Inside look at Huawei Pura 80 Ultra’s camera tech

The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, recently launched, has already been taken apart in a fascinating teardown by tech expert Yang Changshun. In a 14-minute video, which took about an hour to complete, he carefully disassembles the phone to reveal its innovative camera system. The highlight is the dual zoom camera, a unique feature that makes this phone stand out. The Pura 80 Ultra’s camera uses a 50MP 1/1.28-inch sensor paired with two lenses: an 83mm f/2.4 lens for 3.7x zoom and a 212mm f/3.6 lens for 9.4x zoom.

These lenses move using a motorized system made up of around 140 tiny parts, allowing the camera to switch between different zoom levels. This clever design lets the mid-tele lens use the full 50MP sensor, while the telephoto lens covers 12.5MP, delivering sharp and detailed photos. This teardown gives us a peek into Huawei’s advanced engineering, showing how they’ve packed such complex technology into a sleek smartphone.

The Pura 80 Ultra is currently available for pre-order in China, with shipping starting on June 26. While the video focuses on the camera, it also highlights the phone’s premium build and attention to detail, making it a strong contender in the flagship market. For anyone curious about cutting-edge smartphone tech, this teardown is a must-watch. It showcases Huawei’s bold approach to camera innovation, setting a high bar for competitors.
