Huawei Pura 80 Ultra rumored to use dual periscope camera setup
A new Huawei Pura 80 Ultra rumor suggests that one of the experimental prototypes has a dual periscope camera setup. The company is not only testing primary camera sensors but also an advanced component to boost macrophotography experience.
Weibo tipster @DigitalChatStation has revealed that Huawei is evaluating a dual-periscope camera system for the Pura 80 Ultra flagship. If the latest rumor is accurate, consumers can witness impressive zooming capability and sharper images.
Apart from the tipster’s words, the device has even allegedly leaked in live images, showing off a dual periscope telephoto lens unit on the rear camera module.
The tipster adds that both periscope sensors will be of 50MP and use an RYYB filter. The Red-Yellow-Yellow-Blue filter captures more light than an RGGB filter.
It replaces two green filters with yellow color to build a wider spectrum of light to reach the sensor. These filters effectively boost the sensor’s sensitivity to light. It also reduces noise in low-light images, making them brighter and clearer.
Meanwhile, a dual-periscope camera will probably cover more or different focal lengths and create a better image-capturing scenario for consumers.

Note that the dual-periscope camera solution is still in the testing phase and hasn’t been implemented yet on the smartphone. But based on the leaked images, it seems Huawei could use this new technology for the upcoming flagship.
Currently, OPPO is the only brand to use a dual-periscope camera setup for its Find X8 Ultra smartphone. The device features a quad-cam system with a 50MP main lens, two 50MP periscope telephotos with 3x and 6x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide shooter.
Due to dual-periscope and better zooming capabilities, users can achieve smoother and clearer images irrespective of the lighting conditions. After OPPO, Huawei could pick this technology for the Pura 80 Ultra.
Huawei P series: Periscope Upgrade
The Chinese phone maker introduced an F2.1 Ultra Lighting Periscope Camera with the P60 Pro. It has been one of the biggest sensors used in a periscope device.
It can take up to 178% more light than its predecessor and 288% more light for the telephoto camera, compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Later, Huawei used an enhanced telephoto sensor with a retractable lens for the Pura 70 Ultra.
Thus, we can expect major enhancements to the camera segment with the Pura 80 Ultra.
