Top 5 Reasons HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra is the Ultimate Smartphone for Photographers

The smartphone scene has become a bit disappointing in recent years. There are no head-turning features or jaw-dropping innovations. Some minor spec bumps and a fresh coat of paint is all we have been getting year after year. Many have given up waiting with bated breath. That’s when Huawei, the same brand that brought us the first-ever mainstream tri-fold smartphone, drops the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra. What’s the deal with this phone, you ask? Well, it might make many people reconsider their plans to buy a mirrorless system. The cameras are that good, and we are not just talking about the main camera. Best Telephoto Camera in TownEven for smartphones that flex on camera capabilities, the main camera has always been the centerpiece. The ultra-wide and especially the telephoto were an afterthought. The Pura 80 Ultra is fixing this broken formula by introducing a trailblazing Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera, with versatile 3.7x and 9.4x focal lengths, sharing a super-large sensor to create cinematic portraits and dramatic, razor-sharp close-ups with rich spatial depth. Having a large photosensitive area means the telephoto lens can take stunning pictures even in low light, which used to be the Achilles’ heel of telephoto cameras. From intricate architectural details to expansive city skylines, it excels at capturing vivid night atmospheres with precise hue and saturation. Photos and videos of concerts and stage events will come out with vibrant colours, closer than ever to professional event photography.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/07/huawei-pura-80-ultra-camera-review.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="huawei-pura-80-ultra-camera-review" border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48gXQmiFwDLHQ2x7albAgfrtHkUIwW1n1IQehXCT59-i55q99S162SoqTQO03y7XRj01aXIBH5TYs5uq41jNnhghSpJfbZroRncDSUne51rTfvVfuAHbtnoPywidHbAZgAsYmXY3O31fNce0oj6WQ7JCHwQ1owHCJNXN6WUNORGaXPatwaPH6hDr7vek/s16000/huawei-pura-80-ultra-camera-review.jpg" title="huawei-pura-80-ultra-camera-review" /></a></div> Even Better Main ShooterWhile the telephoto camera has seen monumental upgrades, the main camera has improved leaps and bounds. A 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR Camera powers the main camera on the Pura 80 Ultra. Such a large sensor increases the dynamic range beyond what any other smartphone, achieving the industry's highest 16EV, more than that of many professional cinema cameras. In scenes with bright skies and dark shadows in the same frame, it recovers blown-out highlights and lifts details from the dark areas, creating a more balanced image that looks closer to what your eyes actually see. To improve the colour accuracy and details in night scenes, the main camera combines the information from the Ultra Chroma Camera to deliver ultra-clear and brilliant nightscapes even in low-light environments. Lead by AestheticsThe HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra unveils a Dazzling Forward Symbol design, drawing inspiration from the timeless sunray motifs found in exquisite jewelry and luxury watches. This radiant sunburst pattern dazzles with intricate depth and harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The camera lens is accentuated by a resplendent golden ring, forming the iconic forward symbol camera module adorned with the golden XMAGE emblem, creating a captivating visual icon. Smarter than EverThe actual experience of using a smartphone depends, above all, on the software. Huawei has packed the EMUI 15 with intelligent AI features that users actually benefit from every day. The phone can recognize its owner and display or hide the message content depending on who is looking at the phone. To ensure voice clarity even in extremely loud environments, the phone employs a two-way noise reduction during handheld calls. The new Smart Controls Button doubles as a fingerprint reader and a customizable shortcut button you can tap to quickly access your favorite features, such as the camera, flashlight, notepad, and AI lens. Flagship Battery and DisplayThe HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra supports 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge with a massive 5170mAh battery and supports 80W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge for convenient, instant charging. The phone also features an All-new Ultra-clear HUAWEI X-True Display™ with 3000nit peak brightness and adaptive brightness adjustment across lighting conditions, more comfortable viewing in low light, and more transparent and clearer images at high brightness. The 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate intelligently adjusts based on browsing needs for buttery-smooth visuals.In a market full of incremental updates, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra stands tall with a monumental camera revolution. If you care about photography, this might be the only phone that truly deserves your attention in 2025.

