Huawei has opened pre-orders for Pura 90 Plus and released the first official teaser of the smartphone. The model joins Pura 90, Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max, already presented in April. Marketing should start before November 8th, while the official launch is expected the week following the start of bookings.
The first image highlights the color Sunset Purplea shade between purple and orange already proposed on Pura 90 Pro Max. On the back, Huawei maintains the inverted triangle photographic module, located in the upper right corner and consistent with the aesthetic language of the other devices in the family.
The most obvious difference concerns the structure of the phone. Pura 90, Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max adopt flat profiles; the new Plus instead returns to a curved frame and a rounded rear panel, a solution that recalls Pura 80 Pro. Huawei has not yet communicated materials, dimensions or weight; therefore, the teaser allows you to evaluate above all the shapes and the finish.
Pre-orders are available through the VMall online store, Experience Stores and other authorized retailers. Huawei has provided benefits reserved for first-stage buyers, but the available material does not specify their content. The price also remains to be defined: Pura 90 starts from 4,699 yuan and Pura 90 Pro from 5,499 yuan, while the commercial positioning of the Plus has not been clarified.
Camera and chip are rumors for now
Huawei has not published the technical data sheet. Information released so far points to a RYYB main sensor from 50 megapixels and 1 inch formatcombined with a variable physical aperture. The same solution also appears in the rumors about the Pro Max model, but it is not enough to establish what differences will separate the two devices or how the camera will behave in practice.
RYYB technology replaces part of the green pixels with yellow elements to collect more light; the variable aperture, on the other hand, allows you to adjust the amount of light that reaches the sensor and the depth of field. These are potentially useful features in different shooting conditions, but the effectiveness will depend on the optics, processing and autofocus behavior, aspects that Huawei has not yet illustrated.
Rumors also attribute to the smartphone a display of 6.8 inches with 1.5K resolution and a Kirin 9020 chip. The latter would have eight cores with frequencies of 2.5, 2.15 and 1.6 GHz, flanked by a Maleoon 920 GPU. These are unconfirmed data: without official communications it is not possible to evaluate performance, consumption or any differences compared to the other Pura 90s.
The new version of the XMAGE photographic algorithm is another of the features anticipated by the rumors. Also in this case there are no details on concrete functions and improvements. Huawei is expected to reveal full configuration and pricing during next week’s launch event; until then, the clearest choice of model remains the aesthetic one, with the return to curved frames in a family that had adopted flat profiles.
