Under the company's current hardware release cadence, the Pura series phones are typically directed towards mainstream consumers as the company's flagship smartphones, refining and expanding upon technologies introduced in Mate series devices (which are typically positioned towards early adopters).[1] From 2016 until 2021, Huawei was in a co-engineering partnership with the German manufacturer Leica, whose lenses were used on the Mate series cameras. They have since been replaced with Huawei's in-house XMAGE imaging brand.[2][3]
