Summary

  • €1,149 is the starting price for Huawei’s Pura 90s Pro Max, a 6.9-inch flagship the company is preparing to roll out globally after a hands-on preview in Kuala Lumpur.
  • 200 megapixels anchor the phone’s main pitch: a 96mm telephoto camera on a 1/1.28-inch sensor, paired with a 50MP main camera, 40MP ultra-wide and Huawei’s emphasis on dynamic range and color accuracy.
  • 100W wired charging, a 6,000mAh battery, IP68/IP69K protection and Kunlun Glass with claimed 70% lower reflections round out the premium hardware, though some charging specs may vary by market.
  • GBox partly offsets Huawei’s lack of Google Mobile Services by enabling Play Store apps such as Lightroom, Spotify, YouTube, ChatGPT and Claude on top of EMUI.
  • Early camera results were positive, but the global model still appears constrained by software quirks and regional feature gaps, with Europe getting only AI Composition while some Asia-Pacific markets receive the fuller AI suite.
