Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ showcased with massive camera in first official promo image

The release date for the Huawei Pura 80 series has been officially confirmed and is fast approaching. With less than one week left to go before launch, the Chinese tech giant has offered an early look at the design of the Pro+ model, positioned just below the flagship Pura 80 Ultra. The phone looks very similar to its predecessor in a one key detail – its triangular camera module. In the promotional image, the module seems slightly larger than the one on the Pura 70 Pro+, though this may be due to the perspective. The phone’s actual dimensions have yet to be revealed.

The Pura 80 Pro+ appears to once again feature three large cameras, accompanied by sensors for colour temperature and laser autofocus. One notable change is that the camera on the left is slightly offset to make room in the camera hole for a second, considerably smaller sensor. Huawei continues to embrace a gently curved frame design, defying the industry-wide trend towards flat-edge smartphones. Aside from the HarmonyOS logo, the teaser doesn't reveal any technical specifications. However, a lot of new camera technology is expected to be introduced, at least on the Pura 80 Ultra.

In recent days, various leakers have spotlighted Huawei’s newly developed camera sensor technology. In particular, the company’s first one-inch sensor could prove to be an exciting piece of hardware. The rumoured dual-periscope telephoto lens on the Ultra model could be another interesting innovation to watch out for, as long as it materialises. However, recent speculations have shifted more towards a dual-focus periscope camera. According to renowned leaker Digital Chat Station, the Pura 80 Pro+ will feature a 50 MP triple camera setup, a new multispectral sensor, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
