Huawei has officially unveiled its newest flagship powerhouse in China—the Huawei Mate 90 Pro. Packed with cutting-edge display innovations, silicon upgrades, satellite connectivity, and camera technology, the device sets a bold benchmark for what modern premium smartphones can achieve.
Priced starting at ¥6,999 for the base 12GB + 256GB model, the Mate 90 Pro merges top-tier durability with refined industrial design.
Ultra-Bright 12,000-Nit Tandem OLED Display
The centerpiece of the Huawei Mate 90 Pro is its striking 6.75-inch 1.5K flat display. Utilizing next-generation Tandem (Dual-Layer) LTPO OLED technology, the screen achieves an astounding 12,000 nits local peak brightness and a 2,200 nits High Brightness Mode (HBM), guaranteeing effortless outdoor legibility even under direct, harsh sunlight.
To keep eye strain at bay during low-light sessions, the display integrates 1440Hz PWM dimming alongside a smooth 120Hz dynamic refresh rate. Protecting this visual canvas is Huawei’s tough 3rd Generation Kunlun Glass, offering top-tier drop and scratch resistance.
Next-Gen Silicon Performance & HarmonyOS 7
Under the hood, the flagship is driven by the new Kirin 9035 processor, paired alongside the upgraded Maleoon 935 GPU. This custom silicon combination delivers a substantial speed boost, delivering fluent multitasking, console-grade graphics performance, and improved efficiency.
Running out of the box on HarmonyOS 7, the Mate 90 Pro delivers a seamlessly integrated user experience with advanced system-level AI workflows, fluid animations, and robust multi-device ecosystem features.
