The Huawei Pura 90s Pro series has launched globally, and its camera system has the potential to intimidate iPhones.

      Huawei’s latest camera flagship has made its way beyond China.

      Huawei’s recent flagship models are impressive photography devices, equipped with some of the most advanced camera technology available in smartphones. The Huawei Pura 90s Pro and Pura 90s Pro Max have officially been launched internationally, starting with Malaysia. They are currently available for order in that region, with plans for Huawei to expand to more global markets in the following months. The starting price for the Pura 90s Pro is 3,699 Malaysian ringgit (approximately $907), while the Pro Max is priced at 4,899 ringgit (around $1,202).

      The Pura 90s Pro Max boasts impressive camera specifications.

      The Pura 90s Pro Max features a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization and a physical aperture adjustable from f/1.4 to f/4.0, allowing photographers to control light intake and modify depth of field. One of its key highlights is a 200MP telephoto camera built around a sizable 1/1.28-inch sensor, which is comparable in size to the main camera of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

      This telephoto lens offers 4x optical zoom with a focal length equivalent to 96mm, up to 100x digital zoom, and supports 20x telephoto video. Additionally, a 40MP ultrawide camera rounds out the trio. While megapixels alone don’t guarantee image quality, Huawei appears to provide significant hardware versatility and a larger telephoto option for capturing distant subjects. In contrast, it's unlikely we will see a 200MP camera on an iPhone anytime soon.

      Huawei has a strong history in smartphone photography, and Apple may be taking note. Reports suggest that Apple is considering variable-aperture technology for the iPhone 18 Pro, a feature that Huawei has already incorporated across several of its models.

      The standard Pro model is also impressive.

      The smaller Pura 90s Pro is equipped with a 50MP f/1.4-f/4.0 main camera, a 12.5MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP macro telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom. This telephoto lens can focus as close as 5cm, providing unique versatility for macro photography, ideal for capturing flowers, food, insects, and other small subjects. Both models are powered by the Kirin 9030S processor, feature adaptive 120Hz OLED displays, and offer IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, along with 6,000mAh batteries in their Malaysian versions.

      The Pro Max supports 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, while the Pro provides 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Huawei also includes AI Composition, AI De-glare for removing reflections, and an editing tool that can reposition objects in photos. However, there are ongoing concerns regarding software, as these international models run on EMUI 16, which lacks native Google Mobile Services and the Play Store.

      WhatsApp is developing its own cloud backup solution for iPhone users.

      WhatsApp is working on a backup service offering 2GB of free storage and paid plans up to 1TB. If you frequently find your iCloud storage is full, WhatsApp may have an upcoming solution. Code discovered in the WhatsApp beta for iOS by WABetaInfo indicates that Meta is developing its own cloud backup service for iPhone users. This feature will allow users to store their WhatsApp chat history on WhatsApp's servers instead of relying on iCloud. The feature is still in development and is not yet accessible to beta testers, with no official release date announced.

      Apple may soon alert users of potentially harmful iMessages.

      Apple is reportedly enhancing iMessage’s protection against scams and cyber threats. Code found in the iOS 26.6 beta 5 indicates a feature called Malicious Message Detected. This feature will display a warning when an incoming message appears suspicious. The feature was initially noticed by a X user, who shared a mockup of the alert.

      Samsung Health may delete your data if you decline AI training consent.

      If you use Samsung Health to monitor your sleep, workouts, or medications, you might have seen a new consent option appear in the app this week. Samsung is now requesting permission to use users' health data for AI training and modeling. The catch is significant: if you refuse, Samsung will cease syncing your health data and delete all information stored in your account (via Cybernews).
