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

  • Exceptional camera system (main 1-inch sensor, macro telephoto) with excellent low-light performance and natural color reproduction across all lenses.
  • Stunning and premium design with outstanding build quality, an eye-catching glazed finish, and IP68 water/dust resistance.
  • Vibrant and bright 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, praised for clarity in daylight and sharp detail.
  • Solid all-day battery life (5,170mAh capacity) that holds up even with heavy use.
  • Ultra-fast charging capabilities (100W wired and 80W wireless), with the charger included in the box.
  • Smooth and responsive user experience in the native HarmonyOS/EMUI, with ample RAM and storage (512GB standard in some regions).
  • Google apps are accessible and can be installed relatively seamlessly via workarounds and the AppGallery.
  • Strong additional features like Wi-Fi 7, good stereo speakers, and a pre-applied screen protector.
  • Impressive zoom capabilities, including a 40x macro mode that captures intricate details.

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

  • Lack of 5G support in global models, considered a major drawback for a flagship device.
  • Overall performance (CPU and GPU) is noted to be on a mid-range level, lagging behind other flagships in the same price segment, especially for demanding games.
  • Software experience (Android 12-based EMUI 15) is seen as slightly dated compared to rivals, requiring a roundabout process to get some apps working perfectly.
  • High price tag, which combined with the connectivity and performance compromises, makes it a difficult choice over competitors like the Galaxy S25+ or iPhone 17 Pro Max.
  • The large camera module causes the phone to be wobbly on flat surfaces.
  • Video recording capabilities have some limitations, such as lack of log filming on the Pro model and some quality issues with ultra-wide and telephoto lenses compared to the main sensor.
  • Can be a heavy device, which might impact handling for users with smaller hands.

Verdict

The Huawei Pura 80 Pro (12GB + 1TB configuration) stands out as a high-end flagship device, powered by a Kirin 9010 processor and featuring an impressive 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its major pros include a highly advanced, versatile Ultra Lighting XMAGE camera system capable of stunning photography and reliable satellite communication features for connectivity in remote areas. A key con, however, is its reliance on Huawei's AppGallery instead of full Google Mobile Services (GMS), which may limit access to some popular Western apps.