Cisco unveils Duo Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), the leader in security and networking, today unveiled Duo Identity and Access Management (IAM), a new security solution that transforms how organizations combat persistent identity-based attacks that are accelerating in the AI era. Identity is a prime target for bad actors, accounting for 60% of Cisco Talos Incident Response cases in 2024, because current solutions have critical weaknesses that attackers exploit. Duo IAM offers an innovative and security-first approach, with added protection built on its globally trusted multifactor authentication (MFA). Duo IAM is the latest advancement in Cisco’s long-standing commitment to user-friendly Zero Trust security. Security-First Identity and Access ManagementAccording to Cisco’s 2025 Cybersecurity Readiness Index, nearly a third of companies worldwide rank identity as their top cybersecurity challenge, but traditional IAM solutions often treat security as optional rather than foundational. Purpose-built to protect against modern identity threats, Duo IAM enables organizations to securely manage their entire identity infrastructure.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/07/cisco-unveils-duo-identity-access-management.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cisco unveils Duo Identity and Access Management (IAM)" border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="475" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAdGrDppZyEYDGSIWm23wYXa0XU08pnj0xGFqeSpISBl5G62tGIL_eyQsp8zovyPalmoDsqISGvGZKh6ue7e5FzQEvYdC6NDhtVBN7d1QSz_RrMdy5vo1Xxn_6ZYV3eiQ0vvl_11RZGNHIFAWOZJMJ8LQ7i8anIfh4WiNaluLRE23b2I0lIwpoPBbu3V0/s16000/cisco-unveils-duo-identity-access-managementcisco-unveils-duo-identity-access-management.jpg" title="Cisco unveils Duo Identity and Access Management (IAM)" /></a></div> Duo includes a new User Directory to simplify storing user identities – including usernames, emails, and roles – and managing their access to resources. Paired with its existing capabilities including MFA and Single Sign On (SSO) to provide users with simple, easy and secure access to hundreds of applications from one login page, Duo now offers customers a comprehensive IAM solution.Open and flexible, Duo IAM also integrates effortlessly with existing third-party identity systems. The new Identity Routing Engine allows Duo to integrate with many identity providers either as an identity broker or as a secondary identity provider. Incorporating security by default, Duo IAM frustrates attackers, while improving user experience and management costs. The Cisco AI Assistant is embedded in Duo to help organizations easily deploy and manage the new solution out-of-the-box. End-to-End Phishing-ResistanceAI has accelerated the scale and complexity of account takeover through automated agentic social engineering. In response to rising threats, globally trusted Duo MFA now delivers the strongest form of authentication, without sacrificing convenience or purchasing expensive hardware keys. Recent innovations strengthening end-to-end phishing resistance include:• Complete Passwordless: New option ensures a secure authentication experience without users ever having to use or remember a password.• Proximity Verification: This capability uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to ensure a user’s mobile and access devices are near each other when authenticating.• Session Theft Protection: New enhancements to Duo Passport remove the reliance on browser cookies from authentication, protecting against session theft and hijacking. Unified Identity IntelligenceIdentity infrastructure is complex and often disconnected, creating blind spots where attacks and vulnerabilities go unnoticed. To help organizations continuously monitor and respond to changes in identity risk, Duo IAM integrates with Cisco Identity Intelligence, connecting identity and access data across the Cisco Security Cloud platform. With AI-driven behavioral analytics and Cisco's unmatched reach into the network, organizations gain comprehensive visibility, threat detection, and the ability to take graduated responses like quarantining an identity, killing active sessions or isolating the network.

IFA Berlin and Cradle to Cradle NGO enter into Partnership

<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/06/ifa-2025.html" target="_blank">IFA Berlin</a>, the world's leading platform for home and consumer tech, is expanding its commitment to sustainability in 2025 by entering into a partnership with Cradle to Cradle NGO (C2C NGO). As part of the cooperation, the tech trade platform is working together with the non-profit organisation to promote forward-looking change in the industry – towards genuine circularity, responsible use of resources, positive impact and innovative product design.Since 2012, Cradle to Cradle NGO has been driving the implementation of the Cradle to Cradle principle in Germany and beyond. The sustainability partnership with IFA emphasises the shared goal of making innovations for a genuine Circular Economy visible and actively driving the transformation forward.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/07/ifa-berlin-cradle-to-cradle-ngo-partnership.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="IFA Berlin and Cradle to Cradle NGO enter into Partnership" border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTz7Rgf-enXp_COhh8ob_nFROIV7sw0QsY7Roe7WxSdfVA-ZDUxVKkEvXvATCw1bVwCIIPgmyYNrR6RemiG5MqtZjeR4vqJ_-fTmUFL9ygnbORqNvzyFZCqmBgW0jHxG2uXBHqwtBHTUGCQXUor6CwoS6BpR3exAuBX4soUjEpwDpf0aG8I47ZSluYCMc/s16000/ifa-berlin-cradle-to-cradle-ngo-partnership.jpg" title="IFA Berlin and Cradle to Cradle NGO enter into Partnership" /></a></div> The focus of the collaboration is on making C2C-design visible in the consumer electronics industry. C2C NGO will help shape the content of the IFA stages – with keynotes, panels, workshops and micro talks where entrepreneurs and thought leaders can present and discuss their solutions for recyclable consumer electronics. A joint position paper with concrete recommendations for business and politics, as well as the NGO's participation as a jury member in the first IFA Innovation Awards, underline the relevance of the partnership. Cradle to Cradle NGO will also be present at the exhibition grounds with its own stand to provide further input and engage with industry experts.From now on, when purchasing tickets for the IFA in September, both private and trade visitors will have the opportunity to support the work of Cradle to Cradle NGO with a voluntary donation. In this way, IFA is making the step towards sustainable trade event visits easy and transparent – and giving visitors the chance to make a concrete contribution.Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH, said; <blockquote>The partnership with Cradle to Cradle NGO is more than a statement for us – it is a call to action. As the industry's leading platform, IFA brings innovation and industry together. Together, we are sending a strong signal that future technology and circular thinking must go hand in hand. Only if we understand sustainability as a design task, we can achieve real, sustainable progress.</blockquote>Nora Sophie Griefahn & Tim Janßen, Founders and Managing Directors, Cradle to Cradle NGO, said; <blockquote>We see the partnership with IFA Berlin as an opportunity to provide important impulses for change across an entire industry. Consumer electronics have become an integral part of our everyday lives. However, devices and components are rarely reusable. Materials are often sourced under precarious conditions, and the situation is further exacerbated by the wasting of scarce resources. Neither linear business models nor mere reduction and avoidance offer future-proof solutions. What is needed is a new way of thinking that focuses on design with the aim of creating a positive footprint. An electrical appliance designed according to Cradle to Cradle takes all production steps into account, enabling materials to be separated and kept in continuous use without any loss of quality. C2C products are designed to be fair and materially healthy. This secures future resource use and shows how we can make technology sustainable and responsible.</blockquote>
