Huawei has just announced the Chinese launch of its Pura 80 flagship phone, and Ultra comes with a clever trick: a “switchable” dual-lens telephoto camera that allows two different lenses to share the same sensor.
You can see both the lenses on the side-by-side in the largest of the three camera rings on the 80 ultra rear, but they share more than just one habitat. Both lenses are attached to the same set of periscopic elements and the same image sensor, with a moving prism that directs the light from the chosen lens. This is a different approach Variable telephotos in some Sony Xperia phoneWhich use a single lens, but transfer parts of periscopic structure to change the zoom distance.
Pura 80 Ultra’s two lenses offer 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom – or 83 mm and 212 mm. The small lens has one f/2.4 aperture and Huawei’s imagination sheet It lists it as a 50-megapixel camera. The other lens is f/3.6 and eagerly, despite using the same sensor, listed with a small 12.5-megapixel resolution, suggesting that either sensor-crop or additional pixel-binning is going on when using that lens.
The combination of two telephoto lenses is not just a way to grab the headlines. Image sensors are one of the most expensive components in modern phones, so finding ways to use a sensor for many lenses can save costs in a long time. It is also a space saver, even by having two full periscopic systems. It can keep the phone slimmer, but also makes space for better components-the 1/1.28-inch-type sensor used here is larger than most telephotos offers, and possibly capable of new design.
Beyond the novel telephoto cameras, Pura 80 Ultra includes Huawei’s returning dynamic aperture design with a 50-megapixel main camera, as well as a 40-megapixel ultravide. A 6.8 -inch Ltpo OLED display, 5,700mAh battery, and the IP68 and 69 ratings round out the flagship species. It comes with storage up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB, but Huawei has not expanded the chipset that gives it strength – a privacy is this Be standard in the last few years As it develops its own chips in view of US sanctions.
Ultra has launched with three other phones: Pura 80, 80 Pro and 80 Pro Plus. All three have similar designs, and even the base model includes a triple rear camera, only a slightly small 6.6-inch Ltpo OLED screen, and a 5,600mAh battery. Pro and Pro Plus are the same size as ultra, and share its main cameras and ultravide, but each has a single 48-megapixel telephoto. Only one edge is found, there is little extra RAM and support for two types of satellite communication, although each Pura 80 phone can be connected to the Beidou satellite system.
