While most people are interested in the hardware on these future flagship handsets, it seems that Huawei has not yet given up on premium smartphones globally, even in the current global situation. From what it seems, Huawei’s latest flagship handset is getting ready to introduce a 200MP periscope telephoto lens that will improve both light gathering and zoom performance on the Pura 90 Pro Max.As the leaks have already pointed out, Huawei will improve its imaging performance with the help of its latest XMAGE imaging technology and new AI photography features. Industry insiders are now indicating that Huawei is keen on developing and further pushing the Huawei premium smartphone lineup internationally as it is relying on flagship imaging technology along with computational photography to get the same edge.Why Huawei's XMAGE technology remains central to the Pura 90 seriesHuawei’s custom XMAGE photography system will continue to be one of the selling points of the Pura 90 series. It appears that XMAGE leverages advanced hardware in combination with computational photography powered by Artificial Intelligence in order to produce high-quality images in all kinds of lighting conditions.Based on the leak, this will be enhanced by new camera hardware on Pura 90 phones including the 200-megapixel periscope camera on the Pro Max variant which promises better zoomed shots, color accuracy and range.How the Huawei Pura 90 lineup differs across modelsAccording to previously announced Chinese specifications, each model targets a different segment of flagship buyers. The standard Huawei Pura 90 is expected to offer a flat OLED display, a large battery, and a triple-camera setup.
