Huawei officially presented the Pura 90 series on April 20, 2026, and sales of the base variant in China will start on April 29, 2026. At the top of the range is the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max with a record telephoto lens 200 MP on a RYYB 1/1.28″ sensor, a main camera of 50 MP with a variable, 10-step mechanical aperture f/1.4–f/4.0, and an ultra-wide 40 MP. Additionally, it features a new processor HiSilicon Kirin 9030S, the HarmonyOS 6.1 system, a 6000 mAh battery with 100 W wired and 80 W wireless charging, and a 6.9″ OLED LTPO 1–120 Hz display with next-generation Kunlun glass.
Prices in China start from 6499 yuan (approx. 3500 PLN) for the 12/256 GB variant and rise to 8499 yuan (approx. 4500 PLN) for the top 16 GB + 1 TB. In China, this is a lower price than for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, or Xiaomi 15 Ultra. We break down everything that Huawei announced and check if the Pura 90 Pro Max will make it to Poland.
When is the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max premiere in Poland
The official presentation of the Huawei Pura 90 series took place on April 20, 2026, in China. Sales of the Pro and Pro Max variants start on April 29, 2026 in the Chinese market, while the basic Pura 90 model goes on sale a few days earlier. All three phones are initially available on consumer.huawei.com, in the Vmall network, and with official offline partners.
The global premiere is expected at the turn of June and July 2026. Since 2023, Huawei has been consistently introducing the Pura series to Europe, albeit with a 2–3 month delay compared to China. The predecessor, Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, debuted in China in March 2025, and appeared in Poland in June 2025 at a price of 6,499 PLN. For the Pura 90 Pro Max, we can expect a similar pattern — availability in Poland from July to September 2026.
Note: Availability in the European Union is not guaranteed. Some color variants (Orange Ocean, Sunset Purple) remain exclusive to the Chinese market. The Polish distribution will likely offer only Dawn Gold and Obsidian Black, similar to the Pura 80 Pro.
We will return to the article on Polish prices after the official announcement. At this moment, estimates for Polish prices of Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max are 6,999–8,499 PLN depending on the configuration. The Pro model is expected to be around 5,799–6,999 PLN, and the basic Pura 90 — 4,999–5,499 PLN.

The most important key features are the 200-megapixel RYYB telephoto lens with a 1/1.28″ sensor (the largest in the industry in a telephoto camera), variable 10-step mechanical aperture f/1.4–f/4.0, and LOFIC technology that expands the dynamic range of the main sensor.
Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max Camera — 200 MP Telephoto Lens with 1/1.28″ Sensor
The heart of the Pura 90 Pro Max is the 200 MP telephoto lens with a RYYB 1/1.28″ sensor — the same size as the main camera. In the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max, telephoto lenses have sensors of 1/2.5″ and smaller, which results in a loss of quality in low light. In Huawei’s case, the opposite is true: the 4× optical zoom and 16× hybrid zoom remain usable even in a museum gallery, and the macro mode from a distance of 5 cm produces full-quality 200 MP photos of flowers or jewelry — without a dedicated macro sensor.
The main 50 MP camera has a 10-step variable mechanical aperture f/1.4–f/4.0 — f/1.4 for portraits with bokeh, f/2.8 for general scenes, f/4.0 for landscapes. Competitors (iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi) use a fixed aperture of f/1.6–f/1.8, which forces compromises. Additionally, there are two unique Huawei technologies: LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) that expands the dynamic range, and the RYYB sensor with yellow pixels instead of green — 40% more light than RGB, which is visibly noticeable in night mode and zoom in indoor settings. The processing is managed by the proprietary algorithm XMAGE, which balances colors without excessive saturation boosting.
