The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max is available in several colors.
The latest camera flagship smartphone from Huawei is here, and starts with the periscope telephoto camera with the largest 200 MP sensor of all smartphones. The main camera combines an equally large sensor with a variable aperture.

Together with the unusual Huawei Pura X Max, Huawei today also unveiled the Pura 90 Pro Max, a flagship smartphone that stands out from all its competitors in terms of both its design and camera features. Huawei has opted for a gigantic, triangular camera module, while the IP69-certified and therefore water-resistant housing is available in five eye-catching colors.

With a height of 8.1 millimeters and a weight of 230 grams, the Pura 90 Pro Max is not particularly lightweight, but Huawei can install a 6,000 mAh battery, which can be charged via USB-C with 100 watts or wirelessly with 80 watts. The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max has a 50 megapixel f/1.4 - 4.0 main camera with 1/1.28 inch sensor, a 40 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera and a 200 MP f/2.6 periscope telephoto camera with 1/1.28 inch sensor, 4x zoom, OIS and macro mode. A dedicated sensor should enable a more accurate color reproduction.
 


Huawei has also installed a 13 MP f/2.0 selfie camera in a punch-hole in the 6.9-inch display. The screen is based on an LTPO OLED panel with a frame rate of 120 Hz and a resolution of 2,880 x 1,308 pixels. The screen is protected with improved Kunlun Glass that is equipped with an anti-reflective coating. The HiSilicon Kirin 9030S ARM chip promises better AI performance than older chips. The Pura 90 Pro Max supports a dual SIM, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and satellite emergency calling, although the latter is only available in China.

Prices and availability

The Huawei 90 Pro Max launches in China with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB flash memory for 6,499 CNY ($950), the top model with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage costs 8,599 CNY ($1,260). Huawei has not yet confirmed when or at what price the Pura 90 Pro Max will be launched internationally.
