The Huawei Pura 90s Pro series was introduced with an emphasis on color-accurate mobile photography through its True-to-Colour Camera 2.0 imaging system and RYYB sensor array. Both models feature a 50MP main camera with a mechanical aperture that adjusts from f/1.4 to f/4.0, while AI composition tools provide real-time framing suggestions during shooting. The Pro Max adds a 200MP telephoto camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, optical image stabilization, 4x optical zoom, and macro capability, whereas the Pro includes a 50MP telephoto camera with 4x optical and up to 8x optical-quality zoom.
The smartphones run HarmonyOS 6.1 on the Kirin 9030S processor and carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. A 5,270mAh battery supports 66W SuperCharge on the Pro and 100W charging on the Pro Max. The Pro features a 6.6-inch OLED display, while the Pro Max uses a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED panel with a 1Hz to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
