Huawei unveiled the Mate 90 Pro Max in China, featuring a 6.9-inch 12,000-nit display, triple rear cameras including a 50MP main with 1-inch sensor and 200MP periscope telephoto, and a 6,800mAh battery supporting 100W wired charging. The Collector's Edition supports a modular 1-inch Ruiying Z10 external camera with 10x optical zoom, priced from CNY 9,499 ($1,420).
Huawei is rolling out its self-developed Tau chip and LogicFolding architecture across its new Mate 90 smartphone series, with the Mate XT 2 trifold phone already shipped at 100,000 units and on track for 1 million sales. The chip design allows Huawei to bypass US export restrictions and build advanced processors without access to cutting-edge lithography, though rising memory costs have pressured profitability.
