集齐龙珠的过程，不可谓不漫长。
在刚刚结束的华为 Mate 90 系列发布会上，笔者终于见到了 2026 年高端机市面的最后一块拼图。
本次发布会上，华为一口气发布了 Mate 90、Mate 90 Pro、Mate 90 Pro Max、Mate 90 RS 非凡大师四款旗舰手机，以及若干耳机和手表等一系列新品。
并且截至今日，鸿蒙 6 与鸿蒙 7 终端设备数量已经突破了 9000 万，突破一亿大关指日可待。在今年一系列新形态设备的促进下，市面对于鸿蒙生态的认可度也在与日俱增：
不过由于 Mate 90 系列新机在发布会前已经在华为门店展出，发布会上的外观外观、配色和形态就不是那么惊喜了。
重点在于，华为 Mate 系列标志性的星环镜头模组，以及在 Mate 60 系列首秀的双拼色背板，今年全部回归：
其中，Mate 90 标准版有晶格粉、晶格绿、零度白、曜石黑四款配色，存储 12+256GB 起步，顶配则有 12+1TB 可选，起步价 5999 元：
而 Mate 90 Pro 与 Pro Max 则有琥珀橙、翡冷翠、玫瑰金、晶钻白、曜石黑五色，同为 12+256GB 起步，最高可以选配到 16+1TB，起步价为 6999 元（Pro）和 9499 元（Pro Max）：
今年的 Mate 90 RS 非凡大师则是瑞红、皓白、玄黑三款双拼色，边框和下半部机身使用了亮面钛金属材质，起步价直接来到了 12999 元：
另外的好消息是：Mate 90 系列没有什么复杂的流程，今天直接全系开售，有需要的读者们可以开始拼手速和拼网速了——
门槛足够低，上限足够高
考虑到今年手机市面总体的定价策略，华为 Mate 90 系列的售价实际上说不上特别便宜，仍旧遵循着 Mate 系列一贯的高端定位。
但看过发布会之后，几乎所有人都得承认——最贵的一代 Mate 也搭载了最「满血」的硬件规格。
其中最引人关注，也是最影响深远的，当然是 Mate 90 Pro Max 所搭载的麒麟 9050 Pro 处理器了：
作为新一代架构大升级的麒麟处理器，麒麟 9050 Pro 在 CPU 和 GPU 表现上都有了长足的进步——
依据发布会介绍，麒麟 9050 Pro 使用的 9C16T 灵犀 CPU 多核表现相比上代提高 23%，马良 GPU 渲染表现提高 40%，NPU 表现更是一口气拉升了 140%。
除了基础图形，麒麟 9050 Pro 的强项也涵盖硬件级光线追踪：
每秒 5500 万条光线渲染数，让 Mate 90 Pro Max 在《暗区突围》、《鸣潮》等适配光追的鸿蒙原生游戏感受有了显著的进步。
尤其是《暗区突围》，更是在 Mate 90 Pro Max 上首发了 120 帧极致光追，彻底撇开了「华为不合适打游戏」的刻板印象。
总之，结合上半年华为关于芯片外观的论文，以及此前在 Mate XT2 上的实际表现，麒麟 9050 Pro 作为「韬定律」指导下应用「逻辑折叠」工艺的拳头机型，的确没有让人失望。
不过 Mate 90 系列不是标配麒麟 9050 Pro 处理器，仅 Mate 90 Pro Max 16GB 版、典藏版和 RS 非凡大师有搭载。
Mate 90 Pro 使用的是小改款麒麟 9035 处理器，Mate 90 标准版上则是麒麟 9030：
除了万众瞩目的处理器，Mate 90 系列对于继承之前 Mate 系列上的出色能力，也是毫不含糊的。
Mate 90 Pro 系列不仅继承了好评如潮的双层 OLED 显示屏，更是在此基础上升级到了全新的第二代灵珑屏——
这块显示屏的 1% APL 峰值亮度可以飙到恐怖的 12000 尼特，更常用的 20% APL 窗口亮度也可以稳住 6000 尼特。
转换到实际使用中，这两组数字意味着 HDR 照片中的点光源可以更加耀眼，电影和视频的观感也会更震撼，同时还比单层 OLED 更省电。
另外有趣的是，借助鸿蒙 7 的「灵犀微内核」，华为 Mate 90 系列还兼容了大面积 AOD 的交互操作。
例如 AOD 除了可以表明大面积导航地图与骑车码表之外，现在可以直接在 AOD 界面内缩放和检查地图，完全省略了「点亮显示屏」这一操作。
更进一步，作为华为的传统长处项目，Mate 90 系列推出了一个「拼好网」类型的能力，华为称之为通信共享：
借助多台设备之间的智能分流、通道聚合、多路并发等方式，将原本单台手机的网络压力分散出去，可以达成高铁、演唱会、密集户外情形下的网络提速和减少卡顿成效。
——如果有人问什么是鸿蒙生态的长处，这就是鸿蒙生态的长处。
并且 Mate 90 Pro Max 还可以比「拼好网」更进一步：除了双实体卡 + 双 eSIM 槽位之外，还首次兼容了四卡三待。
手机摄影的终点，是相机？
除了上述的直板机基础能力之外，Mate 90 系列的影像能力也是支撑起它售价的关键一环。
