Huawei has introduced its new AI-powered smart glasses at its latest Pura series launch event. The device was unveiled by He Gang, CEO of Huawei Terminal BG, who wore the glasses during the presentation.

The product, called Huawei AI Glasses, comes in three color options: titanium silver gray, shimmering silver, and modern black. Huawei is also offering both round and square frame designs. 

The glasses retail for 2,499 yuan (~ $367) for the titanium silver gray and modern black versions, while the shimmering silver model is priced higher at 2,899 yuan (~ $425). Pre-orders begin on April 20, with sales starting April 25.

Huawei AI Glasses Specifications 

On design, the glasses are lightweight and will feel closer to your everyday eyewear. The company says it uses new lightweight materials and precision stacking techniques. The temples measure 6.25 mm, and the total weight is 35.5 grams. 

Huawei also claims the design is based on analysis of over 300,000 head shapes in Asia, which it uses to build what it calls a “golden triangle” structure for balance.

The glasses use a self-developed titanium alloy hinge system, which Huawei says improves stability by 21% compared to competing products. There is also mention of a 0.65 mm effective amplitude and a 120 square millimeter vibration area, which relates to the frame’s mechanical movement and fit.

Inside, the glasses are powered by a Huawei-developed AI chip. The company claims near-instant response times for voice interactions, with support for voice wake-up and a one-click AI shortcut. A few of the key features include “See the World” through Huawei’s Xiaoyi assistant and an Alipay “Look and Pay” function.

For media use, the glasses come with a 1/2.8-inch image sensor. Huawei says it supports AI RAW multi-frame fusion, along with AI-assisted composition correction and first-person perspective live streaming.

Alongside the hardware, Huawei is also launching a companion app called Huawei Glasses App. It supports pairing, smart audio broadcasting, automatic content import, and device collaboration with other Huawei products.

The Huawei AI Glasses are rated for up to 12 hours of general use, including around 8 hours of voice calls and 9 hours of continuous music playback.

Xiaomi has launched a new smart kitchen appliance in China. The company’s latest product is the Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro, which debuted on the Youpin platform. 

It is priced at 2,299 yuan (~ $338), but a limited-time offer discounts it to 1,899 yuan (~ $279). The stove is designed for natural gas users with a priority on safety, automation, and energy efficiency.

Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro Specifications 

At the core of the system is a pressure-sensitive titanium alloy probe that monitors pot temperature in real time. If it detects that a pot is overheating or running dry, the system can automatically shut off the gas and extinguish the flame. Xiaomi says this anti-dry-burning feature is available on the right burner.

Both burners also support a built-in timer ranging from 1 to 180 minutes. Once the set time is reached, the stove automatically turns off the gas flow and extinguishes the flame. 

On the performance side, the stove delivers up to 5200W of heat output. Xiaomi claims it supports high-efficiency combustion with up to 70% thermal efficiency and meets new Level 1 energy efficiency standards. The company also estimates that users could save around 1,680 yuan in gas costs over eight years.

The design also focuses on maintenance. The stove uses an anti-fingerprint AG glass panel, removable burner heads, and a detachable pot rack for easier cleaning. It also includes an adjustable chassis, which allows installation without modifying existing kitchen cutouts.

The smart features also extend to the connected home ecosystem. When paired with the Mi Home app and a compatible range hood, the stove can send alerts for abnormal usage, such as flameouts or dry burning. However, Xiaomi notes that compatibility depends on specific models, especially for older range hoods.

There are also a few limitations. The anti-dry-burning system requires direct contact with metal cookware, meaning ceramic, glass, or earthen pots may not work well with this feature.

Oppo is set to make the Find X9 Ultra official on April 21 — tomorrow — and at this point, there isn’t much left to guess. Thanks to official teasers, certification listings, and a steady flow of leaks, we are already well aware of the Find X9 Ultra in full.

As you might know, it’s a photography-first phone, but it still comes with the usual checklist of flagship features: a large battery, a high-refresh-rate display, and a top-end chipset.

Still, most of the conversation around the device comes back to the camera system. So let’s go through a roundup of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra to understand what it will offer in terms of cameras and other specs.

Cameras

Oppo’s collaboration with Hasselblad isn’t new, but this time it feels more integrated into the actual shooting experience. The company is introducing something called Hasselblad Master Mode 2.0.

The new mode is designed to deliver professional-grade photography with enhanced creative flexibility. This system introduces native film styles (Portra, 800T, TX400, XPAN), supports 16EV high dynamic range, and allows users to save up to 20 custom AI-powered presets. Not to forget, the system also supports RAW MAX and JPEG MAX across multiple focal lengths (14mm, 23mm, 46mm, 70mm, 140mm, 230mm).

As for the hardware, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a quad-camera setup that includes two 200-megapixel sensors — one for the main camera and another for a 3x zoom lens.

Alongside that, there’s a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a separate 10x periscope telephoto lens. There’s also mention of a 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor to help with color accuracy.