Ekran 6,9″ OLED LTPO, Kunlun Glass i procesor Kirin 9030S
Wyświetlacz 6,9″ OLED LTPO oferuje rozdzielczość 2880 × 1308 px (458 ppi) i adaptywne odświeżanie 1–120 Hz — przy czytaniu tekstu ekran pracuje na 1 Hz, w grach na 120 Hz. Nowością jest Kunlun Glass nowej generacji z 70% redukcją odbicia światła (ekran pozostaje czytelny w słońcu bez maksymalnej jasności) oraz dziesięciokrotnie wyższa odporność na upadki niż Gorilla Glass Victus 2 (według deklaracji Huawei).
Pro Max napędza HiSilicon Kirin 9030S — autorski procesor Huaweia (SMIC 7 nm+). Względem Kirin 9020 z Pura 80 Ultra daje +30% w testach ML i +15% w Geekbench multi-core. Telefon działa na HarmonyOS 6.1 — systemie bez Google Play, Gmaila, Map Google czy YouTube. Huawei oferuje własne App Gallery, które obsługuje polskie aplikacje bankowe (mBank, PKO BP, BLIK), ale Netflix i część narzędzi wymagają ręcznej instalacji. Ekosystem HarmonyOS 6.1 płynnie łączy telefon z Huawei Watch GT 6, FreeBuds Pro 4 i tabletami MatePad.
Co wyróżnia Pro Max — HyperSpace Memory, satelita, design
HyperSpace Memory in the 16 GB variant provides up to 24 GB of effective RAM (virtual buffering in UFS) — practically 30 background applications without being removed from memory, instant switching between the camera and editors, no freezes in Genshin Impact after 90 minutes. Samsung and iPhone offer a maximum of 12 GB without expansion.
Pro Max supports two-way satellite communication via BeiDou and Tiantong (Chinese systems) — SMS and voice calls without GSM coverage. Disclaimer for Poland: lack of full coverage in Europe, so the feature will likely be limited in the European version.
The design features a round, central camera island (a departure from the squares of Pura 70/80) and a 5th class titanium frame. Of the five colors — Orange Ocean, Sunset Purple, Emerald Lake — they have eco-leather or microcrystalline glass textures, while Dawn Gold and Obsidian Black have matte glass backs.
6000 mAh battery with 100 W charging and 80 W wireless
Pro Max dostaje batteri 6000 mAh — więcej niż iPhone 17 Pro Max (4685 mAh) i Galaxy S25 Ultra (5000 mAh). Technologia silikonowo-węglowa daje do 2 dni pracy i 2400 cykli ładowania z zachowaniem 80% pojemności (ok. 5–6 lat). Ładowanie: 100 W przewodowo (0–100% w 38 minut) i 80 W bezprzewodowo (50 minut) — rekord w branży, choć pełne 80 W wymaga oryginalnej ładowarki Huawei Wireless SuperCharge. Dla porównania: iPhone 17 Pro Max ma 25 W MagSafe, Samsung S25 Ultra 15 W Qi2, Xiaomi 15 Ultra 50 W.
Do ładowania przewodowego sprawdzą się uniwersalne zasilacze GaN 100 W z USB PD 3.1 — zobacz ładowarki sieciowe. W kategorii ładowarek bezprzewodowych znajdziesz modele uniwersalne do 15 W na codzienne użytkowanie biurkowe. Ładowanie zwrotne pozwala używać Pro Max jako powerbanka dla słuchawek lub smartwatcha.
Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max vs Pura 90 Pro vs Pura 90 — który wariant wybrać
Seria Pura 90 ma trzy warianty: podstawowy Pura 90, Pura 90 Pro i Pura 90 Pro Max. Focus w tym artykule padł na flagowy model, ale warto wiedzieć, co dostaje się na każdym szczeblu cennika.
