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
