The new Huawei Pura 90s Pro Max wants to take the camera crown in 2026 with a massive camera system packed with innovative technologies.
But how does it compare against the popular Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?
Huawei has two key advantages. The first one is a main camera coupled with a lens with 10-step variable aperture (it can go from f/1.4 to f/4.0), and the second one is a massive telephoto camera that promises the best zoom shots ever on a phone.

Looking at the hardware, the Galaxy has one extra camera at 3X, but the Huawei uses a new main camera sensor with LOFIC technology for better dynamic range, plus the company sticks with its own RYYB color array (vs traditional RGBG) that allows more light in.
Also, notice the difference in telephoto sensor size: the Huawei has a massive 1/1.28-inch tele camera vs a much, much smaller 1/2.25-inch telephoto camera on the Samsung.