例如在 Mate 90 Pro 系列和 RS 上，华为除了正面的第三代昆仑玻璃之外，还在背面镜头模组上使用了全新的「光学昆仑玻璃」：
新的光学昆仑玻璃号称可以大幅减少传统微晶玻璃的内部散射，以达成相机在复杂光线环境下更清晰的成像，同时兼顾昆仑玻璃级别的耐摔。
另外，Mate 90 系列全系都搭载了红外光学镀膜和新一代夜景算法。
除了「通透感」之外，夜景强光源的光晕抑制、不同色温差异的平衡都达到了新的高度：
对于最关键的人像摄影，华为也在 Mate 90 系列上给出了实时肤色分区校准的能力。
借助端侧 AI 模型的能力，哪怕没有人脸入镜，也可以保证其他部位皮肤颜色的准确：
重点在于，这些工艺都处在 ISP 链路的底层，第三方 app 的视频通话、拍摄 Live 图以及视频直播都可以直接调用，达成真正的「所见即所得」。
而在传感器硬实力上，今年的 Mate 90 Pro Max 再一次突破了自我——
今年的超高动态主摄的动态范围提高到了 18EV，在火烧云、日落与黑白摄影之类特殊情形都可以给出更好的发挥。
至于长焦，Mate 90 Pro Max 从去年的双长焦思路切换回了更加传统的单 2 亿像素思路，最高兼容 20 倍率 4K60 视频，以及 2 亿像素的 RAW 数据实时处理：
换句话说，以往总是被人诟病的「长焦画油画」难题，在 Mate 90 Pro Max 的 2 亿像素 RAW 处理下，终于可以说拜拜了。
除了手机本身的影像实力，更吸引人的，无疑还是这次的睿影 Z10 模块化相机了——
作为华为 XMAGE 影像品牌焕新、新增中文名「华为睿影」后的第一个机型，首先需要明确：
睿影 Z10 不是某颗镜头的「增距镜」，而是个自带一英寸 CMOS 传感器、借助硬件触点连接手机供电和通信的「外挂相机」。
由于需要外观硬件触点，Mate 90 系列中仅 Mate 90 Pro Max 典藏版和 Mate 90 RS 非凡大师两款机器兼容外挂睿影 Z10 模块相机。
从参数上看，华为睿影 Z10 兼容 24mm 到 240mm 十倍光学变焦，因为传感器面积更大，它的实际成像成效应该会比单纯手机接增距镜的成效更好，取景自由度更高，且有显著的光学虚化：
当然，它也可以缩放到 240mm 以上，这时就轮到 XMAGE 算法发力了。由于是在一英寸传感器的 10 倍光变上继续裁切，实际成像画质也可圈可点。
依据笔者的实际感受，睿影 Z10 虽然是线控变焦，但几乎感觉不到显著的延迟；不需要套上繁琐的手机壳，也不会像增距镜壳那样挡住其他焦段。
总之，睿影 Z10 虽然体积比较大，不过使用感受和画面成效都是全面强于增距镜思路的。
当然，这套「外挂相机」思路的售价，也是远远高于增距镜的。
华为睿影 Z10 模块相机的单独售价为 5999 元，且 90 Pro Max 典藏版和 RS 非凡大师的卡口是不一样的：
这个售价对于无反相机镜头来说实际上不算突出，不过对于一款手机摄影配件来说，睿影 Z10 还是更合适想将手机真正当做相机的使用者。
Mate 的黄金时代
纵观整个 Mate 90 系列，从原本高端影像能力下放到标准版，再到 90 Pro Max 与 RS 兼容模块相机、将手机摄影的天花板抬升到相机的领地，都让人很清晰的感觉到：
Mate 系列正在转向包含外观、能力和影像的「全方位、超高端」定位。
这里的关键不是说 Mate 90 系列的相机硬件在手机里表现怎么样，而是 Mate 90 系列搭配睿影 Z10，相当于将手机摄影的竞赛，抬升到了原本属于相机的战场里。
换句话说，这是如今手机市面上少见的「影像新思路」——
虽然「手机模块化相机」这个概念并非华为首创，但可以将模块化相机与移动工艺开展如此程度的结合，并且达成量产开售，确实也只有华为做到了：
另一维度，Mate 90 全系列涵盖了从 5999（国补到手价甚至可以到 5499）元到 18999 元的巨大售价区间，千人千面都能找到合适自己的款式。
依据存储和芯片，Mate 90 全系列划分出了十几个型号和数十个 SKU，显然需要强悍的供应链管理能力。可以说，华为Mate 90 系列自己就形成了一片机海——这也许，会是存量竞争下，将来手机市面的新常态。

Collecting the Dragon Balls was no short journey by any means.
At the recently concluded Huawei Mate 90 series launch event, I finally laid eyes on the last puzzle piece in the 2026 premium smartphone market.
