Huawei's Mate 90 series is expected to launch in September, separate from the Mate XT2 tri-fold.
A new Weibo leak has now revealed key specs of the Mate 90 Pro Max.

The leak confirms the Mate 90 Pro Max will run on the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, based on Huawei's 'logical folding' architecture.
Instead of packing more transistors into a smaller area, Huawei stacks circuits into a 3D structure, trading spatial miniaturization for what it calls time miniaturization.
Compared to the Kirin 9030 Pro in last year's Mate 80 series, transistor density reportedly increases by 53.5%, chip area shrinks by 37.5%, and power consumption at matching performance drops by 41%.
This should lead to better performance and efficiency.

Expected specifications
The device is said to feature a 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED panel with 1.5K resolution, LTPO for adaptive refresh rates, and large rounded corners on a flat screen.
Battery capacity is rumored to range from 6800mAh to 7000mAh, paired with 100W fast charging and WiFi 7 support.
Software will be handled by HarmonyOS 7, which brings a new assistant called Xiaoyi, added gaming features, and a gaming console layer built into the OS that Huawei says will keep getting updates over time.

On cameras, the rear setup could include a 200MP main sensor, a 40MP ultra-wide camera, a 50MP dual-telephoto pair, and a third-generation red maple color camera.
There's also a 15MP ultra-wide front camera and 3D face recognition for unlocking.
Design-wise, it's expected to feature a new square camera module.
However, the new Mate may not have an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner this generation either, as it's said to feature a side-mounted biometric like the Mate 80 series.
