* TOP Camera* TOP PHOTO/VIDEOMidrange

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of processor, battery and camera performance) Huawei remains one of world's top imaging phone companies but is struggling to overcome the devastating loss of Google services and chip bans that started almost 10 years ago. 90 Pro Max comes with a new Kirin 9030s (7nm) chip which will deliver a midrange level performance. HarmonyOS 6.1 is breaking away from Android world creating Huawei's own OS ecosystem. Question is: is camera quality your top need?

PROs

(77.1mm 230g) big and strong, attractive color options, outstanding photo and video performance from both 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + 200MP 89mm periscope telephoto + 40MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide back setup, excellent 13MP 21mm PDAF selfie, fully featured desktop replacement functionality and a fast USB-C 3.2 with the works

CONs

mediocre Kirin 9030s processor performance, only 24hr endurance from a large 6000mAh Lithium battery, inefficient LTPO AMOLED screen with sub-1300nits brightness and no Dolby Vision or HDR10+, no memory expansion, no Google apps or services (out of the box, at least), limited market availability

Xiaomi 15T

Midrange

EDITORIAL: The 15T continues in T series direction of offering Xiaomiâs version of a âflagship killerâ. Your compromises would include large size, slow USB-C 2.0 connectivity, no AF ultrawide and the 32MP un-binded selfie with no AF.

PROs

great built, very good Mediatec 8400 Ultra with UFS 4.1 performance, 2-day 5500mAh battery endurance with sub-60min 67W charging, bright >1500nits AMOLED screen with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, IP68 protection. great photos from Laica branded 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP PDAF 2x tele and reliable pics from a 12MP ultrawide. 4 years of OS updates

CONs

big and very wide, no wireless charging, no LTPO screen, poor selfie performance and inconsistent video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement or even video out (added Oct 11, 2025)
