Summary

  • Chinese tech firm Huawei has launched a range of Pura 80 flagship phones in China, with the top-of-the-range Ultra featuring a “switchable” dual-lens telephoto camera.
  • The two zoom lenses share the same image sensor, with a movable prism directing light from the chosen lens.
  • This could potentially save on manufacturing costs and also allows for a slimmer handset, whilst also accommodating a larger sensor, which is better for low light images.
  • The Ultra launched alongside the Pura 80, 80 Pro and 80 Pro Plus, all of which have similar designs.
  • The Pro and Pro Plus models have a single 48-megapixel telephoto lens, whilst the regular Pura 80 is yet to be priced.
