It also led in the four core scenarios of AI Imaging， AI Social， AI Learning， and AI Office， while ranking second in the AI Lifestyle scenario. This demonstrates Huawei’s significant advancements in integrating AI capabilities across various user experiences.
Furthermore， in the Terminal Insight Report’s evaluation of mass-market direct-to-satellite phones， the Huawei Pura 80 Pro + stood out as the only model to receive a five-star overall rating. It achieved five stars across all five key indicators: network access performance， call quality， call and SMS latency， positioning performance， and power consumption and battery life. This comprehensive performance fully showcases Huawei’s top-tier capabilities in terminal technology.
Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ Satellite Communication: Demonstrating Strength in Extreme Emergencies and Leading Industry Technological Breakthroughs
Real-world Flood Rescue: Satellite Communication Becomes a “Lifeline”
In July 2025， Beijing experienced extreme rainfall disasters， causing widespread disruption to terrestrial networks and leaving many people isolated. The satellite communication function of Huawei phones became a critical lifeline for disaster-stricken residents. On July 28， a resident named “Lu Zi” shared their self-rescue experience on Weibo， detailing how they successfully sent distress signals and location information via Huawei’s satellite communication function when terrestrial networks were down， thus buying crucial time for rescue efforts. On July 31， “Lu Zi” posted again， praising the Huawei Pura 70 series’ satellite communication capabilities for repeatedly helping them maintain contact during the disaster. Li Xiaolong， CTO of Huawei’s Terminal BG， also interacted to express gratitude in the comments section. This real-world application highlights the practical importance of satellite communication in emergency situations.
According to subsequent Weibo posts by Li Xiaolong and media reports， the number of Huawei phone satellite communication users during the Beijing floods increased by more than tenfold compared to normal times. This data further validates the reliability of Huawei’s satellite communication technology. Even without terrestrial network coverage， it enables users to send distress signals and location information， serving as a vital emergency tool and a self-protection measure for safeguarding lives during disasters. The significant surge in usage underscores public reliance on such technology during critical events.
Dual Satellite Communication Technology: BeiDou + Tiantong Fortifies the Safety Barrier
Huawei continues to lead in the field of terminal satellite communication and drive technological breakthroughs. The Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ and Pura 80 Ultra are equipped with the BeiDou + Tiantong dual-satellite communication technology. In the absence of terrestrial networks， they can communicate with the outside world through both Tiantong satellite communication and BeiDou satellite messaging capabilities.
For Tiantong satellite communication， Huawei Pura 80 Pro + and Huawei Pura 80 Ultra have innovatively introduced the “Satellite Paging” feature. When a satellite call is initiated， if a contact calls a Huawei phone that has already established a Tiantong satellite connection， the user can receive satellite message notifications without needing to re-establish satellite alignment manually， thus ensuring continuous connectivity. This feature addresses the pain point of traditional satellite communication requiring manual alignment for every call， allowing users to remain online during outdoor adventures， remote work， and other scenarios， thereby enhancing peace of mind for travelers.
Technology Implementation Capability: Driving Satellite Communication Towards Mass Adoption
From the first successful implementation of direct satellite connection for mobile phones to the current dual-satellite technology， Huawei has consistently iterated its technology with a focus on user needs. Compared to similar products in the industry， Huawei’s satellite communication features are more comprehensive (covering two-way messaging， image transmission， and satellite calls) and easier to use (smart star search and satellite paging lower the usage threshold). The practical performance during the Beijing floods has transformed it from “laboratory black technology” into a reliable “safety guarantee” for users， positioning Huawei as a leader in driving the popularization of satellite communication. This evolution from niche to mainstream is a testament to Huawei’s user-centric development approach.
Xiao Yi Intelligent Agent: Leading in Multi-Scenario AI Capabilities， Reshaping the Smart Phone Experience
In the China Telecom Yi Ju AITMark evaluation， the Xiao Yi intelligent agent secured the first place in AI Assistant Intelligent Agent rankings， and the Huawei Pura 80 Pro + topped the comprehensive intelligent score for AI mobile phone scenarios， leading in AI Imaging， AI Social， AI Learning， and AI Office， and ranking second in AI Lifestyle. This performance underscores Huawei’s deep expertise in AI technology.
In the AI Social scenario， the newly integrated “Dance Forest Lord” 憨憨， upgraded in HarmonyOS 5.1， appears on the lock screen， charging， and wallpaper interfaces. Users can customize its appearance and enjoy interactive features like blowing or tapping. It can also sense user activity patterns to deliver emotional value， making AI more engaging and personable. In terms of AI Imaging， features like AI-assisted composition (learning from over 50 million professional works and intelligently selecting focal lengths)， ultra-clear panoramas (cross-field fusion to suppress distortion)， and AI glare removal (one-click removal of glare using AIGC large models) break down the barriers to professional photography， allowing ordinary users to take high-quality photos with ease.
AI Learning and Office scenarios are equally convenient: “Xiao Yi Sees the World” can identify objects and text， providing knowledge explanations; “Xiao Yi Translate” supports real-time multi-language translation (including offline mode); and the “Tap-to-Share” function enables instant file transfer between phones and other HarmonyOS devices， covering galleries and third-party apps (like Bilibili， Taobao， etc.)， significantly improving content transfer efficiency. Within AI Lifestyle scenarios， “AI Gesture Transfer” allows file sharing through gesture recognition. AI Privacy Protection (detecting snooping risks)， AI Fraud Prevention (detecting scam scripts and AI deepfakes)， and AI Noise-Canceling Calls (filtering interference and preventing sound leakage) all balance convenience with privacy and security. These features highlight a holistic approach to enhancing user interaction and safety.
Conclusion: Technology as the Core， Value as the Soul， Leading the New Direction of the Industry
The leading performance of the Huawei Pura 80 series stems from its dual breakthroughs in satellite communication and AI: satellite communication not only achieves technological leadership but also demonstrates its social value as an “emergency safeguard” in extreme disasters. The Xiao Yi intelligent agent， through multi-scenario optimization， elevates AI from a “tool” to a “warm companion.”
Moving forward， with Huawei’s continued deep cultivation of terminal technologies， the Huawei Pura 80 series will further enhance its product appeal， create greater value for users， and guide the smart phone industry towards a future that is “smarter， more reliable， and more humane.” This forward-looking vision emphasizes continuous innovation and user-centric development as key drivers for industry advancement.
