Huawei Pura 80 Pro Plus

The Huawei Pura 80 Pro Plus has a non-folding, traditional slab form factor measuring 163 mm tall, 76.1 mm wide, and 8.3 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 102.96 cm³ and a weight of 219 g. One of its notable physical attributes is its IP68-rated waterproofing, meaning the device is fully protected against water immersion under defined conditions. It does not feature a rugged build, so while it handles water exposure confidently, it carries a standard consumer-grade construction otherwise.

The Huawei Pura 80 Pro Plus features a 6.8″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1276 x 2848 px and a pixel density of 459 ppi, delivering a sharp and detailed image across its large panel. Typical brightness reaches 2500 nits, and the display operates at a 120Hz refresh rate paired with a 300Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input. The screen is protected by branded damage-resistant glass and supports an Always-On Display mode. It does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen on the device.

The device is driven by the HiSilicon Kirin 9010 chipset, built on a 7 nm process with a thermal design power of 6W and an octa-core CPU configuration running at 1 x 2.3, 4 x 2.18, and 3 x 1.55 GHz, with a turbo clock speed reaching 3.3GHz using big.LITTLE technology. It is paired with 16GB of RAM at 2750 MHz and 1024GB of internal storage, while the maximum memory bandwidth stands at 44 GB/s. The Mali-G57 handles graphics duties as an integrated GPU, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2, with integrated LTE also present on the SoC. The processor is 64-bit capable and includes ARM TrustZone for hardware-level security. Cache allocation consists of 64 KB L1, 0.512 MB L2 at 0.256 MB per core, and 4 MB L3 at 2 MB per core, while ECC memory is not supported.

The main camera system is a multi-lens setup combining three CMOS sensors at 50MP, 48MP, and 40MP with wide apertures of f/1.6, f/2.1, and f/2.2 respectively, supported by optical image stabilization and 4x optical zoom. Autofocus options include phase-detection, laser, and touch autofocus, with continuous autofocus also available during video recording. Video capture reaches up to 4K at 30fps, with additional support for slow-motion recording, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. The rear flash uses a dual-tone LED arrangement with two LEDs, though an RGB flash is not included. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, shutter speed, focus, and white balance, and the camera also supports RAW capture, burst mode, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas — though 360-degree panorama shooting and 3D photo/video are not supported. The 13MP front camera sits at f/2.0 and is positioned conventionally on the front of the device, without an under-display placement, a secondary front lens, or a front-facing flash.

The operating system offers a solid set of personalization and usability features, including theme customization, dark mode, widgets, and customizable notifications, giving users meaningful control over their experience. Split-screen multitasking is supported alongside multi-user functionality, voice commands, sharing intents, and a child lock for restricted access. Privacy-conscious users benefit from camera and microphone access controls, and the device includes both battery health monitoring and mobile tracking capabilities. On the other hand, it does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor, does not support AirPlay, and cannot be used as a PC replacement.

The device houses a 5700 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a battery level indicator built in. Wired fast charging tops out at 100W, while wireless charging runs at 80W — both notably rapid options — and a charger is included in the box. Reverse wireless charging is also supported at 20W, allowing the device to share power with other compatible accessories or devices.

Audio output is handled through stereo speakers, and Bluetooth wireless audio benefits from LDAC support for high-quality wireless transmission. The device does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, nor does it support aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, or aptX Lossless codecs. There is also no built-in radio.

The device supports 5G cellular connectivity alongside dual SIM capability, and wireless networking covers Wi-Fi 4 through Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) for broad compatibility. Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC are both present, and the USB interface uses a Type-C connector running at USB 3.1. A fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included. Navigation is covered by GPS and Galileo, and onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, and infrared sensor. A notable safety feature is emergency SOS via satellite, though crash detection is not supported. External memory expansion, HDMI output, ANT+, a heart rate monitor, a built-in projector, motion tracking, optical tracking, DLNA certification, and a stylus are all absent.

The device includes a video light for illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper screen are part of the design.
