Almost every year, the same story is told. The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, a Huawei flagship that is technically unique on the smartphone market because to its unusual dual-lens telephoto construction, leads the DxOMark rankings in 2025. Charges of corruption in DxOMark’s purportedly impartial scoring methodology and criticism of Huawei’s continuously dominant position are frequent. This year is no different, with criticism and misunderstanding predominating in the comments section of an official social media post.
In the most recent Huawei Pura 80 Ultra camera test, the Chinese manufacturer set a new record with a total score of 175 points. The Oppo Find X8 Ultra and the Vivo X200 Ultra came in second and third, respectively, a considerable distance behind. In the portrait, low light, indoor, and outdoor photography categories, the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra scores highly. Given the Pura 80 Ultra’s advanced telephoto solution, the Vivo X200 Ultra’s one-point victory in the newly released DxOMark test report was just in the zoom category.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra camera has now drawbacks
The testers’ criticisms of Huawei’s flagship model are remarkably limited. Only sporadic exposure and color fidelity instability, somewhat odd texturing in challenging lighting conditions, and certain image distortions like ghosting in video mode are listed as drawbacks. The current Pura flagship’s camera performs admirably in every other situation. Its strong dynamic range and, according to the test report, its superb color reproduction in challenging scenes—which is reportedly noticeably better than that of its competitors—are praised.
Additionally, specifically listed as benefits are skin tones, detail, focusing, video stabilization, and the ultra-wide-angle camera. The test result states that there is very minimal noise in the images taken in low light. Many comparison images are included in the whole test report so that interested readers may determine whether the significant ranking difference between Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, and other companies is truly warranted.
