Huawei Mate 90 Keeps Circular Camera as New Kirin Chip Targets Post-Moore Gains in 2026

Summary

  • Second-half 2026 is the expected launch window for Huawei’s Mate 90 series, which a leak says will keep the large circular rear camera layout.
  • Fix Focus Digital said the camera module should stay the same size as on the current Mate 80 line, extending Huawei’s long-running Mate design language.
  • That design was reshaped on the Mate 80 into a two-ring module plus decorative ring, creating an “8” or infinity-like look instead of a single circle.
  • The leak also points to a new Kirin chip using “Logic Folding” technology, which is described as a way to push performance beyond Moore’s Law-era physical limits.
  • Huawei is also said to be preparing new accessories for the Mate 90 aimed at lifting zoom photography closer to professional-camera levels.
