Huawei's Mate 80 Pro launches globally, marking a significant shift from its regional predecessor. While its core specs mirror the previous model, the standout change is its worldwide availability. The phone debuts with a fresh design featuring distinctive circular patterns on the back and screen, including a MagSafe-like golden circle under the camera island.

Available in Gold, Black, Green, and White, it offers a unique aesthetic compared to the Mate 80. The Mate 80 Pro retains a variable aperture main camera (f/1.4-f/4.0) and a triple rear setup: a 40MP ultrawide, a 93MP zoom, and a 13MP front camera with an ultra-wide lens. Powering it is the new 6nm Kirin 9030 chipset, a notable improvement for Huawei post-US restrictions, delivering solid performance across most tasks. Battery life sees a modest increase to 5,750mAh, paired with unchanged but still impressive 100W wired and 80W wireless charging speeds.
