Performance
The Pura 80 Pro runs on the HiSilicon Kirin 9020, the same chip as the Ultra. It has eight cores with a top clock of 2.5GHz and a Maleoon 920 GPU. Every version has 12GB of RAM. China also gets 256GB and 1TB storage options. There is no microSD slot.

Cameras
The main camera has a 50MP 1-inch sensor with a variable f/1.6 to f/4.0 aperture and OIS. The 48MP telephoto offers 4x optical zoom, OIS and close-up macro shots. A 40MP ultrawide camera completes the setup. A spectral sensor with 1.5 million channels helps with color.

Should you buy the Pura 80 Pro?
The Pura 80 Pro fits photographers who want a 1-inch main sensor for less than the Ultra costs. It also offers a bright display, fast charging and IP69 protection. The trade-offs are the missing 5G and the lack of Google apps on the global model. Buyers who need long zoom should look at the Pura 80 Ultra instead.
