Huawei Pura 80: The Huawei Pura 80 has surfaced online through recent leaks, and it looks like Huawei is aiming to deliver another premium experience with its upcoming flagship. The phone runs on HarmonyOS v5, showing Huawei’s continued push for independence from Android, especially in the Chinese market. This custom OS is expected to bring smoother animations and better ecosystem integration.
Slim Build, Solid Feel
Its 8mm body and 207g weight make Huawei Pura 80 appear slim but substantial in one’s hand. Although its weight is nothing exceptional, the narrow body provides it with a superior feel. It also features an in-display fingerprint sensor for that clean, contemporary front.
OLED Display with Impressive Specs
Huawei equips the Pura 80 with a 6.67-inch OLED display that comes with a 1256 x 2760 pixel resolution and 455ppi pixel density. It makes it clean and vibrant when used to play games or view films. It is also high enough to handle 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is something that cuts down on eye strain, especially during long use.
High Refresh Rate and Durable Glass
The screen is complemented by a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and a 300Hz touch sampling rate for better responsiveness during gaming or quick interactions. The Kunlun Glass 2 is tougher, and the punch-hole design enables less intrusiveness in consuming content.
Triple Camera Setup with 4K Support
The camera setup at the back includes a strong 108MP primary sensor, a 13MP second camera, and a 12MP third sensor, supported by OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). The setup supports 4K UHD video recording for top-notch content. At the front, there is a 16MP camera, which is on par compared to selfies and video calls.
Performance Backed by Kirin Chipset
The phone is driven by a Kirin chipset with an octa-core processor. The phone comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. While memory cards are not supported, onboard storage should be sufficient for everyone. Huawei is continuing to utilize its internal chips, and while this will limit performance relative to Snapdragon rivals, it increases coupling with HarmonyOS.
Strong Connectivity and Extra Features
The Pura 80 supports 4G as well as 5G networks, VoLTE, Bluetooth v5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC, and even an IR Blaster. It has USB-C v3.1 for rapid data transfer. But no 3.5mm headphone jack or FM Radio, which some older users may not appreciate.
Battery and Charging Capabilities
It is fueled by a 4900mAh battery that has 66W Super Fast Charging and 50W wireless charging support. It also supports reverse charging and is thus an all-day power-hog phone.
Verdict: A Flagship for Huawei Loyalists
The Huawei Pura 80 seems to be a good flagship option, especially for Huawei ecosystem fanatics. With decent cameras, decent battery tech, and HarmonyOS integration, it’s for the ones who value design and performance over mainstream brand fame.
