Huawei Eyes Mate 90 Pro Max, RS Selfie Upgrade as 50MP Nova 16 Kept Older Lens

3 articles · Updated · HC Newsroom · Jul 4

Summary

  • SmartPikachu said Huawei is planning a “major” front-camera upgrade for the Mate 90 Pro Max and RS Ultimate, pointing to new imaging hardware on the upcoming flagship phones.
  • The leak did not give specifications, leaving open whether Huawei will adopt a 1:1 square-format selfie sensor or retain its current setup with software or hardware refinements.
  • Earlier rumors had linked that 1:1 selfie sensor to the Nova 16 line, but Huawei instead shipped the series with a 50MP ultra-wide front camera and a color-reproduction or multispectral lens.
  • That shift puts the Mate 90 high-end models back at the center of expectations for Huawei’s next selfie-camera jump, though the final hardware remains unconfirmed.
