Huawei Pura 80 Ultra review by DXOMARK Record 175
The phone posts a 180 Photo Score and a 166 Video Score. In addition, its telephoto system ranks first. Consequently, users can rely on detailed images in challenging lighting conditions and stable footage while on the move. Moreover, the device keeps the color natural while preserving the texture and shadow.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra Camera Capabilities
At the core, a 1‑inch Ultra Lighting HDR sensor captures clean detail in bright sun and dim rooms. Furthermore, a variable aperture balances portraits and group shots without fiddly settings. Most importantly, a Switchable Dual Telephoto (3.7x and 9.4x) maintains sharpness at distance. For example, city skylines and stage shots hold crisp edges with minimal noise. Meanwhile, close‑ups keep fine textures that usually blur on phones.
Video and Design, With AI
For video, advanced stabilisation and HDR mapping reduce shake and blown highlights. Therefore, creators can film concerts, travel clips, or interviews with confidence, knowing every frame stays smooth and balanced. In addition, upgraded low-light video modes preserve rich color and texture even under city lights or dim indoor settings. Moreover, the audio system captures clear sound with minimal distortion, ensuring voices and ambient tones remain natural.
Meanwhile, durability and design continue to set the device apart. Kunlun Glass improves drop resistance by up to 25x, giving users extra peace of mind in daily use. Furthermore, the sleek Prestige Gold and Prestige Black finishes combine elegance with practicality, making the phone both stylish and robust. Beyond hardware, AI Smart Controls simplify everyday tasks. For example, users can switch apps with gestures, share files instantly across devices, or present slides with a single tap. As a result, the device feels less like a phone and more like a creative hub designed for modern professionals.
Why It Matters for Creators
In practice, the phone shortens the gap between capture and delivery. For example, social teams can shoot, edit, and publish on the same device. Consequently, field reporters and influencers move faster with fewer accessories. In short, the Pura 80 Ultra DXOMARK result confirms a new standard for mobile imaging.
