Huawei Pura 80 teasers hint at updated periscope lens

Huawei is set to launch its Pura 80 series in China next week, and the teaser campaign is ramping up. The latest additions are a pair of videos that highlight the Pura 80's photography prowess and specifically the periscope telephoto sensor.

The first video highlights the advancements in its XMAGE imaging brand. The video shows all of Huawei’s P and Mate series flagships dating back to the Huawei P9 and ends with a brief but exciting teaser for the upcoming Pura 80 series.

Huawei also shared another video, which puts one of the new Pura 80 models in the spotlight. We get a close-up of the device’s multi-focal lengths, including 2x (48mm) and 3.7x (89mm) options, which are likely the optical zoom levels. The teaser also shows 10x (240mm) and 20x zoom options near the end, which are likely hybrid zoom.

As per the most recent rumors, the Pura 80 Pro and Ultra will offer a 1-inch type main sensor with variable aperture and an RYYB color filter. The main shooter is expected to be complemented by a 1/1.3-inch 50MP periscope sensor and a 50MP ultrawide lens.