At this launch event, Huawei unveiled four flagship smartphones—the Mate 90, Mate 90 Pro, Mate 90 Pro Max, and Mate 90 RS Ultimate Design—along with several new earphones, watches, and other products.
And as of today, the number of HarmonyOS 6 and HarmonyOS 7 terminal devices has surpassed 90 million, with 100 million just around the corner. Under the boost of this year's series of new-form-factor devices, market recognition of the HarmonyOS ecosystem is growing day by day:
However, since the Mate 90 series新机 had already been displayed in Huawei stores before the launch event, the design, color scheme, and form factor presented at the event weren't particularly surprising.
The focus lies in Huawei's signature star-ring camera module and the dual-tone back panel that debuted with the Mate 60 series—both fully return this year:
The Mate 90 standard version comes in four colors: Crystal Pink, Crystal Green, Zero White, and Obsidian Black. Storage starts at 12+256GB, with a top configuration of 12+1TB available, and a starting price of 5,999 yuan:
The Mate 90 Pro and Pro Max come in five colors: Amber Orange, Florence Green, Rose Gold, Crystal White, and Obsidian Black. Both start at 12+256GB, with a max option of 16+1TB, and starting prices of 6,999 yuan (Pro) and 9,499 yuan (Pro Max):
This year's Mate 90 RS Ultimate Design comes in three dual-tone colors: Rui Red, Hao White, and Xuan Black. The frame and lower half of the body feature polished titanium metal, with a starting price of 12,999 yuan:
On a positive note, there's no complicated pre-order process for the Mate 90 series—full lineup goes on sale today. Interested readers can start racing against their fingers and network speed:
Low enough threshold, high enough ceiling.
Considering this year's overall pricing strategy across the smartphone market, the Mate 90 series can hardly be called particularly affordable—it still follows the Mate series'一贯高端 positioning.
But after watching the launch event, almost everyone has to admit—the most expensive generation of Mate also carries the most「fully-loaded」hardware specifications.