| Parametr | Pura 90 Pro Max | Pura 90 Pro | Pura 90 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen | 6,9″ OLED LTPO 2880 × 1308 px | 6,6″ OLED 2760 × 1256 px | 6,8″ OLED 2856 × 1320 px |
| Refresh Rate | 1–120 Hz adaptive | 120 Hz | 120 Hz |
| Processor | Kirin 9030S | Kirin 9030S | Kirin 9010S |
| Main Camera | 50 MP f/1,4–f/4,0 LOFIC | 50 MP f/1,4–f/4,0 | 50 MP f/1,8 |
| Ultrawide | 40 MP | 12,5 MP | 12,5 MP |
| Telephoto | 200 MP 1/1,28″ RYYB 4× | 50 MP 4× zoom | 50 MP 3,7× zoom |
| Selfie | 13 MP | 13 MP | 50 MP |
| Battery | 6000 mAh | 6000 mAh | 6500 mAh |
| Dimensions | 164 × 77,1 × 8,1 mm | 157,8 × 74,5 × 8,2 mm | 163,1 × 78,1 × 7 mm |
| Weight | 231 g | 213,5 g | 210 g |
| Price China | from 6499 CNY | from 5499 CNY | from 4699 CNY |
| Price PL (est.) | 6 999–8 499 zł | 5 799–6 999 zł | 4 999–5 499 zł |
Key differences are telephoto (200 MP vs 50 MP), ultrawide (40 MP vs 12,5 MP), and screen (6,9″ LTPO vs 6,6″ standard OLED). The Pro model also loses the LOFIC technology in the main camera, although the variable aperture f/1,4–f/4,0 is identical.
Who is Pro Max for: professional photographers, people using zoom daily (concerts, sports, nature), enthusiasts of top specifications.
For whom Pro: people looking for a compact flagship, as 6.6″ within 157 mm in height is a rarity in 2026. Pro is also 17.5 g lighter — a difference clearly felt in the pocket.
For whom the basic Pura 90: people wanting the cheapest Huawei flagship with a good camera and a record battery of 6500 mAh, without paying extra for LOFIC and a 200 MP telephoto lens.
Huawei Pura 90 — the basic model with a 6500 mAh battery and a 50 MP selfie
The basic Huawei Pura 90 stands out with two parameters better than in Pro and Pro Max: a larger battery (6500 mAh) and a better selfie camera (50 MP instead of 13 MP). The older Kirin 9010S processor (known from Pura 80 Pro, about 20% slower than 9030S) left room for a larger cell, and the lack of an advanced telephoto lens allowed investment in a better front. Additionally, the thinnest body (7 mm) and the lowest weight (210 g) of the entire trio.
For whom Pura 90: vloggers and people who take a lot of selfies (50 MP front), users requiring a battery for 2+ days, people in the Huawei ecosystem without the need for top photography. When it’s not enough: if you take a lot of zoom photos, portraits with bokeh, or night photography — the difference compared to Pro Max (lack of LOFIC, variable aperture, smaller tele sensor) will be noticeable. At a price of ~5,000 PLN, the basic Pura 90 competes with Samsung Galaxy S25 and Xiaomi 15 — Samsung offers full Android with Google, Huawei has a better camera and battery.
Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max vs competition in the 7,000–9,000 PLN segment
The top tier of flagship cameras in Poland in 2026 consists of four names: Huawei, Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi. All have sensibly configured camera sets, but each is going in a different direction.
| Model | Procesor | Aparat gł. | Telefoto | Bateria | Ekran | Cena PL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max | Kirin 9030S | 50 MP f/1,4–f/4,0 | 200 MP 4× RYYB | 6000 mAh | 6,9″ 120 Hz | od ~6 999 zł |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | A19 Pro | 48 MP f/1,78 | 48 MP 5× | 4685 mAh | 6,9″ 120 Hz | 8 199 zł |
| Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra | Snapdragon 8 Elite | 200 MP f/1,7 | 50 MP 5× | 5000 mAh | 6,9″ 120 Hz | 7 499 zł |
| Xiaomi 15 Ultra | Snapdragon 8 Elite | 50 MP f/1,63 Sony LYT-900 | 200 MP 4,3× Leica | 5410 mAh | 6,73″ 120 Hz | 6 999 zł |
Huawei wygrywa w trzech parametrach: sensor teleobiektywu (1/1,28″ to dwukrotnie większy niż u Samsunga czy Apple), zmienna przysłona (unikat w 2026) i bateria (6000 mAh to najwięcej w segmencie). Traci w aparacie głównym — 200 MP w Samsungu daje więcej szczegółów w pełnym kadrze, a Xiaomi z sensorem Sony LYT-900 ma lepszy zakres dynamiczny.
