High-end Huawei Mate 90 models may see a $150 price hike
Huawei is expected to increase the prices of its upcoming Mate 90 flagship smartphone series by up to $150. The lineup will feature multiple high-end models with advanced RAM configurations and significant design changes.
Why it matters
Rising component costs and supply chain shortages are forcing major tech manufacturers to pass costs onto consumers, signaling a broader trend in the premium smartphone market.
Huawei has started increasing the price for its devices, and the upcoming Mate 90 models won’t be able to escape this hike. If not the standard variants, the Pro Max and RS Ultimate handsets will likely see a significant rise in their cost tag this time.
A new report by Weibo tipster FixedFocus indicates that the high-end Huawei Mate 90 models could see a price hike of up to 1000 yuan (around $150).
It’s not the first time that the Mate 90 series is making headlines for its price. Many tipsters suggested that the 2026 Mate flagship may have a high cost rate due to rising component costs and memory shortages in the market.
