting conditions.
On the selfie side, the Pura 80 Ultra has a 13 MPX camera on the front (f/2.0) in one fell swoop.
Harmonyos 5.1 (without Google of course)
The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra also benefits from 16 GB RAM for storage ranging from 512 GB to 1 TB, depending on the chosen version. As far as the chip is concerned, we suspect a Kirin 9020, but the information is not officially revealed.
Also count on a 5700 mAh battery that is compatible with a load of 100 W in wired and 80 W wireless.
Finally, the smartphone runs on Harmonyos 5.1. Huawei emphasizes AI functions so that the assistant can look through the camera to enrich your interactions. Interactive themes encouraged at AI are also invited and we can enjoy a character called Hanhan on the home screen.
The Google Services are clearly not part of the American embargo against Huawei. It is still the biggest obstacle for the purchase of a Chinese brand smartphone in Europe. For the most passionate, however, knows that there is a good chance of seeing this Pura 80 ultra coming later in France.