The most eye-catching and far-reaching of all is undoubtedly the Kirin 9050 Pro processor搭载ed on the Mate 90 Pro Max:
As a new-generation Kirin processor with a major architecture upgrade, the Kirin 9050 Pro has made significant strides in both CPU and GPU performance:
According to the launch event presentation, the Kirin 9050 Pro's 9C16T Lingxi CPU multi-core performance is 23% better than the previous generation, the Mali GPU rendering performance has improved by 40%, and the NPU performance surged by an impressive 140%.
Beyond basic graphics, the Kirin 9050 Pro's strengths also extend to hardware-accelerated ray tracing:
Rendering 55 million rays per second allows the Mate 90 Pro Max to deliver significantly improved performance in HarmonyOS native games with ray-tracing support, such as Arena Breakout and Wuthering Waves.
Notably, Arena Breakout debuted 120fps ultimate ray tracing on the Mate 90 Pro Max, thoroughly dispelling the stereotype that「Huawei phones aren't suitable for gaming.」
In short, combined with Huawei's chip appearance paper from the first half of the year and the actual performance on the Mate XT2, the Kirin 9050 Pro—positioned as the flagship model under「Tao's Law」guidance with「logical folding」process technology—certainly didn't disappoint.
However, not all Mate 90 series models come标配 with the Kirin 9050 Pro—only the Mate 90 Pro Max 16GB version, the Collector's Edition, and the RS Ultimate Design are equipped with it.
The Mate 90 Pro uses a minor-refresh Kirin 9035 processor, while the Mate 90 standard version features the Kirin 9030:
Aside from the highly anticipated processors, the Mate 90 series hasn't been shy about inheriting the excellent capabilities that the previous Mate series were known for.
The Mate 90 Pro series not only inherited the acclaimed dual-layer OLED display but also upgraded to the all-new second-generation Linglong Screen:
This display can reach a shocking 12,000 nits peak brightness at 1% APL, and sustain 6,000 nits at the more commonly used 20% APL window.
In practical use, these two figures mean point light sources in HDR photos can appear even more brilliant, movies and videos will look more immersive, and it also consumes less power than a single-layer OLED.
Additionally, thanks to HarmonyOS 7's「Lingxi Micro Kernel,」the Huawei Mate 90 series also supports interaction operations on an enlarged always-on display (AOD).
For example, beyond showing navigation maps and cycling metrics on AOD, users can now zoom in and out of maps and check details directly within the AOD interface, entirely eliminating the need to「wake the display.」
Furthermore, building on Huawei's traditional strength, the Mate 90 series introduces a「拼好网」-style capability that Huawei calls network sharing:
By intelligently distributing traffic, aggregating channels, and enabling multi-path concurrency across multiple devices, it disperses network pressure away from a single phone, delivering faster speeds and reduced lag on high-speed trains, at concerts, and in densely crowded outdoor scenarios.
—If someone asks what the strength of the HarmonyOS ecosystem is, this is it.
Moreover, the Mate 90 Pro Max goes one step further than「network sharing」: in addition to dual physical SIM slots plus dual eSIM, it also supports four-card triple-standby for the first time.
Is the ultimate destination of mobile photography a camera?
Beyond the aforementioned baseline capabilities of the slab-style phones, the imaging performance of the Mate 90 series is also a key factor supporting its premium pricing.
For instance, on the Mate 90 Pro series and RS, besides the front-facing third-generation Kunlun Glass, Huawei has also used brand-new「Optical Kunlun Glass」on the rear camera module:
The new Optical Kunlun Glass is claimed to significantly reduce internal scattering in traditional microcrystalline glass, achieving clearer imaging for the camera in complex lighting conditions while maintaining Kunlun Glass-level drop resistance.
Additionally, the entire Mate 90 series is equipped with infrared optical coating and a new-generation night mode algorithm.
Beyond「translucency,」the halation suppression of strong light sources in night scenes and the balancing of different color temperatures have both reached new heights:
For the most critical portrait photography, Huawei has also introduced real-time skin tone zone calibration on the Mate 90 series.
