Most of the Ultra phones coming in 2026 are expected to launch with 200MP telephoto cameras. Xiaomi, for one, has already announced the 17 Ultra (review) with a 200MP telephoto camera. Meanwhile, Oppo and Vivo are also expected to feature a 200MP lens on their Find X9 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra, respectively.
A new leak from Digital Chat Station (DCS) now suggests that Huawei may also be looking to implement a 200MP telephoto solution on the Pura 90 Ultra.
Variable aperture + 200MP telephoto
According to DCS, one of the “top five manufacturers” is currently testing an imaging-focused flagship with a 200MP telephoto camera.
The tipster didn’t name the device directly but shared a hint that the main camera features a 50MP, 1-inch sensor with a variable aperture. This combination already exists on the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, making its successor the most obvious candidate.
Digital Chat Station adds that the 200MP telephoto sensor being tested has a 1/1.28-inch sensor size and supports 3.5x optical zoom.
The leak also reveals that Huawei is still deciding between two different sensors. The current engineering sample is undergoing A/B testing with a 40nm OV52A sensor and a more advanced 22nm SCC80XS sensor. Both sensors are the same physical size, but the 22nm option reportedly offers better hardware capabilities.
Last but not least, the leak hints that the Huawei Pura 90 Ultra could launch before China’s New Year. The Ultra is part of a lineup that is also expected to include Huawei Pura 90, Pura 90 Pro, and Pura 90 Pro Plus.
