See colour as it was meant to be
The True-to-Colour Camera System of the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro addresses some of mobile photography’s biggest challenges, including accurate colour reproduction across varied lighting conditions, delivering consistent and true-to-life colours in any environment. Its larger pixel size significantly boosts light intake, ensuring precise colours and fine detail even in low-light scenarios. Colour consistency is maintained seamlessly when switching between the main, ultra-wide and telephoto lenses.
From dramatic backlit portraits to the subtle tones of a sunset, capturing detail across extremes of light and distance has long posed challenges for smartphone photography. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro addresses this with advanced DCG HDR technology, enhancing dynamic range by up to 300% to preserve both highlight detail and shadow colour without distortion.
At the same time, its 5cm telephoto macro capability brings added versatility, allowing users to move effortlessly between intricate close-up shots and crisp long-range photography, transforming everyday scenes into striking, detail-rich images.
Designed to go further, built to last
Durability takes centre stage in the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, with a design engineered to handle the realities of daily use without compromise. Equipped with 2nd Generation Kunlun Glass, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro display features high-strength nanocrystals for enhanced durability. It offers up to 20x greater drop resistance than conventional glass, significantly reducing the risk of screen damage.
The back panel is crafted from ultra-durable vegan fibre, offering a silky-smooth texture that feels refined and elegant in hand. Its impact resistance is enhanced by up to 5x, allowing the device to withstand daily bumps and scrapes while maintaining its pristine appearance.
With IP68 water resistance and IP69 resistance to high-temperature, high-pressure water jets, along with a multi-layer sealing design, the device delivers comprehensive protection against water and dust intrusion.
Sustained power, seamless performance

The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is powered by a massive 5750mAh battery, easily supporting all-day usage. It supports 100W wired SuperCharge and 80W wireless SuperCharge for fast and convenient charging.
Now with the SuperCool Dual Phase Change Heat Dissipation System, the device remains cooler during extended, demanding use. This ensures consistently smooth performance for tasks such as gaming, live streaming and creative work.
Thanks to a 21% improvement in overall system performance, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro handles demanding tasks with ease, delivering smoother workflows and a consistently responsive experience without compromising power efficiency.
The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro also features the X-True™ 2.5D Sleek Flat-Edged Display.
