Overview
- Huawei unveiled the Pura 90s Pro and Pura 90s Pro Max in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, confirming the Kirin 9030S chipset, EMUI 16 software, and global 5G with eSIM support.
- The Pro Max’s headline feature is a 200MP RYYB telephoto built on a 1/1.28" sensor with 4x optical zoom and OIS, a design that prioritizes high-resolution cropping and low-light color capture.
- Reviewers praised the phones’ imaging, large LTPO OLED displays and durable Kunlun Glass but criticized hardware choices including the removal of last year’s switchable 10x periscope, the side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and some image sharpening at long zooms.
- Key specs vary by region: non-EU units list roughly 6,000mAh batteries with faster charging on the Pro Max (100W wired, 80W wireless) while EU models are rated lower under local rules and the Pro offers slower charging (66W wired, 50W wireless).
- Huawei has begun a staged global rollout with units on sale or for pre-order in Malaysia and a Middle East launch set for July 16, and the series aims to rebuild Huawei’s camera leadership as it returns flagship phones to international 5G markets.
