Vin Aigre, 22 May 2024So you are disappointed...
Yes we will see the Pura 80, ... moreOnly in size, ultra wide angle camera and lack of NM cards support.
Picture quality of wide angle camera is actually a bit better than P30. Although, it's not close to main camera and still bad in the night. Even base model of camera phone line up should have decent ultra wide angle camera.
But optical resolution is a downgrade. With P30 I could see subpixels on a screen. With P70 subpixels aren't visible. I used ultra wide angle camera a lot a magnifier to see inside small and dark things, like USB and other ports. I still can see in close ups things like almost invisible text and PCB details etc. This is doing very well, magnifying almost invisible letters up to entire screen. But looking deeper it's just not enough.
As an urban reporter I also use it a lot for urban photo. And it's just has to be better. It needs to improve for better light sensitivity - larger sensor, larger resolution and better optics to use that resolution. No, I'm not talking about inch-size sensor. Obviously, it won't fit into 147x70 mm form factor and would be expensive. But still not as small as this one.
Main camera is all the way better than P30 with noticeably wider dynamic range. Telephoto - completely outblowing P30. Capable of even doing night photos.
What else impresses is the screen. Can't even find words to express how well BOE evoluted with OLEDS. There is no more than slightly greenish tint. I use vivid profile with correction all the way to the right on the middle (at 3 o'clock). And it looks amazing. So neutral white.
I don't mind if 147x70 won't fit that large battery. 4000 mAh bettery would be enough, just make less power hungry SoC. Base model is not for gaming, so 6 core (2+4) and little less powerful GPU made with SMIC N+3 would be fine. What is important is more powerful IPU. They need to innovate ahead of their time, like Panasonic did with GH5. So they need something powerful enough to make 8K60 AV1/VP9 possible. And even on base models. This is the cameraphone line up after all.
I tried NM card, but no luck. Wouldn't see it. They need to keep pushing. Further into middle and budget. Even Lexar is doing NM cards now. And make a newer faster class.

Things to note. Telephoto camera reports 135 mm, not 125 mm. Although main camera report 27 mm, just as P30, P30 viewing angle is actually wider.
And while telephoto is an noticable improvement over P30, ultra wide camera isn't much better. They should finally bring decent ultra wide into base model. And they SHOULD make Pura 80 under 150x71! Pura 70 is big. Really difficult to operate it one hand.

if it's aliexpress that might... moreHuawei Store. And Huawei Online Store was offering it for 61000 rubles ($670) on preorder for old customers, but without additional gifts - just FreeBuds 3 Pro, magnetic case and display insurance with extended warranty. Now when it went on sale it cost 66000 ($725) rubles, but includes either FreeBuds 3 Pro or Huawei Watch GT 4 (not Watch 4 as on preorder) for additional 1000 rubles ($11), magnetic case and all those extended insurances and warranties. All prices includes 20% VAT.
Well, you see in 2022 UK office reject to work with Russia, so Huawei opened dedicated office.
A Gift Box, by the way, has laptop stand, stationery cup and a mouse pad.

Also got lots of gifts - FreeBuds 3 Pro, thermos bottle, backpack, magnetic case, Huawei Gift Box and 15 month display insurance. Those gifts cost at very least $270. So there phone itself is closer to $450. There was also an option with Huawei Watch 4 as a gift, but $10 more expensive.

I've contacted Huawei and they don't know. I think it's just a third party company running their customer service.
