Huawei Pura 80 Ultra vs Pura 70 Ultra: Major camera differences to expect
Huawei is unveiling the Pura 80 Ultra flagship next week, alongside its other Pura siblings, with major camera differences over its predecessor. As per the official and leaked info, the next-gen flagship models will take photography to a new level.
The Chinese phone maker usually keeps its first half of the year vacant for the P or Pura series. Starting with the all-new Pura X vertical foldable, the company is now ready to surprise its consumers with some top-notch imaging capabilities.
Let’s take a look at what expected camera differences the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra can bring over its predecessor.
Camera Design
Pura 70 Ultra has a giant camera module on the back. It shows a triangle-camera outlook with a separate “XMAGE branding” plate on one of the angle. It featured a retractable lens, making the overall photo-capturing more efficient.
Based on the Pura 80 Pro+ official image, the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra will seemingly feature a wider and thicker camera bump on the back. It may have larger lens rings inside the imaging module and could show XMAGE branding in a new way.

While the entire lineup could stick to the triangular module, just like the previous-gen models, the Pura 80 Ultra may show shifts in the triangle layout, probably with more curvy corners. Also, the module could cover half of the device’s back.
Number of Camera Lenses
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra lands on the ground with three major lens sensors: a 50MP primary, a 40MP ultrawide-angle shooter, and a 50MP periscope-telephoto. But this time, the company will likely use a quad-camera system for all four models.
Early rumors hint that the Pura 80 Ultra is taking inspiration from the old flagship, P40 Pro+. The device may use 5 camera sensors, including a main camera, an ultrawide shooter, two periscope camera sensors, and a multi-spectral lens.
New Camera Sensors
Pura 70 Ultra comes with outstanding camera sensors. It uses a Sony IMX 989 50MP main shooter and two OmniVision lenses. But this time, the company could use only Chinese components for its handsets. These lenses can be:
- Pura 80 Ultra: LOFIC-based main camera + 1/1.3-inch largest periscope RYYB sensor
- Pura 80 Pro/Pro+: SC5A0CS 50MP main camera
- Standard Pura 80: 50MP 1/1.3-inch (probably OmniVision OV50K)
Dual-Periscope Unit
Huawei has surprised its consumers every time with the introduction of an advanced periscope camera in the P series phones. And the Pura 80 series won’t be an exception to this theory. As per leaked details, the device will use a dual-periscope unit.

Based on the leaked and official images, the high-end Pura 80 models can bring two periscope telephoto cameras with a 20x optical zoom. Check the full details below.
Pura 70 Ultra introduced a retractable lens. However, the company will likely skip this technology for the Pura 80 series. Instead, the show stealer will be the dual-periscope camera unit.
Multi-spectral lens
Last but not least, the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra can bring a multi-spectral lens to the table, unlike the Pura 70 Ultra. The tech giant may use an upgraded multi-spectral camera for the flagship lineup to offer more vibrant and enriched quality images.
Conclusion
Huawei is constantly increasing the photography standard for its rivals in the market. Pura 70 Ultra won the global camera smartphone ranking on the DXOMARK database. Let’s see whether Pura 80 Ultra will be able to maintain this position or not.
