Huawei Pura 80 Ultra Teardown Reveals Incredible Dual Zoom Lens Tech
Just days after the official unveiling of the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, tech enthusiasts are getting a rare look inside the flagship device—thanks to a detailed teardown by YouTuber Yang Changshun.
The teardown, which took about an hour in real time, is compressed into a 14-minute video that explores the intricate internals of Huawei’s latest innovation. The star of the show? The motorized dual-zoom camera module with movable lenses, a feat never before seen at this level in a smartphone.
Dissecting the Future of Smartphone Cameras
Using a microscope for precision, Changshun opens up the groundbreaking zoom module. The unit houses two telephoto lenses:
- An 83mm f/2.4 lens (3.7x zoom)
- A 212mm f/3.6 lens (9.4x zoom)
Both lenses are mounted over a 1/1.28-inch sensor—the largest sensor ever paired with a motorized zoom system in a smartphone. One lens covers the full 50MP imager, while the longer zoom focuses on 12.5MP of the sensor, allowing for high-resolution captures across multiple focal lengths.
Huawei’s engineering team packed around 140 mechanical parts into this module, including motors that physically move the lenses for dynamic focal range adjustment. This makes the Pura 80 Ultra not just a smartphone—but a miniature optical marvel.
Cutting-Edge Tech Beyond the Camera
The Pura 80 Ultra also features the new Kirin 9020 chipset, delivering powerful AI and imaging capabilities. The switchable lens system, combined with this hardware, positions the phone at the forefront of mobile photography innovation.
If camera tech matters to you, this teardown is a must-watch. It gives rare insight into Huawei’s drive to challenge the boundaries of mobile optics.Huawei Pura 80
