Huawei’s Pura 90 series is now official, with the Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max ushering in a new era for Huawei’s flagship lineup. Both bring updated looks with eye-catching gradient color schemes, which is a bit of a throwback to the Huawei P30 series. And as usual with flagship Huawei phones, you get top-tier camera hardware.

Pura 90 Pro Max is headlined by a massive 1/1.28-inch periscope telephoto sensor of 200MP resolution with f/2.6 aperture. This is a 96 mm equivalent module with 4x optical zoom, which Huawei claims can deliver sustained detail preservation even in challenging light conditions. It also benefits from CIPA 7.0 image stabilization (7-stop stabilization).
Pura 90 Pro Max is also the first Huawei phone with a Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor (LOFIC) sensor used on its 50MP RYYB main shooter. It supports a 10-stop variable f/1.4-4.0 aperture and OIS. The third module on the back of the Pura 90 Pro Max is a 40MP ultrawide with an f/2.2 aperture.

Elsewhere, both phones feature Huawei’s in-house Kirin 9030S chipset, which Huawei claims can deliver 200% image NPU capabilities as well as varying AI ISP gains. Despite the difference in size, both Pura 90 Pro models feature 6,000 mAh batteries, which support 100W wired and 80W wireless charging.
They also ship with the latest HarmonyOS 6.1 build, complete with a native agentic AI assistant, as well as AI image editing and object removal tools.
