Huawei unveils Pura 80 series smartphones with innovative camera
Originally rebranded in 2024, the Pura series combines avant-garde design with high-performance mobile technology and photography. Chinese tech giant Huawei launched its Pura 80 smartphone series as it takes on the competition for camera photography prowess. The company launched the new smartphones, including the Huawei MatePad 11.5 tablet, on a hot Thursday evening in Dubai, UAE. Huawei's launch comes a day after Samsung launched its new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 7 series, as the drive to gain market share intensifies. Pura 80 Originally rebranded in 2024, the Pura series combines avant-garde design with high-performance mobile technology and photography. One of the standout features of the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is the onboard artificial intelligence (AI), which allows the phone to process images using AI without the need for internet connectivity or data. The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Ultra versions are equipped with a 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR camera. ALSO READ: [REVIEW] Huawei Mate XT: No tri-fold gimmick smartphone, but it's pricey Switchable camera Paired with the pixel-level colour calibration of the Ultra Chroma Camera, it delivers clear photos with remarkably accurate colour reproduction. Notably, the Pura 80 Ultra introduces the industry-first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera, combining a large sensor with a dual telephoto lens for capturing clear shots at any distance. Photography Huawei CBG Peter Feng told The Citizen the Pura 80 series is defining the future of mobile imaging. 'We are not only providing the AI functionality when it comes to the camera. When it comes to the Pura 80 Ultra, it has a switchable dual lens. We put more than 140 precision components inside. So, it's very precise. 'This is a very powerful camera system because we can support this on the device with physical activity and functionality to give you the best shot ever before,' Feng said. Tablet With the convergence of education and technology, Huawei said the MatePad 11.5 is designed for both ambitious students and professionals entering the workforce. It has a 2.5K resolution with PaperMatte display, housed in an ultra-thin 6.1 mm frame, powered by a 10,100 mAh battery. There is also the M-Pencil (3rd generation), which introduces magnetic wireless charging. Pricing and availability Huawei said pricing for the Pura 80 series smartphones and MatePad 11.5 will be announced soon. South Africa will be getting the Pura 80 Pro and Ultra, which will be available in black gold and red. The new devices are expected to be available in South Africa from 7 August. Restrictions With the launch of the new Huawei Pura 80 series, Huawei is seeking to cement its comeback in China and global premium smartphone market following years of US sanctions. The Pura 80 series launch demonstrates Huawei's continued efforts to reclaim the top spot ahead of Samsung, Apple and Honour, who have gained significant market share due to the lack of Google services as a result of US sanctions. Each new smartphone launch from Huawei is closely watched as a barometer of the company's technological capabilities and market resilience following years of restrictions that severely impacted its smartphone business.

Lotus Doubles Down on Hybrids After EV Setback
View post: I Drove the 2025 Mazda CX90 & 2025 Ford Explorer, Which One is Best? Here's My Brutally Honest Review View post: Walmart is selling a 'handy' $66 171-piece tool kit for just $30, and it has 'pretty much everything you need' Change of Heart: From EVs to Hybrids At the end of 2024, Lotus stepped back from its headline-grabbing plan to become an EV-only brand. After years of EV-centric messaging, the British sports car maker admitted what many others in the industry are also starting to face: demand for premium electric vehicles isn't as strong or consistent as initially hoped. In response, Lotus is now taking a more flexible approach to electrification, revisiting hybrid technology as a core part of its future. CEO Feng Qingfeng confirmed during the company's Q1 earnings call that Lotus is 'investigating the feasibility' of sports cars using a new 'Hyper Hybrid' plug-in system. The Emira's hybrid future is also taking shape, with more insights about its future electrified heart. Of note, sales for Lotus dropped 42% in the first quarter of 2025, down to just 1,274 cars globally. This is due to various factors, including weak demand for EVs and the U.S. tariffs. With these predicaments, the pivot is less about abandoning electrification entirely and more about reshaping it to suit current market conditions. Hyper-Hybrid Eletre in the Works According to Feng, the Hyper Hybrid powertrain features a 900V battery system with front and rear electric motors, capable of fast-charging from 10-80% in 12 minutes. It offers up to 186 miles of EV-only range and a total range exceeding 620 miles. Crucially, it qualifies as a true plug-in hybrid, not a range-extender – the engine powers the wheels directly. Autocar reports that the first production model to carry Lotus' new Hyper Hybrid system will be a variant of the Eletre SUV. Feng said it will debut in late 2025, with deliveries scheduled for Q1 2026. The combustion engine won't be the familiar Toyota V6 or AMG 2.0L turbo currently used in the Emira, though Lotus hasn't confirmed what will replace them. Electrified Emira to Ignite Demand As for the Emira, it remains the backbone of the brand, accounting for more than 5,000 of Lotus' 12,000 global sales last year. It recently received an update for the 2026 model year, reflecting the automaker's focus on its main mover. Speaking to Auto Express, Lotus Europe CEO Matt Windle hinted at hybrid plans for the mid-engined coupe. Packaging will be important, though, considering the Emira's relatively compact size, expect a system similar in layout to the Ferrari 296 GTB or McLaren Artura.

We've known that a V8-powered Emira is likely happening to replace the aging Toyota V6 once emissions rules tighten, though it's unclear whether this monster of a power plant will be used for the hybrid setup. The timeline for the Emira is still unclear at this point, but given Lotus' recent lackluster sales, the automaker needs to move quickly. It will also help if it resolves its current issues with tariffs, considering that America represents a substantial chunk of its sales. About the Author Jacob Oliva View Profile
