Launched in July and featuring an industry-first switchable dual telephoto camera, the Pura 80 Ultra mimics the mechanics of a digital camera in miniature. Its two lenses offer 3.7x and 9.4x magnification for sharper shots, its one-inch sensor captures more light, and it can distinguish 1.5 million colors. The result? Richly detailed, vibrantly colored photos and videos in any lighting.
