In addition to foldable screen phones that have attracted much attention in the recent smartphone market, candy bar flagships still have their loyal fans. HUAWEI’s latest Pura 90s Pro Max Hong Kong version is officially launched. This new phone marks Huawei’s return to the 5G market and brings significant hardware upgrades in photography performance. For users who value shooting quality and daily practicality, Pura 90s Pro Max undoubtedly provides a highly competitive replacement option.
This is my first contact with HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max. The fuselage is equipped with a 6.9-inch large OLED screen. Although the large-size design makes the fuselage slightly heavier, the overall width is similar to the mainstream candy bar flagships currently on the market. It is still easy to hold and operate with one hand. The “Orange Sea” color scheme tested this time has a strong metallic texture. The color of the back of the phone will show a visual effect of gradient from orange to gold under the refraction of light, and the appearance design is very layered. The power and volume keys are integrated on the right side of the fuselage, and the layout is intuitive for daily use. Since it is equipped with high-standard XMAGE three-lens and red maple primary color lens modules, the lens assembly on the back of the camera will inevitably protrude slightly. However, as long as the original phone case that comes with the camera is put on, the stability when lying flat and the daily shooting feel will not be affected.
In terms of system applications that Hong Kong users are most concerned about, the Hong Kong version of Pura 90s Pro Max is preloaded with the international version of EMUI 16 system based on Android 16. Users only need to use tools such as “MicroG” and “GBox” to successfully install GMS services in simple steps, and log in to their accounts to download various applications on Google Play. Actual tests have proven that Hong Kong-based applications such as Chrome, YouTube and Google Maps can run stably without crashes. However, the McDonald’s mobile application is temporarily incompatible. The overall operating experience is no different from that of ordinary Android flagship phones. In addition, the new phone also supports artificial intelligence assistants such as Google Gemini, and its Cantonese voice recognition performance is accurate. Users can check the weather forecast or obtain various information in daily spoken language, further improving the convenience of hands-free operation.
In terms of hardware performance, the new machine is equipped with Kirin 9030s chip, and its computing power is significantly improved compared to previous models. In the test of running the large-scale three-dimensional game “Genshin Impact”, whether it is character movement, combat or scene switching, the system screen can remain smooth without obvious delays or frame drops, which is enough to cope with high-demand gamers.
Photography functions have always been the core selling point of HUAWEI mobile phones. Pura 90s Pro Max is equipped with a powerful XMAGE imaging system. The hardware includes a 50-megapixel OIS super-concentrated main lens, a 40-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a 200-megapixel OIS telephoto lens, and a second-generation red maple primary color lens is added. When shooting in daylight conditions, the color reproduction of the photos is extremely high, especially when processing red and orange tones. As for the night scene mode, it also maintains a consistent level of stability, effectively retaining picture details and controlling noise in low-light environments. Coupled with excellent zoom capabilities and depth-of-field calculations, it can provide professional-level imaging quality whether shooting landscapes or portraits.

In summary, the Hong Kong version of HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max provides 12GB RAM and 512GB storage space, and is equipped with a 6,000mAh large-capacity battery, ensuring ample daily battery life. Combined with 5G network connection, top-notch photography hardware and convenient GMS compatibility solution, this new phone is not only suitable for users in the original Huawei ecosystem to upgrade, but is also practical enough to attract other Android users to switch to experience.
