HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra announced: It comes with two telephoto zoom ranges in one lens

Tech giant HUAWEI today released its newest line of high-end Pura 80 smartphones, which includes its flagship "Ultra" model.

The new zoom king?

As expected, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra is a camera-centric smartphone featuring some of the most innovative imaging specs we've seen yet.

In particular, the device features a large 1-inch 50MP RYYB primary camera with its variable aperture lens technology that can do f/1.6 to 4.0 snaps.

HUAWEI said that this uses the TCG triple-real-time fusion technology, which increases the dynamic range to the highest 16EV. This makes the phone spot almost any light condition and capture it as realistically as possible.

What's new? It now has a promising switchable tele lens with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor size. Basically, it has two periscope lenses in one. It can do an optical 3.7x and 9.4x zoom.

HUAWEI achieved this by incorporating a prism that shifts between two lenses as needed. 

The end result is similar to Sony's variable telephoto system, but with different technologies used.

The exact resolution used wasn't mentioned, but the company claims that this is the largest telephoto camera in the industry.

But based on its previous teaser, this might be a very good zoom camera phone.

The rest of the specs

Other specs revealed about the phone include 16GB RAM, 512GB or 1TB internal storage, and a large 5,700mAh battery capacity paired with USB-C 100W fast charging and 80W wireless charging.

Similar to its previous releases, the company didn't mention the exact processor used.

It runs with HarmonyOS Next out of the box.
