The first teaser for the Huawei Mate 90 series is expected to be revealed in early September, according to information from Weibo tipster @SuperDimensional.
The official launch of the flagship lineup is anticipated to occur in the mid-to-late weeks of September, aligning with previous reports. Huawei has aimed to return to its original launch schedule this year, after launching its Mate flagship in late November for the past two years.
Historically, the Mate series was launched between September and October, with warm-up activities starting by mid-November. However, recent chip supply chain issues had caused delays in the launch timeline by two months.
Sources indicate that Huawei may regain a timely release this year. The Kirin 2026 chip is expected to be a key highlight of the upcoming launch event, with the company stating that the new mobile SoCs will be significantly advanced compared to previous models.
The Mate 90 lineup will include four models: the standard Mate 90, Mate 90 Pro, Mate 90 Pro Max, and Mate 90 RS Ultimate, all featuring notable design changes. Additionally, the smartphones are likely to introduce new imaging capabilities, including a self-developed CMOS camera sensor.
Overall, the 2026 Mate lineup is set to debut with multiple enhancements, generating interest among consumers and industry watchers alike.
