Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max may offer big changes on the camera side

While Huawei is expected to introduce the Mate 90 series in China in October, the first technical details about the series have already started to come to the fore. Latest leaks focus on the camera features of the Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max, which is expected to be the top model of the series. According to the shared information, while the company maintains its current line, especially in terms of zoom performance, it is also evaluating some new hardware options. In addition, a remarkable claim has emerged regarding the screen structure of the device.

According to information provided by Chinese leak source Smart Pikachu, a dual telephoto camera system will be used in the Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max model. This structure continues the camera layout in the Mate 80 Pro Max model introduced last year. However, it is stated that one of the telephoto cameras in the new model will support 10 times optical zoom. Considering that Huawei has been investing in high zoom capabilities for a long time, especially in mobile photography, this detail is not considered a surprise.

On the other hand, it is also claimed that the company is testing a 1-inch sensor on the main camera side. 1-inch sensors have become more common in the smartphone market in recent years, especially in flagship models. The use of larger sensors can provide advantages in matters such as low light performance, dynamic range and depth of field. However, such sensors have certain effects on device thickness and camera module size. It is not yet clear which sensor Huawei will choose or whether this hardware will be included in the final product.

Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max may come with a flat screen

Another noteworthy detail in the leak was about the screen design. Allegedly, a flat screen can be preferred in the Mate 90 Pro Max model. Considering that Huawei has frequently included curved screen designs in its upper segment models in recent years, this possible change attracts attention. It is known that choosing a flat screen offers practical advantages such as durability, reducing the risk of false touches and screen protector compatibility. In addition, some users find flat screens more useful for gaming and video consumption.

Huawei included a dual 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera in the Mate 80 Pro Max model it introduced last year. These cameras offered 4x and 6.2x optical zoom, respectively. The main camera of the device had a 50 megapixel sensor with variable aperture support. This system, supported by Huawei’s XMAGE imaging technologies, received positive comments, especially in low light performance and portrait shots.

The official launch of the Mate 90 series is still a few months away. Despite this, early leaks on the camera side show that Huawei continues its photography-focused approach. How the company will strike a balance, especially regarding zoom capabilities and large sensor usage, will become clearer with the introduction of the series. Although the information revealed is limited for now, it seems that the Mate 90 Pro Max is preparing to be an ambitious model in terms of camera hardware.
