Huawei unveiled the Mate 90, Mate 90 Pro, Mate 90 Pro Max, and Mate 90 RS Ultimate Design phones alongside a separate accessory called the Ruiying Z10. The Z10 attaches magnetically via a 'HyperClick' mount to the Mate 90 Pro Max Collector's Edition and Mate 90 RS Master Edition, adding a one-inch 50MP RYYB sensor with continuous optical zoom from 24mm to 240mm (roughly 1x to 10x) and a variable f/2.0-f/4.5 aperture.
Huawei chairman Richard Yu told Chinese media the company plans moderate price increases, citing roughly $200 in added costs per device from rising memory and component prices that have hurt profitability. The comment came alongside the launch of Huawei's Mate 90 series, including a special edition priced near $2,835 and a detachable 10x optical zoom camera module.
Huawei has released the Ruiying Z10, an attachable lens for its Mate 90 Pro Max collector's edition and Mate 90 RS phones that contains a 1-inch-type, 50-megapixel RYYB sensor larger than any sensor in the phone itself. The accessory offers a true variable 24-240mm zoom with f/2.0-f/4.5 aperture, screws directly onto the phone's camera island without needing a case, and weighs 346g while costing roughly $895.
Leakers Digital Chat Station and Ice Universe report that Huawei's Mate 90 Pro Max will have a special edition variant supporting a detachable external camera accessory. Unlike telephoto extender lenses used on rival phones, this add-on reportedly has its own 1-inch sensor with continuous optical zoom from 24mm to 240mm (1x-10x) and an aperture ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.5.
