Global Huawei Pura 80 Ultra now launching much earlier than expected

No matter what you think of Huawei, its passion for innovation remains undiminished. Following the world's first tri-foldable last fall, the Pura 80 series was recently unveiled, featuring the company's first camera sensors. In addition to the new and particularly dynamic 1-inch main sensor, the Pura 80 Ultra caused a stir with its unusual telephoto lens and interchangeable optics. And this is exactly what will come to international customers soon.

The Pura 80 series will be unveiled for the global market in Dubai on July 10, 2025, just one month after the Chinese launch. Apparently, Huawei has no time to lose and hopes to sell the Pura 80 Ultra to wealthy and adventurous users outside of China soon, because using a Huawei phone outside of China is no longer quite so easy.

For example, it is questionable whether EMUI will be used for the global market instead of the Android-free HarmonyOS 5, but there are workarounds for the missing Google services. In addition to the Pura 80 Ultra, there is also the Pura 80 Pro, Pura 80 Pro+ and the regular Pura 80 in China, all of which are equipped with the Kirin 9020, which is no match for a Snapdragon 8 Elite. True Huawei fans won't mind this, but given the high prices in China, buyers should weigh up for themselves whether the price/performance ratio is worth it.