Czy Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max jest najlepszym aparatem fotograficznym w 2026
Z perspektywy samej jakości zdjęć — prawdopodobnie tak, ale z zastrzeżeniem. Pura 90 Pro Max będzie dominował w scenariuszach wymagających zoomu (koncerty, sport, natura, fotografia uliczna), portretów i trybu nocnego. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra pozostanie lepszy w pełnych kadrach i w szczegółowości, a Xiaomi 15 Ultra — w naturalnych kolorach dzięki Leica Summicron.
The problem for a Pole remains the lack of Google services. For those who take photos, but also use Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube as their main source of multimedia — the Pura 90 Pro Max requires compromises. For photographers who mainly use the phone for photos and editing — this lack becomes irrelevant.
Prices of Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max in China and expected in Poland
| Variant | China (CNY) | Estimated Poland (PLN) |
|---|---|---|
| 12 GB + 256 GB | 6499 CNY | ~6 999 zł |
| 12 GB + 512 GB | 7199 CNY | ~7 599 zł |
| 16 GB + 512 GB | 7799 CNY | ~8 199 zł |
| 16 GB + 1 TB | 8499 CNY | ~8 499 zł |
The Polish price list has not been officially announced and the above amounts are estimates based on the yuan exchange rate (1 CNY ≈ 0.54 zł) and distributor margin (traditionally 15–25% for the Pura series). For reference: the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra cost 9,999 CNY (about 5,400 zł) in China, while in Poland it was sold for 6,499 zł — with VAT and distribution costs, this is a fair conversion.
If Huawei maintains a similar pricing policy, Pura 90 Pro Max in Poland will fall within the range of 6,999–8,499 zł depending on the memory variant. Competition from Xiaomi 15 Ultra (6,999 zł) and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (7,499 zł) forces Huawei to adjust prices — the top model 16 GB + 1 TB may not exceed 8,500 zł.
What else we don’t know about Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max
Three elements remain to be confirmed in the context of the European market:
- Official release date in Poland — Huawei may decide on distribution only after the first quarter of sales in China. The Pura 80 Ultra appeared in Poland 3 months after its Chinese debut; we expect a similar pattern for the Pura 90 Pro Max
- Polish pricing — the official distributor of Huawei in Poland usually announces prices about a week before the start of sales. Our estimates of 6,999–8,499 PLN are based on the yuan exchange rate and the pricing policy of its predecessor
- Available colors in Polish distribution — from the five Chinese variants (Orange Ocean, Sunset Purple, Emerald Lake, Dawn Gold, Obsidian Black), usually only two reach Poland: neutral black and exclusive gold
The topic of the top variant remains open (details below).
Huawei Pura 90 Ultra — will a top variant be created
Huawei Pura 90 Ultra is a phrase that Polish users search for on Google significantly more often than «Pura 90 Pro Max» (210 vs 10 searches per month, trend +420% month over month). The reason is simple — in previous generations, Huawei always released the Ultra variant as the absolute flagship, even stronger than Pro Plus or Pro Max. The problem is that at the conference on April 20, 2026, Huawei did not show the Pura 90 Ultra.
