After nearly three years since the last global introduction of a HUAWEI Mate smartphone, the iconic series is set to make a triumphant return in the Philippines with the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro. This latest flagship sets a new benchmark in imaging authenticity, durability, performance, and intelligence.
A Legend Returns
The HUAWEI Mate Series has defined bold technological leaps for over a decade. It pioneered the world’s first dedicated AI NPU in the Mate 10, while the Mate 20 brought the first Ultrawide Camera. The Mate 30 introduced AI Gesture Control for touchless navigation, while the Mate 40 featured the world’s first Free-Form Lens for distortion-free photography.
In 2022, the Mate 50 became the first satellite communication smartphone with Kunlun Glass protection, and the Mate 80 Pro upholds this tradition of boundary-pushing excellence.
HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro
The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro boasts a signature aesthetic of perfect symmetry through its all-new Dual Space Ring Design. The aligned rings form an infinity symbol, symbolizing endless exploration and transcendence.
Available in elegant Gold and Black, the device features a premium vegan fiber backplate for a comfortable grip, scratch resistance, and timeless style. This exudes a blend of luxury and practicality to ensure that the device remains pristine over time.
The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro transforms smartphones into pocket-sized photography studios with its True-to-Colour Camera system that delivers authentic colors and professional results across scenarios.
It’s equipped with a 50MP Ultra Lighting Main Camera that captures ample light and detail for superior low-light performance and lifelike textures, alongside a 48MP Telephoto Macro Lens with 4x optical zoom and 5cm minimum focus for stunning close-ups and distant shots.
AI Composition, trained on over 500,000 professional photos, analyzes subjects, lines, lighting, and balance in real-time while also providing on-screen hints for optimal framing, crops, and zooms, making pro-level shots effortless.
Built for real-world rigors, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro introduces Super Durable Architecture with reinforced layers for superior bend resistance. The 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass enhances drop protection, minimizing screen damage from falls. Its vegan fiber back resists scratches and stains effectively. With IP68 and IP69 ratings, it endures submersion up to 6 meters in 80°C water, high-pressure jets, and temperatures down to -20°C.
It’s also equipped with the industry-first SuperCool Dual Phase Change Heat Dissipation System, enabling smooth multitasking and gaming without thermal throttling.
The device houses a 5,750mAh battery which delivers up to 30 hours of video playback and supports 100W Wired HUAWEI SuperCharge for 51% in 15 minutes and 80W Wireless SuperCharge for convenience.