Here, the main sensor is said to be the Sony LYT-901, while the ultra-wide uses Sony’s LYT-600. The 3x zoom relies on an OmniVision OV52A sensor, and the 10x periscope uses a Samsung JN-series sensor.

On top of that, Oppo is reportedly working on an optional telephoto extender with 16 glass elements. For most people, the built-in 10x zoom can handle most scenarios, but those who need more reach can opt for the external kit. Oppo claims it can deliver up to 20x “optical-quality” zoom and a maximum of 120x digital zoom.

There’s also a redesigned prism structure in the telephoto system, which is said to improve long-distance shooting. Combined with optical calibration during manufacturing, Oppo seems to be focusing on consistency as much as raw zoom capability.

Design

The design of the Find X9 Ultra makes it clear what the phone is about. The back is dominated by a large circular camera module. Inside the circle are camera sensors arranged in a somewhat asymmetrical layout, sitting within a rounded rectangular island.

The rest of the back panel uses a leather-like texture with a dual-tone finish toward the bottom. It’s a small detail, but it likely helps with grip, especially on a device that weighs around 238 grams.

Color options are expected to include Velvet Sand Canyon (an orange finish), Earth Tundra (brown), and Polar Glacier (white). The top-tier 16GB + 1TB model may also come bundled with a special Hasselblad “Explorer Master Kit.”

There are also a couple of physical additions worth noting. The Find X9 Ultra has a “Quick Button” at the bottom right, which will be useful for shortcuts or quick camera access. Meanwhile, there’s a “Snap Key” at the top left for accessing AI features.

The rest of the flagship checklist

Beyond the camera, the Find X9 Ultra mostly follows the expected formula for a high-end Android phone. It’s likely to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels, along with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Configurations are expected to go up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, with satellite connectivity reserved for the top variant.

Keeping everything running is a 7,050mAh battery that is expected to support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Other features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, dual speakers, an IR blaster, and a full set of durability ratings — IP68, IP69, and IP69K. The phone will run ColorOS 16, based on Android 16.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra Roundup: Design, Display, Camera, Battery, and More appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei is rounding out its latest flagship Pura 90 lineup with the launch of the standard Pura 90. It sits below the Pro and Pro Max in the lineup, but still brings a surprisingly aggressive mix of camera hardware, battery life, and design.

At a glance, the Pura 90 shares the same rounded triangular (or “guitar pick”) camera module seen across the lineup, but the execution is noticeably different.

Instead of the symmetrical triple-camera layout on the Pro Max, the standard Pura 90 goes for an asymmetrical design. It has one large circular camera paired with smaller surrounding sensors. The design makes the base model visually different from the part. 

On the front, you get a 6.8-inch display with a centered pill-shaped punch-hole cutout. Huawei Pura 90 Pro series, in comparison, has a single punch-hole design.

Camera and Battery

Even as the “entry” model in the lineup, Huawei isn’t holding back much on imaging.

The Pura 90 features a 50MP RYYB main camera with OIS and an f/1.8 aperture, paired with a 12.5MP RYYB ultra-wide (f/2.2) and a 50MP periscope telephoto offering 3.7x optical zoom, also with OIS. Like the rest of the series, it includes Huawei’s Red Maple color system for improved color accuracy.

Up front, there’s a 50MP selfie camera, and interestingly, Huawei is adding a Red Maple color camera on the front as well, something that’s not available on the Pro and Pro Max variants.

The Pura 90 packs a 6,500mAh battery, which is actually larger than the 6,000mAh unit found in the Pro Max. It supports 100W fast charging.

Unlike the new Kirin 9030 series, the Pura 90 is powered by the Kirin 9010S processor. Still, Huawei says the performance is about 15 percent better than the previous generation. 

On the software side, the phone runs HarmonyOS 6.1, bringing the same AI-focused experience, visual refresh, and Xiaoyi assistant improvements seen across the rest of the Pura 90 series.

Despite the large battery, the Pura 90 comes in at just 7mm thick. 

Price and availability

The Huawei Pura 90 starts at 4,699 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model. The 12GB + 512GB version is priced at 5,199 yuan, while the 16GB + 512GB variant comes in at 5,699 yuan.

Huawei Pura 90	Price (CNY)	Approx. Price (USD)
12GB + 256GB	4,699 yuan	~$681
12GB + 512GB	5,199 yuan	~$754
16GB + 512GB	5,699 yuan	~$826

Alongside the wide, book-style Pura X Max, Huawei also unveiled its more conventional flagships, the Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max today. The latter is the top-of-the-line model this generation, as there will be no Ultra variant. 

Starting with the display, the Huawei Pura 90 Pro features a 6.6-inch display, while the Pro Max stretches that to 6.9 inches. Both have a single punch-hole cutout.

Huawei is still trying to make things visually distinct. The Pro Max adopts what it calls an “emotional color aesthetic,” which has an industry-first dual-color gradient metal frame and a glowing borderless theme. It comes in Orange Ocean, Emerald Lake, Sunset Purple, Dawn Gold, and Obsidian Black.

