The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra was unveiled last week, and we can already peek inside it, thanks to Youtuber Yang Changshun.
He manages to tear down the Pura 80 Ultra in a video spanning 14 minutes (the process actually took about an hour). The procedure is fascinating in and of itself, but we’re all here to see the moving two-lens camera module sitting over a single 1/1.28-inch sensor.
Changshun needed to cut open the dual-zoom camera module to get a peek inside. The frames below are from a microscope documenting the process.
The dual zoom module moves an 83mm f/2.4 (3.7x) lens and a 212mm f/3.6 (9.4x) lens on top of the largest zoom sensor in a phone – the mid-tele covering the full 50MP imager and the telephoto end covering 12.5MP of it. The lenses move on top of a motorized mechanism comprised of some 140 components. It’s truly impressive stuff here by Huawei.
Here’s the video.