What does this mean? There are three scenarios:
- Ultra will debut later — just like the Pura 70 Ultra, which appeared 3 months after Pro+, the Pura 90 Ultra may have a separate conference in July or September 2026
- Pro Max replaced Ultra — Huawei may have changed the naming of the line. The Pura 80 had Ultra, the Pura 90 may not — Pro Max with a 200 MP telephoto lens realistically serves the same role as the previous Ultra
- Ultra is just a leak — it is possible that the phrase «huawei pura 90 ultra» in Google comes solely from extrapolating the names of predecessors, and such a variant may never appear
For Polish buyers, this means that if you are waiting for Ultra — you are probably wasting your time. The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max in photo specifications (200 MP zoom, variable aperture, LOFIC) surpasses the Pura 80 Ultra, so there is realistically no room for another, higher variant. Distributors openly focus on two variants instead of three — Pro and Pro Max.
Our choice: If you are looking for the strongest camera in a smartphone in 2026 and accept the lack of Google — the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max will be the best purchase of the summer. In any other scenario (Google Pay, YouTube, Android ecosystem) — the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or Xiaomi 15 Ultra will provide more satisfaction in daily use.
Summary — is it worth waiting for the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max in Poland
The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max officially debuted on April 20, 2026, and sales in China start on April 29, 2026, at prices of 6,499–8,499 CNY (approx. 3,500–4,500 PLN). In Poland, we expect availability from July to September 2026 at prices of 6,999–8,499 PLN. The upgrades compared to the Pura 80 Ultra are spectacular: 200 MP telephoto lens on a sensor with about four times larger surface area, new Kirin 9030S with 30% better AI performance, Kunlun glass with 70% reflection reduction.
The biggest advantage remains the camera set. No other flagship in 2026 has a variable mechanical aperture, a 200 MP telephoto lens, and LOFIC technology at the same time. For photographers, vloggers, and creative individuals — a natural choice. For other users — it is worth comparing with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which offer full Android with Google.

The selfie camera is 13 MP f/2.0. The telephoto lens has a sensor size equal to that of the main camera — a unique feature in the smartphone industry.
What battery does the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max have?
The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max comes with a 6000 mAh battery featuring silicon-carbon technology. Wired charging operates at 100 W (from 0 to 100% in about 38 minutes), while wireless charging reaches 80 W (full charge in 50 minutes with Huawei Wireless SuperCharge). The phone also supports reverse wireless charging, allowing it to act as a power bank for headphones or a smartwatch.
What processor does the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max have?
The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 9030S — Huawei’s proprietary processor manufactured in China by SMIC using a 7 nm+ process. The chip offers about 30% better AI performance and a 15% higher Geekbench multi-core score compared to its predecessor, the Kirin 9020 from the Pura 80 Ultra. The phone runs on HarmonyOS 6.1.
Does the Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max have Google Play?
No, Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max runs on HarmonyOS 6.1 without Google services. There is no Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, or YouTube as native apps. Huawei offers its own App Gallery, which supports popular Polish banking apps (mBank, PKO BP, BLIK), but some apps (Netflix, public transport apps) require manual installation from APK files.
What is the difference between Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max and Pura 90 Pro?
Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max has a larger screen (6.9″ vs 6.6″), significantly better telephoto lens (200 MP vs 50 MP), better ultra-wide (40 MP vs 12.5 MP), and LOFIC technology in the main camera. The processor, RAM, charging, and selfie are identical. Pro Max is also 17.5 g heavier and costs about 1000 CNY more. Pro is a better choice for those looking for a compact flagship, while Pro Max is for photographers requiring top zoom.
Will there be a Huawei Pura 90 Ultra?
At the conference on April 20, 2026, Huawei did not show the Pura 90 Ultra variant. There are three scenarios: Ultra will debut with a few months delay (like Pura 70 Ultra in 2024), Huawei has abandoned Ultra in favor of Pro Max as the flagship, or Ultra will not appear at all in this generation. The second scenario seems the most likely — Pura 90 Pro Max with its 200 MP telephoto lens and LOFIC technology surpasses Pura 80 Ultra, so realistically there is no room for a higher variant.
