Huawei’s New Phones For Photographers
credits: Huawei
While Huawei is not the name it once was in Western markets, it remains one of the biggest smartphone brands in China and continues to put a strong emphasis on mobile photography. The company is now expanding its latest photography-focused flagship phones internationally, bringing the Pura 90s Pro Max and Pura 90s Pro to Europe. Interestingly, the phones are sold simply as the Pura 90 Pro Max and Pura 90 Pro in China, with Huawei adding the “s” only to the global versions, although it has not explained what the letter stands for.
The biggest highlight is the Pura 90s Pro Max, which has a 200MP telephoto camera built around a large 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor. That is roughly the size of the main sensors found in many flagship smartphones, but Huawei has paired it with an approximately 96mm-equivalent f/2.6 lens, offering around 4x optical zoom. The camera also supports 7-stop optical image stabilisation, a telephoto macro mode, and a new 20x ultra-telephoto video mode. Full-resolution 200MP photos can be captured at the native focal length, while normal shooting relies on pixel binning for improved low-light performance. Alongside the telephoto camera is a 50MP main sensor with LOFIC technology for improved dynamic range and a rare 10-step variable aperture that ranges from f/1.4 to f/4.0, plus a 40MP ultra-wide camera. Huawei has also included its second-generation True-to-Colour Camera 2.0, which is designed to improve colour accuracy, particularly under challenging mixed lighting. Another interesting addition is a composition assistant that tells you to move forward, backward, or sideways before taking a photo to improve your framing.
The Pura 90s Pro keeps the same 50MP main camera with its f/1.4-f/4.0 variable aperture, but replaces the 200MP telephoto with a 50MP f/2.1 telephoto macro camera and changes the 40MP ultra-wide for a 12.5MP version. Outside of the camera system, the Pro Max features a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 2880 × 1308 resolution, and weighs approximately 230.5g. The Pro gets a slightly smaller 6.6-inch LTPO OLED display, a 2760 × 1256 resolution, and weighs around 213.5g. While the Chinese models include 6,000mAh batteries, the European versions will ship with 5,200mAh cells to comply with EU regulations. Huawei has not yet announced pricing or confirmed exactly which European markets will receive the phones.
The Latest Fujifilm X-T6 Rumours

It has been a relatively quiet year for Fujifilm so far, with most of the company’s launches focusing on the Instax lineup. That looks set to change soon, as sources now point to the first week of September 2026 for the official unveiling of the brand new Fujifilm X-T6. Beyond replacing the popular X-T5, the new camera is also expected to introduce Fujifilm’s next generation of APS-C hardware, which will likely form the basis for many future X-series models.
Based on the latest rumours, the X-T6 is expected to feature a 40-megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor paired with the new X-Processor 6, bringing faster overall performance, better power efficiency, and an upgraded AI-powered autofocus system with improved subject detection and tracking. Other rumoured features include up to 8 stops of in-body image stabilisation, a 200MP Pixel Shift mode, dual UHS-II SD card slots, Wi-Fi 6, weather sealing, and a larger NP-W255 battery that is said to deliver around 750 shots per charge. Fujifilm is also expected to make a few ergonomic changes, including redesigned top-plate dials, while keeping the classic X-T design that the series is known for.
Video is also expected to get a big upgrade. Current reports point to 8K/30p recording, oversampled 4K, 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording, F-Log2, and support for ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW output over HDMI. The camera is also rumoured to shoot at up to 60fps with the electronic shutter and introduce a new film simulation with deeper, richer colours. The expected body-only price currently sits between $2,199 and $2,399.

Something You Have To Check Out
Most Men Notice Aging All at Once
Men's skin is 25% thicker than women's. That sounds like an advantage. It isn't. Thicker skin delays the visible signs of aging — until collagen drops. And when it drops, it drops hard: heavier eye bags, deeper wrinkles, dark spots, loss of firmness. All at once. Most men were never taught to get ahead of it. That's where Particle Face Cream comes in. A 6-in-1 formula engineered specifically for men's skin — reduces eye bags, dark spots, and wrinkles, restores firmness, hydrates deeply, revives dull tone. Two minutes a day. No complicated routine. Over 1,000,000 men already use it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee. 20% off with code BH20.
