Another tipster, Teme (@RODENT950), shared the alleged camera specifications of the Huawei Pura 80 in an X post. As per the tipster, the handset could carry a quad rear camera unit, including a 1-inch 50-megapixel primary sensor with variable aperture, a 1/1.3-inch 50-megapixel sensor with dual focal length, a 40-megapixel ultrawide shooter, and a 2-megapixel colour temperature sensor.

Given the large sensor sizes, we could see this camera setup in one of the higher-end Pro+ or Ultra Huawei Pura 80 variants. The tipster shared a leaked image of the purported camera module as well. The four sensors are placed within a triangular island alongside a pill-shaped LED flash unit.

Notably, the base Huawei Pura 70 model carries a 50-megapixel main sensor with variable aperture and OIS, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, and a 12-megapixel periscope telephoto camera at the back.
