Huawei’s Mate 90 series is scheduled to be announced on October 1, and leaked images have already provided an early look at the Mate 90, Mate 90 Pro and Mate 90 RS. The images show several two-tone finishes, while the RS model appears to introduce a substantially different rear design.

Huawei revealed the announcement date on a teaser poster, but has not yet officially detailed the phones in the available information. The leaked renders and live images therefore offer the first indication of how the new lineup may look.

Huawei Mate 90 and Mate 90 Pro design

The Mate 90 and Mate 90 Pro are shown with two-tone color schemes in green, pink, black and white. The available renders depict the Mate 90 Pro, while a leaked live image also appears to show the standard Mate 90 in green and white.

Based on the images, the two regular models are expected to share a similar overall design and color approach. However, the available material does not confirm whether every finish will be offered on both phones. Huawei is expected to provide more precise details during the October 1 announcement.

Mate 90 RS gets a more distinctive rear panel

The Mate 90 RS is shown in white, red and black, with all three options using a two-tone finish. Its most notable change is the back panel, which includes a raised central section extending from the camera island toward the lower part of the phone.

The central panel uses pronounced curves, giving the RS a more aggressive appearance than the standard Mate 90 models. That shape could also affect how comfortably the phone sits in the hand, although the leaked images cannot establish how the design will feel in everyday use.

What are the small holes on the Mate 90 RS?

Another unusual detail appears directly beneath the rear camera module. The images show a group of small holes in the raised central section of the Mate 90 RS.

The purpose of these openings is not known. One possibility is that they support improved internal cooling, but the available information does not confirm that explanation. Huawei may have another function in mind, and the October 1 announcement should clarify their role if the design is accurate.

Until Huawei officially introduces the series, the leaked images should be treated as an early preview rather than a complete specification of the Mate 90 lineup. The announcement may confirm the designs, available colors and any functional purpose behind the RS model’s unusual rear panel.
