The dual focal lengths on the secondary sensor likely offer two levels of optical zoom, a rare feature on non-Pro models. The setup also includes Huawei’s XMAGE branding and an LED flash on a triangular camera module. Leaks also suggest the Pura 80 Pro might feature a SmartSens 1-inch sensor, hinting at a flagship camera experience across the lineup.

Design-wise, the Pura 80 series will evolve the rounded triangular (shield-like) camera module seen on the Pura 70 series. This time, it’s expected to be even larger and more prominent, especially on the Pura 80 Ultra, which might house two periscope telephoto cameras.
