Real-world photos of the upcoming Huawei Mate 80 lineup just dropped, giving us our first clear look at the new design.
A new look for Huawei’s next flagship
Huawei’s next flagship lineup is on the horizon, and the first real-world images of the Mate 80 series just leaked online – giving us a clear look at what’s coming. The photos show what appears to be the Mate 80 Pro, sporting a redesigned circular camera setup on the back, marking a shift from the Mate 70’s design language.

The triple-camera system now forms a triangle pattern, with the top lens likely being a periscope telephoto unit, and the two below acting as the main and ultrawide shooters. Dual LED flash modules sit on the sides, all encased in a metal-looking ring that gives the camera island a premium touch. There’s also an extra sensor next to the flashes – possibly a color or light sensor – though its purpose isn’t confirmed yet.
Compared to the Mate 70 Pro’s square camera layout with four lens openings, this new triangular design feels more refined and probably makes space for upgraded optics.
The leaked photos also show off two color options – bright yellow and black – but more shades will likely be available when the lineup officially drops. Aside from the new camera island, the rest of the phone looks quite similar to last year’s design.
Another image hints that the standard Mate 80 will have a slightly different rear look, meaning the updated camera layout could be exclusive to the Pro models.

What to expect from the new lineup
The Mate 80 series should include the Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, and Mate 80 Pro+. Rumors point to up to 100W fast charging, new Kirin chips, and possibly a built-in cooling fan on one of the models. Huawei is also said to be preparing a high-end Mate 80 RS variant with a titanium frame and a dual-layer OLED display.
However, international fans shouldn’t get too excited. Just like the Mate 70 lineup, the new phones probably won’t feature US-made components or support regular Android apps, so importing one might not be ideal unless you are ready for software limitations.
