Huawei Pura 80 Pro review: A switchable-sensor telephoto and Kirin power — Huawei's 2025 camera statement.
Camera genius, software penalty.
Pura 80 Pro's switchable-sensor telephoto and variable-aperture 1/1.3" main produce some of the most distinctive images on any phone, and the charging and ingress specs are flagship-grade. The Kirin chip and the missing Google services define the ceiling: in China it's a star, elsewhere it's a specialist's import.
