The Pura 80 Pro+ was created in response to user requests for more brightness and greater camera flexibility in challenging scenes compared to the previous generation. In the new device, peak brightness increased by about 25%, which is immediately noticeable outdoors, and battery life gained roughly 1–1.2 hours of active use thanks to the updated platform. The camera became more accurate — detail improved by about 15%, and dynamic range expanded by 20%, which is reflected in evening shots. The body slimmed down slightly: minus 5 grams and about 3% thinner.
The body is made of glass with a soft satin finish and a metal frame that smooths the overall silhouette. Fingerprints appear noticeably slower than before, and the surface resists accidental smudges well. The weight is 196 grams, thickness is 7.8 mm, and the phone feels lighter than the numbers suggest. The balance is shifted closer to the center, so the hand does not tire even during prolonged texting or scrolling through social media feeds.
The display is noticeably brighter in sunlight: the extra brightness is immediately felt, and text in navigation remains readable even at noon. The 120 Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling, and colors look softer and more natural than before. Contrast increased by about 18%, visible in deep shadows in videos. The camera demonstrates more confident autofocus performance, night scenes are cleaner with less noise, and stabilization works more precisely without smearing light points.
The smartphone runs on an updated platform with frequencies up to 3.3 GHz, with a performance gain of roughly 20% compared to the previous generation. In the interface, this translates to more responsive gestures and fast task switching. During games, the frame rate remains stable, although under long sessions the system slightly reduces load to control temperature. YouTube launches without delays, Telegram and WhatsApp run smoothly in the background, and navigation remains stable even when playing music or recording short videos simultaneously.
The user interface feels neat and lighter thanks to faster animations. Settings are intuitively divided, and AI algorithms subtly adjust camera parameters depending on the scene — for example, boosting dynamic range in high-contrast shots. Sound is designed so that voice tracks sound clearer, which is noticeable when listening to podcasts. Compared to competitors at a similar price, the interface feels calmer and less cluttered.
The battery provides about 7.5–8 hours of active screen time. YouTube consumes roughly 9% per hour, games about 17%, and GPS lowers the charge by 11–12% over the same period. Overall, the phone feels about 16% more efficient, which is noticeable in daily use: by the end of a working day, 25–30% remains even with active use of social media, messengers, and maps. Fast charging takes the battery from 20% to 70% in about half an hour, which is convenient during trips.
After several days of use, the Pura 80 Pro+ leaves the impression of a device focused on real-world scenarios rather than just raw specifications. The display is more comfortable in sunlight, the camera handles high-contrast scenes more calmly, and battery life has reached a comfortable level for a full day. The phone suits users who combine work and entertainment: taking lots of photos, watching videos, using social media, and navigating around the city. Compromises include slight frame rate reduction in heavy games and subtle color rendering, which may not appeal to everyone, but overall, the device feels solid and confident.
