Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Pura 80 (12GB + 1TB)

  • Industry-leading camera performance featuring a 1-inch main sensor and a unique switchable dual-telephoto lens system
  • Outstanding photography results with high detail retention, accurate exposure, and natural skin tones across various lighting conditions
  • Premium build quality and elegant design using durable materials like Kunlun Glass and IP68 water/dust resistance
  • High-quality 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with vibrant colors and peak brightness reaching up to 3,000 nits
  • Fast charging capabilities, supporting up to 100W wired and 80W wireless charging on higher models

What we don't like about Huawei Pura 80 (12GB + 1TB)

  • Lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS) and official Google Play Store support due to ongoing trade restrictions
  • Processor performance (Kirin 9020) lags significantly behind contemporary flagships, performing more like a mid-range chipset
  • Absence of 5G support in some international markets (e.g., European/German models)
  • High retail price (approx. €1,200) compared to competitors with better software and connectivity
  • Software experience is based on an older Android 12 foundation with limited AI features and uncertain update support for global units

Verdict

The Huawei Pura 80 with 12GB RAM and 1TB (1TB) storage is a flagship smartphone focused heavily on its advanced imaging capabilities, featuring a 50MP main camera with a variable aperture and a 12MP periscope telephoto lens, alongside a 1-120 Hz adaptive 6.6-inch LTPO OLED display and a 5,600mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging support. Key pros include its exceptional camera hardware, vibrant and tough Kunlun Glass 2nd Generation display, and very fast charging speeds. The main cons for international users are the absence of Google Mobile Services (GMS), meaning Google apps and services are not natively supported, and the chipset lacks 5G connectivity outside of China, limiting network potential in global markets.
