Huawei may delay the Pura 80 series launch until August this year.
Although earlier rumors had pegged a May debut, Huawei’s Pura 80 series now looks set to arrive in August. Weibo insider @FixedFocus reports that the window has shifted from the originally anticipated June launch into the late summer months. It seems Huawei is giving itself extra runway to fine‑tune the Pura’s flagship features and ensure a polished final product.
Interestingly, the same tipster indicates that the Nova 14 lineup could still roll out as soon as next month, while the high‑end Mate 80 models face their own delays. Initial whispers placed the Mate 80 family’s launch in Q4 2025, but with these fresh postponements, even that timeframe may slip further. As always, we’ll keep an eye on Huawei’s official announcements for confirmation.
Huawei has stayed quiet on the rumored Pura 80 delay, but insiders point to extensive hardware and software tuning as the likely cause. The new flagship series is set to debut with stable HarmonyOS 5, so Huawei may be taking extra time to ensure a seamless, fully polished experience. On the hardware side, the company is reportedly developing in‑house components, such as a 1‑inch sensor for the Pura 80 Ultra which could also be contributing to the postponed rollout.
Last year’s Pura 70 lineup launched under Huawei’s Pioneer Program, and the Pura 80 was tipped for a grand unveiling this spring. Now, it seems not only the new Pura phones but also forthcoming wearables, earbuds, and even smart‑car initiatives could slip to later this year. While none of these schedules has been officially confirmed, an announcement from Huawei may not be far off.
