Huawei's new phone combines dual telephoto lenses

Huawei just dropped its new flagship, the Pura 80 Ultra. The big highlight? A clever dual-lens telephoto camera that uses one sensor for both 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom—so you get crisp shots at different distances without the bulky hardware. It runs HarmonyOS 5.1 and starts at CNY9,999 (about $1,390).

TL;DR

Flagship specs and tough build

You're looking at a 50MP main camera, a 40MP ultrawide, and that standout telephoto setup. There's up to 1TB storage, a beefy 5,700mAh battery, and a super-bright display hitting up to 3,000 nits. The phone is built tough with Kunlun Glass 2 and is rated IP68/IP69 for water resistance.

A fresh take on zoom photography

Instead of Sony's moving-lens tech, Huawei's shared-sensor design keeps things slim while giving you more zoom options—making it pretty appealing if phone photography matters to you. With 16GB RAM on board too, this one's definitely built for power users who want something fresh in their pocket.
