You’ve heard the whispers. A phone with a camera that makes professional photographers nervous. A design that belongs on a runway. But let’s be real—a flagship phone is more than just a pretty face and a fancy lens. Behold the brand new HUAWEI Pura 80 Series smartphones which is all about the engine under the hood, the screen you’ll stare at for hours, and the battery that refuses to die.
HUAWEI Pura 80 Series: Everything You Need To Know
Forget all the marketing fluff. This is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for. No sugar-coating, no empty buzzwords—just the real story on what makes the HUAWEI Pura 80 Series worth your attention. We’re breaking down the raw specs, the standout features, and whether it truly lives up to the hype. Let’s see if this phone is just another pretty face or the real deal you’ve been hoping for.
The Engine Room: Meet the Kirin 9010
At the heart of both the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro and Ultra beats the new Kirin 9010 chipset. But what does that mean for you?
Think of it as a flawlessly coordinated pit crew. This processor isn't just about raw speed; it's about intelligent efficiency. It juggles demanding apps, high-res video streaming, and intense gaming sessions without breaking a sweat, all while sipping power instead of guzzling it.
And to back it up, you get a serious amount of memory:
- RAM: Typically starting at 12GB, with configurations reaching 16GB on the Ultra. This means you can keep 50 browser tabs, Spotify, and a game like Genshin Impact open in the background without a single stutter.
- Storage: Options range from 256GB all the way up to a whopping 1TB. That’s enough space for thousands of high-res photos, 4K videos, and your entire app library—with room to spare.
A Display That Will Ruin Other Phones for You
Get ready to get picky, because once you’ve used this screen, there’s no going back. Both models feature a jaw-dropping ~6.8-inch LTPO OLED display.
Let's translate that tech-speak:
- LTPO OLED: This is the secret sauce. The screen can dynamically adjust its refresh rate from a buttery-smooth 120Hz when you’re scrolling, down to just 1Hz when you’re reading a static page. The benefit? Silky animations when you need them, and epic battery savings when you don’t.
- Peak Brightness: With up to a whopping 3000 nits, this screen is brighter than your future. You’ll be able to read your texts and frame your photos perfectly, even under the blazing sun at the beach.
- Resolution: A crisp, vibrant resolution (around 2720 x 1260 pixels) makes everything from Netflix shows to Instagram stories look stunningly sharp and lifelike.
More Than Just an OS: Your Smart Sidekick, HarmonyOS 4.2
The HUAWEI Pura 80 Series runs on HarmonyOS 4.2, and it’s packed with clever features that genuinely make your life easier. This isn't just a basic operating system; it's an intelligent assistant.
Features you’ll actually use:
- AI-Powered Everything: From the “Best Expression” fixer in group photos to the magical AI Removal tool that erases photobombers, the AI is deeply integrated.
- SuperHub 2.0: Drag and drop text, images, and files between different apps in a temporary clipboard. It’s the multitasking feature you never knew you needed.
- Live View Windows: Get real-time updates from apps (like your food delivery or ride-share) right on your lock screen or as a floating bubble. No more app-switching madness.
- Interactive Themes: The phone’s themes are alive. Tilt your phone, and the icons and wallpaper react with playful physics. It’s a small touch that makes the phone feel fun.
Battery & Durability: The Unsung Heroes
A powerful phone is useless if it’s dead by 3 PM or shatters from a minor tumble. Huawei gets this.
- The Power Plant: A massive 5170mAh battery (for the Ultra, slightly less for the Pro) that easily lasts a full day of heavy use.
- Warp-Speed Charging: Get back in the game with 100W wired charging and 80W wireless charging. You can go from 0 to 50% in about 15 minutes.
- Built Like a Tank: The Ultra is protected by Crystal Armor Kunlun Glass (25x more drop-resistant), while the Pro uses the still-tough 2nd-Gen Kunlun Glass. Both are IP68-rated, meaning they can survive dust, rain, and even a quick dip in the pool.
HUAWEI Pura 80 Series: A Style Icon with a Killer Camera?
Let's be real—when was the last time you thought of your phone as just a phone? These days, that little device in your pocket is your professional camera, your window to the world, your wallet, and, let's face it, a major fashion accessory. We don't just buy phones for what they can do; we buy them for how they make us feel.
And that’s exactly where the new HUAWEI Pura 80 Series comes into play. It’s aiming to be the best of both worlds: a powerhouse of technology wrapped in a design that’s meant to turn heads.
First Impressions: A Phone That Doesn't Blend In
The first thing you’ll notice about any phone is its design, and the HUAWEI Pura 80 lineup isn't shy. Right off the bat, the triangle-shaped camera module—what HUAWEI calls the "Dazzling Forward Symbol"—is unmistakable. It gives the phone a bold, confident look that stands out in a sea of identical camera bumps. This is especially true on the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra and the stunning Glazed Red version of the Pro, which features a subtle sunburst pattern that catches the light beautifully.
But it’s not just about looks. These phones feel great to hold. With sleek, glazed bodies and rounded corners, they sit comfortably in your hand—a welcome change from some of the sharp-edged bricks on the market today.
You’ve got a few gorgeous colors to choose from:
- HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro: Glazed Black, Glazed Red, or Glazed White
- HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra: Prestige Gold or Golden Black
The Main Event: The Pura 80 Ultra’s Game-Changing Zoom
Okay, let's talk about the star of the show. If you love taking photos, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra has a feature that might just blow your mind: the world's first switchable dual telephoto system.
What does that even mean?
Imagine you’re at a concert, trying to get a clear shot of the artist on stage. Or maybe you're out camping, hoping to capture the craters on the moon. With most phones, you’d have to rely on digital zoom, which often leaves you with a grainy, pixelated mess.
Not here. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra uses a clever mechanical shutter that physically switches between two different optical zoom levels—3.7x and 9.4x—on the same massive telephoto sensor. This means you can get dramatically closer to your subject without losing that crisp, clear quality. It’s like having two professional lenses built right into your phone, giving you incredible control over your shots.
And the main camera? It’s just as impressive. We're talking a 50MP 1-inch sensor with a variable aperture (F1.6-F4.0), which basically means it can adapt to any lighting condition, from bright daylight to a dimly lit restaurant, and capture stunning detail.
But Don't Sleep on the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro
If the Ultra feels like a bit much, don't worry—the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro is an absolute beast in its own right. It's built for those who want flagship performance without necessarily needing the Ultra's specialized zoom system.
Here’s what the Pro’s camera setup looks like:
- 50MP Ultra Lighting Main Camera: Its large 1-inch sensor is fantastic at pulling in light, so your photos will pop with detail and vibrant color, even when it gets dark.
- 40MP Ultra-Wide Camera: Perfect for capturing sprawling landscapes or fitting everyone into a group shot.
- Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera: This is where the Pro really shines. It has a massive F2.1 aperture that lets in a ton of light for incredibly bright and sharp close-up shots. Think stunning details of a flower petal or the texture of a fabric. It also offers a powerful 4x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom for long-range flexibility.
Spec Showdown: Pro vs. Ultra
So, how do they stack up side-by-side? Here’s the cheat sheet:
The Verdict
The HUAWEI Pura 80 Series isn’t just an incremental upgrade; it’s a powerhouse statement. Whether you’re the Pro user who wants flagship performance without the absolute top-end price, or the Ultra enthusiast who needs the best-of-the-best camera and durability, both phones deliver.
Starting from RM4599 (and with those sweet freebies worth up to RM1428), you’re getting a whole lot of phone for your money.
