Huawei’s Pura 90 series is now official, ushering in a new era for Huawei’s flagship lineup with the Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max. Both bring an updated look with an attractive gradient color scheme, which is a slight departure from the Huawei P30 series. And as usual with flagship Huawei phones, you get top-tier camera hardware.

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

They also come with the latest HarmonyOS 6.1 build, complete with a native Agentic AI assistant as well as AI image editing and object removal tools.
