HUAWEI once again asserts its dominance in mobile imaging as the newly launched HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra achieves a historic milestone by securing the highest DXOMARK score ever recorded: 175 points. This groundbreaking achievement places the device a full 6 points ahead of its closest competitor, solidifying HUAWEI’s position as the global leader in smartphone photography. The accolade is driven by an unmatched Photo Score of 180, a record-equaling Video Score of 166, and the best telephoto performance ever recorded by DXOMARK.

Since its global debut in July 2025, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra has captivated both professional photographers and mobile imaging enthusiasts. It delivers cutting-edge camera innovation that seamlessly merges scientific precision with creative freedom. Representing the pinnacle of HUAWEI’s imaging legacy, the Pura 80 Ultra pushes the boundaries of what smartphone cameras can achieve, offering users a truly transformative photography experience.

Mastering Light and Detail: The 180 Photo Score Phenomenon

DXOMARK, renowned for its rigorous camera assessments, awarded the Pura 80 Ultra an exceptional 180 Photo Score, highlighting the device’s superior light processing and detail preservation. The 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR Camera offers an industry-leading 16EV dynamic range, making it effortless to capture visually complex scenes. Whether shooting bonfire dancers silhouetted against glowing flames or portrait subjects bathed in soft dusk light, the Pura 80 Ultra delivers images with natural clarity, vivid detail, and exceptional tonal balance, all in a single exposure.

Portrait photography is taken to new heights with intelligent AI segmentation that captures every strand of hair and delicate accessory with stunning accuracy. The camera’s variable aperture (f/1.6–f/4.0) adjusts intelligently depending on the shot, ensuring perfect focus whether you're capturing individual portraits or group images. Even in candlelit environments, facial textures remain lifelike and skin tones appear naturally luminous, offering professional-level quality straight out of the phone.

Leading the Telephoto Game with Dual Innovation

HUAWEI’s innovation continues with the world’s first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera, which earned the highest telephoto rating ever from DXOMARK. By integrating 3.7x medium and 9.4x super-telephoto lenses into one optical system, the Pura 80 Ultra delivers unmatched versatility and clarity at any zoom level. From capturing ornate architectural carvings hundreds of meters away to freezing the sweat-lined expressions of performers on distant stages, the telephoto system produces DSLR-level sharpness and detail.

Even at extreme magnifications exceeding 10x, where competitors typically falter, the Pura 80 Ultra maintains outstanding color fidelity and exposure balance. Whether it’s isolating the shimmer of Himalayan snowcaps or capturing wildlife in low-light settings, the camera’s precision optics and advanced algorithms deliver consistent and vivid results.

Unrivaled Video Performance with a 166 DXOMARK Score

Video performance on the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra is equally groundbreaking. Scoring 166 on DXOMARK, the device ties for the highest video score ever and improves by 10 points over its predecessor. Its Ultra Lighting HDR Camera ensures cinematic-quality dynamic range and shadow detail, turning difficult shooting conditions, such as backlit portraits or fire-lit environments into beautifully layered visuals. The camera adapts lighting on the fly, allowing for balanced compositions that maintain clarity in both subject and background.

HUAWEI’s advanced stabilization technology mimics cinematic techniques by anticipating user movement, making handheld video capture smoother than ever. The 9.4x telephoto zoom works flawlessly in video mode, enabling wildlife filmmakers and concert videographers to document scenes from extreme distances without losing sharpness. With AI motion tracking, the camera keeps subjects in crisp focus even amid dramatic lighting shifts and rapid movement.

Ultra Chroma XMAGE: Color Accuracy Meets Artistic Expression

Underpinning the camera’s excellence is HUAWEI’s Ultra Chroma XMAGE imaging system, which uses over 1.5 million multi-spectral channels to deliver industry-best color fidelity. Skin tones appear radiant under any lighting, from neon-soaked city streets to sunset backdrops, while natural scenery retains its true colors and depth. This next-generation color science is a key driver behind the Pura 80 Ultra’s record-setting imaging scores, delivering true-to-life visuals that mirror what the human eye perceives.

Stylish Durability and Intuitive Design Innovation

Beyond its imaging prowess, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra shines with a fashion-forward yet durable design. The refined Forward Symbol Design, now accentuated with sunburst motifs and golden accents, is available in Prestige Gold and Prestige Black finishes. The inclusion of Second-Gen Crystal Armor Kunlun Glass offers a staggering 25x increase in drop resistance, combining luxury aesthetics with practical resilience.

The device also introduces the AI Smart Controls Button, streamlining the creative process by making core functions instantly accessible. With EMUI 15, users enjoy playful interactions, such as animated lockscreen emojis that respond to touch, making the overall user experience feel both intelligent and delightful.

Global Enthusiasm and Creative Adoption

Since launch, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra has received overwhelming global acclaim. It has quickly become a favorite among photographers seeking uncompromising camera performance. Recognized as a “Camera Master” by Gizmochina Picks, the Pura 80 Ultra is more than just a smartphone—it’s a full-fledged creative tool that empowers users to tell their stories with depth, color, and clarity. Its popularity underscores HUAWEI’s vision that technology should unlock creativity, not limit it.

With its deep integration of hardware and software, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra is a testament to the brand’s decades-long commitment to imaging innovation.
