Huawei’s upcoming Pura 80 series just stole the spotlight in an unexpected way. During a high-profile car launch, a company executive inadvertently revealed what appears to be the Pura 80 Ultra, giving fans a glimpse of its new camera design. With whispers of a June launch swirling, here’s what this slip-up tells us about Huawei’s next flagship.
On May 30, 2025, Huawei and JAC unveiled the MAEXTRO S800, an electric sedan, at a consumer event packed with cutting-edge tech demos. At the event, He Gang — CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group — was caught on camera holding an unreleased device, believed to be part of the Pura 80 series. Its camera setup suggests it’s a high-end model.
It’s believed to be the much anticipated Pura 80 Ultra, sporting a massive triangular camera module that dominates the back. Unlike the Pura 70 series, this bump is wider, and is speculated to house dual-periscope cameras. This is paired with a 1-inch SmartSens SC5A0CS main sensor, an ultra-wide, and an LED flash. For those confused, the camera cutout on the top includes two lenses.
The phone’s design keeps the Pura line’s signature plain leather back, with Huawei’s logo in the bottom-right corner and power/volume buttons on the right edge. The dual-periscope system aligns with earlier leaks from tipster Fixed Focus Digital, who hyped the Pura 80 Ultra’s “terrifying” videography potential.
This “accidental” reveal suggests a launch is imminent, with pre-orders reportedly opening post-Dragon Boat Festival (June 2) and sales starting in July. Running HarmonyOS 5, the Pura 80 Ultra aims to challenge rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra.