Leveraging on-device AI models, even when no face is in the frame, skin tone accuracy across other body parts is still guaranteed:
Importantly, these technologies are built into the底层 of the ISP pipeline, so third-party apps' video calls, Live Photo capture, and video livestreaming can all directly tap into them, achieving true「what you see is what you get.」
And in terms of sensor hardware, this year's Mate 90 Pro Max has once again pushed its own limits:
The dynamic range of the ultra-high dynamic range main sensor has increased to 18EV, delivering better results in special scenarios like burning clouds, sunsets, and black-and-white photography.
As for telephoto, the Mate 90 Pro Max has shifted from last year's dual-telephoto approach back to the more traditional single 200-megapixel setup, supporting up to 20x 4K60 video and real-time 200MP RAW data processing:
In other words, the long-criticized「painting with telephoto」problem has finally been said goodbye to under the Mate 90 Pro Max's 200MP RAW processing.
Beyond the phone's own imaging prowess, what's undoubtedly more captivating is this year's Ruiying Z10 modular camera:
As the first device under Huawei's rebranded XMAGE imaging line with the new Chinese name「华为睿影」, it needs to be made clear first and foremost:
The Ruiying Z10 is not a「teleconverter lens」for a phone—it's an「external camera」with its own one-inch CMOS sensor, connecting to the phone for power and communication via hardware contacts.
Due to the need for external hardware contacts, only the Mate 90 Pro Max Collector's Edition and the Mate 90 RS Ultimate Design in the Mate 90 series are compatible with the Ruiying Z10 modular camera.
In terms of specs, the Huawei Ruiying Z10 supports 10x optical zoom from 24mm to 240mm. With its larger sensor, its actual image quality should outperform a simple teleconverter attached to a phone, offering greater framing freedom and noticeable optical bokeh:
Of course, it can also zoom beyond 240mm—that's where the XMAGE algorithms come into play. Since it crops further from the 10x optical zoom on a one-inch sensor, the actual image quality is still quite respectable.
From my practical experience, although the Ruiying Z10 uses linear zoom control, I barely felt any noticeable lag; you don't need to attach a cumbersome phone case, nor does it block other focal lengths like a teleconverter case would.
In short, although the Ruiying Z10 is relatively large, both its handling experience and image quality全面 outperform the teleconverter approach.
Of course, the price for this「external camera」approach is also far above that of a teleconverter.
The Huawei Ruiying Z10 modular camera retails separately for 5,999 yuan, and the bay on the 90 Pro Max Collector's Edition and the RS Ultimate Design are different:
This price isn't particularly outstanding for a mirrorless camera lens, but for a mobile photography accessory, the Ruiying Z10 is better suited for users who truly want to treat their phone as a camera.
The Golden Age of Mate
Looking across the entire Mate 90 series—from imaging capabilities trickling down to the standard version, to the 90 Pro Max and RS兼容 modular cameras that elevate the ceiling of mobile photography into the realm of cameras—it's clear:
The Mate series is pivoting toward an「all-around, ultra-premium」positioning that encompasses design, performance, and imaging.
The key here isn't how the Mate 90 series' camera hardware performs among phones, but rather that the Mate 90 series paired with the Ruiying Z10 effectively elevates mobile photography competition into the arena that once belonged exclusively to cameras.
In other words, this is a rare「new imaging paradigm」in today's smartphone market:
Although「modular smartphone cameras」were not首创 by Huawei, no one else has managed to integrate modular cameras with mobile technology to this degree and achieve mass production and retail sales—Huawei is the only one:
From another dimension, the Mate 90 full series covers a massive price range from 5,999 yuan (as low as 5,499 yuan after national subsidy) to 18,999 yuan, ensuring everyone can find a model that suits them.
Based on storage and chipset configurations, the Mate 90 full series spans over a dozen models and dozens of SKUs, which clearly demands formidable supply chain management capability. In essence, the Huawei Mate 90 series has essentially become its own fleet—this may well be the new normal for the smartphone market in the era of存量 competition.
