Update
Huawei’s Devices CTO is reportedly testing the upcoming Pura 80.
Huawei‘s top tech boss, Bruce Lee, is now using a new, secret phone on social media. This probably means it is the new Pura 80 that’s coming soon. Huawei leaders often show off new phones this way before they’re officially released.
In accordance with , current leaks and rumors, the company could choose June for the earliest unveiling date, but an official announcement is yet to arrive.
Huawei typically releases its P-series phones in the first six months of the year. For 2024, they changed the name to Pura, starting with the Pura 70 series. Last year, they launched in April. This year, the timing is different, not due to how they are made, but because of other product launches.
Huawei introduced the Pura X in March. This is their new foldable phone, and it is special because it has a wide screen and runs on Huawei’s own HarmonyOS system.
Previous month , Huawei was very busy! They released a new kind of laptop that folds, called the MateBook Fold Ultimate Design. They also launched their new Nova 14 phones at the same event. Because they had so many big products coming out at once, the new Pura 80 will be launched at a different time than the previous model.
The Pura 80 is shaping up with impressive cameras. It is said to have a 50-megapixel smart camera and a 50-megapixel zoom camera. They both use a special way to get more light into your pictures. The top-of-the-line model will also come with a super clear, slightly curved screen.
At present , the head of Huawei’s consumer products, He Gang, accidentally showed a test version of the new phone. It had a big hole for the camera, but otherwise looked just like the old model.
Samsung is launching new fold phones soon. They will show off the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and a cheaper “FE” foldable. The Galaxy Z Flip FE just got approved by the FCC (a government group).
Samsung’s new “FE” foldable phone will be cheaper.This phone (called SM-F761U) just got approved by the US government on June 9th.
This means it’s ready to be sold in America.
The new Galaxy Z Flip FE will have really fast internet (Wi-Fi 6e).
It will also work with lots of 5G networks, so you will get fast mobile internet.You can charge it without plugging it in (wireless charging).
It has a feature called NFC, which means you can use it to pay with Google Pay or Samsung Pay.
Besides the other new phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 also got a green light from the FCC (meaning it can be sold). This happened on June 6. The Fold 7 will feature special tech like Ultra-Wideband (UWB), super fast Wi-Fi (6e), and a Qualcomm processor.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
Samsung’s big phone launch is in early July 2025 in New York. They’ll show off new foldable phones: the Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and a cheaper “Fan Edition” foldable. This means more options for people who like foldables.