The standard Pro tones things down slightly with Pink Guava, Orange Soda, Coconut White, and Mulberry Black.

Cameras

As for the camera, the Pura 90 Pro Max leads with a 50MP RYYB main sensor (1/1.28-inch) with OIS, paired with LOFIC tech and a variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0. Huawei claims it offers up to 16 times greater dynamic range than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, alongside significantly improved highlight and shadow detail.

It’s backed by a 40MP RYYB ultra-wide camera and a 200MP RYYB periscope telephoto (also 1/1.28-inch), offering 4x optical zoom and up to 8x “optical-quality” zoom. Huawei says the telephoto system pulls in up to five times more light than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, thanks in part to what it calls an industry-first three-in-one super concentrating prism. It is also rated for CIPA 7.0 stabilization.

The standard Pura 90 Pro dials things back slightly but keeps the same core philosophy. It uses a 50MP RYYB main sensor (1/1.28-inch) with OIS and the same variable aperture setup (f/1.4–f/4.0), paired with a 12.5MP RYYB ultra-wide (13mm) and a 50MP periscope telephoto with 4x optical zoom and up to 8x optical-quality zoom.

Both phones fall under Huawei’s XMAGE branding and have a Red Maplee multispectral lens. The two also have features like 3D dynamic photos, portrait enhancements, and AI-assisted shooting tools.

Kirin 9030S and AI everywhere

Unlike the Kirin 9030 Pro on the Pura X Max foldable, both devices have the Kirin 9030S processor. The company claims a 200 percent improvement in NPU image understanding, along with gains in AI ISP color processing, telephoto video clarity, and stabilization accuracy.

On the software side, both phones run HarmonyOS 6.1. And AI is a major part of the pitch. Such features include AI pose recommendations, AI-assisted composition, portrait retouching, and one-click photo creation. The Xiaoyi assistant also gets upgrades like real-time pointing recognition and voiceprint detection.

The Pro Max also has Huawei’s Kunlun glass protection, which the company says reduces reflections by 70 percent while significantly improving scratch resistance (up to 16 times) and drop resistance (up to 25 percent).

There’s also support for long-distance voice enhancement, extending usable voice pickup up to 10 meters.

Price and availability

The Pura 90 Pro starts at 5,499 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the higher-tier (16GB + 1TB) model costs 7,499 yuan. The Pura 90 Pro Max starts at 6,499 yuan and tops out at 8,499 yuan for the 16GB + 1TB model.

The post Huawei launches Pura 90 Pro series with 200MP zoom and Kirin 9030S appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple has long been rumored to launch a wide foldable iPhone, but Huawei just beat it to the punch with the first wide, book-style foldable. As scheduled, the company today announced the Pura X Max alongside the new Pura 90 series.

The Pura X Max shifts away from the now-familiar tall foldable design and instead focuses on a wider, more paper-like aspect ratio. Both the inner and outer displays follow a √2:1 aspect ratio, which Huawei says is intended to create a more consistent viewing experience across screens.

On the outside, you get a 5.4-inch display that pushes up to 3500 nits of peak brightness and supports a 1–120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate. Open it up, and there’s a 7.7-inch inner screen with similar adaptive refresh capabilities, though brightness tops out slightly lower at 3000 nits.

Design-wise, the phone has what it calls a geometric aesthetic, with a ceramic bezel around the camera module that’s meant to give it a more polished look. It comes in five colors: Midnight Black, Zero White, Interstellar Blue, Olive Gold, and Vibrant Orange.

AI, imaging, and a lot of Huawei-specific software

Like most recent launches, AI is a big part of the pitch. The Pura X Max runs HarmonyOS 6.1 and introduces an upgraded Xiaoyi Smart Brain along with what Huawei calls a companion AI system. This system integrates with apps like Amap, Zhihu, Didi, Baidu Maps, and DingTalk, aiming to make the assistant more useful across everyday tasks.

There’s also a long list of AI-driven features, including Xiaoyi Help, Time Machine, AI note-taking, and photo editing tools. 

On the hardware side, the Pura X Max includes a 50MP main camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, a second-generation color sensor, and a 12.5MP ultra-wide camera. Huawei is branding this setup as part of its XMAGE system, with support for portrait enhancements and 3D dynamic photos.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Kirin 9030 Pro chip and runs HarmonyOS. Huawei also says the phone supports real-time ray tracing.

The foldable mechanism itself has been updated as well. Huawei is using a new basalt waterdrop hinge that reportedly increases screen space by 16% and improves drop resistance by 33%. The inner display is protected by a multi-layer structure that includes UTG glass and additional support layers.

There are also some accessories and extras. Huawei introduced the M-Pen 3 Mini stylus, which supports air gestures, includes a microphone, and can trigger the Xiaoyi assistant.

Price and Availability

The lineup is split into two tiers. The standard edition includes a 12GB + 256GB model at 10,999 yuan and a 12GB + 512GB variant at 11,999 yuan. The collector’s edition pushes things further with 16GB + 512GB at 12,999 yuan and a 16GB + 1TB option at 13,999 yuan.
