Pro-level power and precision in the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro
Capture every detail with the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro
The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro is the glazed showpiece of the new Pura 80 Series, with cameras that set it apart. As the natural successor to the iconic P Series, and carrying forward the same photography DNA, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro establishes itself as a camera powerhouse with bold design choices.
A studio in your pocket, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro offers everything that defines a flagship. It looks and performs like a premium device, and for those who value photographic excellence along with understated elegance, it’s the perfect balance.
1-inch Ultra Lighting Camera: brilliant nightscapes
The rear camera module is more prominent than ever, taking up nearly a quarter of the back panel. Its size is well justified. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro shares its main camera with the Pura 80 Ultra, featuring a massive 1-inch sensor. Paired with a large F1.6–F4.0 ten-step variable aperture, it delivers the industry’s largest main camera light intake.
Supporting this is the Ultra Chroma Camera, which captures colour data at pixel level to ensure accurate reproduction. In low-light conditions, or when subjects are illuminated by multiple sources, the Ultra Chroma Camera delivers precise colour calibration for true-to-life results.
The system is further enhanced by the 48 MP Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera and the 40 MP ultra-wide camera, both supported by the Ultra Chroma Camera to produce vibrant, detailed images.
Beyond its impressive hardware lineup, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro brings pro-level refinements that make a real difference in everyday shooting. Huawei’s proprietary RYYB sensor structure captures up to 40% more light than traditional sensors, ensuring clarity even in challenging conditions. Super HDR balances contrast in tricky backlit shots, while a physically adjustable aperture on the main camera gives users creative control over depth of field — a feature usually reserved for professional cameras.
The 48 MP Ultra Lighting Macro Telephoto Camera also benefits from optical image stabilisation, keeping images crisp and steady when zooming in. Together with AI scene recognition and Super Night Mode, the Pura 80 Pro adapts intelligently to any environment, delivering sharp, vibrant results whether you’re shooting cityscapes at dusk or portraits in uneven lighting.
Naturally perfect glazing
Unlike devices that rely on reflective gradients, metallic sheens or bold branding, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro introduces a refined glaze texture. It adds depth, subtle light diffusion, and a smooth tactile feel that resists fingerprints. Inspired by ceramic artistry, the glaze embodies a minimalist, modern aesthetic, exuding calm sophistication with a surface that feels almost organic.
The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro comes in two striking colourways: Glazed Red and Glazed Black. The Glazed Red, a gorgeous burgundy, stands out with its forward symbol design, inspired by the classic sunray motif seen in fine jewellery and luxury timepieces. The radiant sunburst pattern creates visual depth, while the brushed horizontal textures on the curved frame blend Eastern and Western influences, catching the light with a delicate lustre.
EMUI 15 experience
Beyond the standout design and cameras, the new EMUI 15 ensures the HUAWEI Pura 80 Series delivers a smart, secure and enjoyable user experience. AI-powered features include the ability to detect when the owner is looking at the screen. If someone else picks up the phone, message previews will be hidden and sent instead to the owner’s smartwatch. When taking a call in a noisy environment, the phone recognises your voice and filters out background noise for clear conversations.
Playful features such as Emoji Crush, interactive themes, Always-On Display customisation and lock screen mini-games bring fun and personality to the software.
Durability is also taken seriously. The Pura HUAWEI 80 Pro is protected by Kunlun Glass 2nd Generation, offering 20-times better drop resistance than standard glass. Powering it all is a large 5170 mAh battery, supported by 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge and 80W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge – so you can top up quickly and stay connected.
Dazzlingly bright display
On the front, the 6.8-inch Ultra-clear HUAWEI X-True Display™ shines with peak brightness levels of up to 3000 nits. Adaptive brightness ensures comfortable viewing whether indoors or under the South African sun, with crisp visuals at every level.
Audio is equally impressive. Large Amplitude Dual Speakers deliver detailed highs, deep bass, and crystal-clear vocals, creating an immersive experience whether you’re watching films or streaming music directly from your phone.
A flagship in its own right
With its striking glazed finish, bold colourways, and powerhouse camera system, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro makes a strong statement as a flagship for 2025.
