Huawei's latest phone fits two telephoto lenses into one camera
Briefly

Huawei's Pura 80 Ultra launches with an innovative dual-lens telephoto camera system, sharing the same sensor for both lenses. This design includes a 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom range, using a movable prism for light direction. Unlike competitors, it reduces costs and space usage by employing one sensor for two lenses, potentially improving the phone's profile without compromising quality. The main camera boasts 50 megapixels, with an advanced dynamic aperture, showcasing Huawei's focus on enhancing photography in its flagship model.
Combining the two telephoto lenses isn't just a way of grabbing headlines. Image sensors are among the most expensive components in modern phones, so finding ways to use one sensor for multiple lenses could save costs in the long run.
The Pura 80 Ultra's two lenses offer 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom - or 83mm and 212mm if you prefer - which is a wider range than Sony's take ever managed.
