This is the craziest phone camera we have seen so far!
It's almost the size of a small phone itself, slapped on the back of the new Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, and loudly proclaiming one thing: this phone is a CAMERA phone, all caps.
But how does it stack up against the popular Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra? Let's see if Huawei's new camera phone sets a new standard indeed.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra vs Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera Specs:
| Huawei Pura 80 Ultra | Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra |
|---|---|
| Main Camera 50MP, f/1.6-f/4.0 23mm | Main Camera 200MP, f/1.7 24mm |
| Ultra-wide 40MP, f/2.2 13mm | Ultra-wide Camera 50MP, f/1.9 13mm |
| Telephoto 1 3.7X zoom | Telephoto 1 3X zoom 10MP, f/2.4 |
| Telephoto 2 9.4X zoom | Telephoto 2 5X zoom 50MP, f/3.4 |
| Front Camera 13MP | Front Camera 12MP |
While we don't like focusing on numbers alone, we have to mention that Huawei includes some truly stunning hardware. The 1-inch main camera sensor is much bigger than the 1/1.3-inch sensor on the Galaxy, and Huawei still uses its own RYYB sensor with that special color filter that promises incredible dynamic range of 16 stops.
But the real star of the show is the world's first switchable dual telephoto camera. You get 3.7x lens and a 10x lens both based on one big 1/1.28-inch sensor. This is the biggest sensor used on a telephoto lens so far! Huawei has achieves this with some incredibly clever engineering: you have a built-in light-blocking mechanism driven by a tiny motor.
Basically, this is a dual-prism design and it saves space because you don't need two separate periscope systems. You can even hear the motor switching between lenses (Huawei says it is very reliable, having passed 180,000 tests).
But let's see what that actually means for your pictures:
