Huawei Pura 80 Ultra: Huawei is gearing up to shake up the premium smartphone market with the upcoming Pura 80 Ultra, and what makes this flagship truly special is its first-ever in-house camera sensor under the XMAGE brand. Designed to push the boundaries of mobile photography, this device is set to deliver groundbreaking camera performance for users who demand pro-level results from their smartphone.
Huawei Build with HDR system
The star of the show is a 50MP high-resolution sensor, enhanced with Huawei’s latest Super Pix Gain HDR 2.0 technology. This advanced HDR system smartly fuses three frames captured at the same exposure to eliminate ghosting and achieve ultra-clean, balanced shots even in extreme lighting conditions. Thanks to this innovation, Huawei able to a significantly wider dynamic range of up to 110dB, outclassing even some of Omni Vision’s top competitors.
Powerful Sensor Options
According to early leaks, Huawei is working with two XMAGE-branded sensors: the 1-inch SC5A0CS and the more mainstream 1/1.3-inch SC590XS. Both feature a 50MP resolution with a unique RYYB color array, allowing more light intake than traditional sensors. While it’s unclear which one will be used, at least one is expected to be featured in the Pura 80 Ultra.


Delays, But Worth the Wait
Although the Pura 80 Ultra’s launch is reportedly delayed compared to the earlier Pura 70 Ultra, insiders suggest that the wait will be well worth it, especially for mobile photography enthusiasts. Huawei appears to be taking its time to perfect this game-changing hardware before bringing it to market.
What’s Next for XMAGE?
Huawei’s sensor development isn’t stopping here. Sources indicate that the next-generation Mate 70 series, expected in late 2025, may also benefit from these cutting-edge XMAGE sensors setting a new benchmark for smartphone camera performance moving forward.
