The Mate Series Returns: HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro Pre-Orders Now Live in Malaysia
TL;DR: HUAWEI has opened pre-orders for the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro in Malaysia with an RM100 deposit. The flagship phone features a 6.75-inch OLED display, a 50MP variable aperture camera, a 5,750mAh battery, and 16GB of RAM. Early buyers will receive a free MatePad 11.5 Standard Edition and Smart Keyboard.
Following its global debut in Madrid, HUAWEI is officially bringing its latest flagship smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, to the Malaysian market. The highly anticipated launch marks a significant comeback for the brand, as the last device from this premium lineup to launch locally was the Mate 50 Pro in 2022.
While the official retail price remains under wraps, HUAWEI Malaysia has already opened pre-orders for the device, tempting early adopters with a highly lucrative free gift bundle.
High-End Hardware and Imaging
The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is built around a 6.75-inch LTPO OLED display boasting a crisp 2,832 x 1,280 resolution. The screen supports an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate, 1,440Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort, and a responsive 300Hz touch sampling rate.
For the Malaysian market, the device is offered in a single, maxed-out configuration featuring 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
HUAWEI continues to push the boundaries of mobile photography with a formidable triple-camera system on the rear. The setup includes a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and an F/1.4-F/4.0 variable aperture, a 40MP F/2.2 ultrawide camera, and a 48MP F/2.1 macro telephoto lens. A dedicated True-to-Colour sensor works alongside the cameras to ensure superior colour accuracy. A 13MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls.
Battery, Build, and Expected Silicon
Keeping the device running is a massive 5,750mAh battery. When it is time to recharge, the phone supports blazing-fast 100W SuperCharge wired charging and 80W wireless fast charging.
Durability is a major focus for the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro. The front is protected by HUAWEI’s 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass for enhanced drop and scratch resistance, while the chassis boasts both IP68 and IP69 ratings against dust and water ingress. Connectivity options include 4G, fast WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 6.0.
While HUAWEI has not officially confirmed the processor for the local unit, industry expectations point to the in-house Kirin 9030 chipset. The device will run on EMUI 15, relying on the HUAWEI AppGallery for software distribution.
Pre-Order Details and Free Gifts
Customers eager to secure the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro can place a deposit of RM100 on the official HUAWEI Malaysia website.
As a massive incentive, those who pre-order will receive a free HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 Standard Edition (WiFi variant) bundled with a Smart Keyboard. The smartphone will be available in three striking colourways: Gold, Green, and Black.
The pre-order countdown timer suggests a full launch and price reveal is expected to take place in mid-March. The global launch event in Madrid also saw the debut of the FreeBuds Pro 5 wireless earbuds and the Watch Ultimate 2 smartwatch, which are expected to arrive in Malaysia soon.
