We brought you a hands-on with the Huawei Pura 90s Pro Max from the launch event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Now, it’s time to bring the phone to our headquarters and start its review.

The phone ships with a USB cable, a clear hard case, and a 100W charger in the box. There may be variations of this, depending on the location, similar to the situation with the battery – European customers will get a 5,500mAh battery, while elsewhere, units will have a 6,000mAh power pack.

Unboxing the Pura 90s Pro Max

We already went into detail with the phone in our hands-on. It’s very distinctive thanks to its unique camera island, its mirror-like reflective surfaces, and its premium build.

It’s less unique from the front, as you’d expect. The screen is top-notch, however.

Huawei kept the variable aperture main camera lens for yet another year, but expanded on it. It’s now an f/1.4 (vs the old f/1.6), or about a 0.4 stop of light (30% more light) difference. The bigger upgrade is the new 200MP 1/1.28-inch zoom camera with an 89mm f/2.6 lens. It’s an impressive optic. You can find camera samples from it here.
