To recap, the handset is equipped with a 50MP variable aperture main sensor, 48MP periscope telephoto with 4x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultra‑wide lens.

The device also carries HUAWEI’s XMAGE imaging technology for enhanced optics and processing. On the front, it features a 13MP selfie camera with 3D ToF optics, making it versatile for both photography and vlogging.

The back design of the Mate 80 Pro

In our experience, the Mate 80 Pro delivers sharp, vibrant, and natural‑looking photos across different modes. Daylight shots look professional, wide‑angle images avoid distortion, and zoom performance up to 100x is supported by AI for improved detail.

Night mode captures dramatic lighting with minimal noise, while portrait mode offers clear subject separation. Features like Super Macro, AI Remove, and AI Best Expression add creative flexibility, while video recording supports up to 4K at 60fps with stabilization options for smooth vlogs.
