Capture Your South Africa, Your Way: New 5G HUAWEI Pura 90s Series delivers a 200MP Ultra Large Sensor Telephoto Camera

Hi Friends, 

Some moments only happen once. A breathtaking sighting in the bush. The winning goal. The last light over Table Mountain. Your favourite artist taking to the stage. And today, that moment is the official launch of the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series in South Africa.

Redefining the flagship photography experience, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series embodies Huawei's philosophy of “Now is Your Moment.” Combining breakthrough imaging technology, intelligent AI photography, refined craftsmanship and powerful everyday performance, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series empowers South Africans to capture life's defining moments with exceptional clarity and authenticity.

Capture Your South Africa, Your Way: New 5G HUAWEI Pura 90s Series delivers a 200MP Ultra Large Sensor Telephoto Camera

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series doesn't just elevate and improve smartphone photography. It also marks the return of 5G connectivity to Huawei flagship smartphones in South Africa, giving users faster downloads, smoother streaming and quicker sharing of the moments that matter most.

"South Africans are a passionate nation and nowhere is that passion more evident in how they capture and share life's most meaningful moments, whether they're travelling, enjoying the outdoors, supporting their favourite teams or celebrating with family and friends," said Jerry Wang, Vice President, Huawei Consumer Business Group South Africa. "The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series was created to help people preserve those moments exactly as they remember them. This launch represents an important milestone for Huawei in South Africa. Not only does it introduce our most advanced flagship camera system yet, but it also marks the return of 5G connectivity to our flagship smartphone portfolio. Together, these innovations create a faster, smarter and more connected experience for our customers, where we are giving them a phone series that delivers the ability to capture extraordinary moments and share them faster than ever before."

Photography without compromise
At the heart of the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is Huawei's most advanced imaging system yet, designed to deliver exceptional results across every shooting scenario.

Leading the lineup, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max features an industry-leading 200MP Ultra Large Sensor Telephoto Camera, establishing a new benchmark for long-range photography. Whether capturing wildlife from a distance, photographing sporting moments or recording live performances, users can capture remarkable detail with outstanding clarity and stability.

The camera system is further enhanced by chip-level 200MP RAW real-time processing technology, enabling remarkably crisp 20x telephoto video recording, while CIPA 7.0 image stabilisation minimises handheld blur, delivering sharper, steadier results, even in challenging shooting conditions.

The series also introduces True-to-Colour Camera 2.0, delivering a 43% improvement in colour accuracy and a 34% wider colour gamut, faithfully reproducing scenes with vibrant, true-to-life colours whether photographing golden sunsets, city skylines or everyday family moments.

Huawei's latest intelligent photography tools further simplify the creative process. AI Composition acts as a real-time photography assistant, recognising portraits, landscapes and architecture while providing intelligent framing guidance. AI De-glare removes unwanted reflections from windows, glass and display surfaces while preserving natural skin tones and fine detail. Meanwhile, AI Move allows users to reposition or duplicate subjects within an image while seamlessly reconstructing backgrounds and matching lighting for natural-looking results.

A design inspired by colour and expression
The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is as distinctive in appearance as it is in performance. Guided by Huawei's Rhythm of Colour design philosophy, the series embraces a refined flat-edged design that draws inspiration from changing light, landscapes and everyday experiences, creating a clean, sophisticated aesthetic across the range.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max is available in Blush Gold, inspired by the first light of dawn; Blaze Purple, evoking the beauty of twilight in bloom; and Graphite Black, reflecting the quiet depth of the cosmos. Each finish captures a different moment in nature, bringing Huawei's Rhythm of Colour design philosophy to life.

For users looking for a lighter, more playful aesthetic, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro is available in Orange Soda, Coconut White and Mulberry Black, combining refreshing, holiday-inspired colours with a clean, contemporary finish.

Built for the everyday life you live
A flagship smartphone needs to do more than take exceptional photographs. It needs to perform wherever life takes you.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max features Anti-Reflection and Scratch-resistant Kunlun Glass, reducing screen reflections by up to 70% to improve visibility outdoors while also offering enhanced scratch resistance and helping minimise fingerprint smudges. Whether checking directions in bright sunlight or reviewing photographs outdoors, users can enjoy a clearer, more comfortable viewing experience.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series also introduces Huawei's all-new system-level AI assistant, Celia, which provides smarter, more intuitive everyday interactions and helps users complete common tasks more efficiently.

Powering the series is a 6000mAh battery, delivering dependable all-day performance across the lineup. The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro supports 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge, while the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max supports 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge, allowing users to spend less time charging and more time creating, capturing and connecting.

Marking the return of 5G connectivity to Huawei flagship smartphones in South Africa, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series combines Huawei's decades of communications innovation with faster upload and download speeds, stronger signal performance and a smoother mobile experience. With 5G streaming high-definition content, joining a video call, navigating on the move or uploading high-resolution photos and videos, you can capture with Master Zoom and share with Max Speed, staying connected with greater speed and confidence wherever 5G coverage is available.

Now is Your Moment
From unforgettable encounters and spectacular landscapes to those everyday moments that define life in South Africa, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series has been designed for the moments people never want to miss.

Bringing together industry-leading imaging, intelligent AI photography, sophisticated design, 5G connectivity and dependable everyday performance, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series represents Huawei's latest vision for the flagship smartphone experience, giving users the confidence to capture every moment exactly as they experienced it.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is now available through select retailers, Huawei Experience Stores, operators and the Huawei Online Store, from R849 per month over 36 months or from R19,999.

Hi Friends, 

The Rand Show is reaffirming its place as South Africa’s most accessible and family-friendly exhibition by placing quality and value firmly at the centre of its 2026 offering. With a host of free activities included in the price of a ticket, as well as a special R50 opening day offer. The country’s most iconic show is making it easier than ever for everyone to experience its full scale, energy and variety.

From the moment visitors step through the gates, The Rand Show delivers an experience where entertainment, discovery and participation are already built in. Across multiple halls and outdoor areas, ticketholders can enjoy live performances, interactive zones, educational exhibits and high-energy demonstrations without paying extra.

Families with younger children can head to Hall 8, home of the much-loved Kids Zone, known for an awe-inspiring themed ‘world’ and hands-on activities. 2025 featured an ‘Ocean Wanders’ world – and 2026 will not disappoint – with a newly themed activation, promising a magical experience.

THE RAND SHOW IS SWITCHED ON with an exciting new Tech and Gaming Arena

Hi Guys, 

The Rand Show has announced the launch of a brand-new Tech and Gaming Arena, a high-energy zone where visitors can play, build, compete and explore the future – all in one electrifying space at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec, from 2–6 April 2026.

Built for curious kids, competitive gamers, creative makers and tech-first families, the Arena brings together leading names in gaming, innovation and pop culture to deliver hands-on experiences that go far beyond ‘watching’ tech. Here, visitors become part of it.

NAG brings a future-ready playground of tech, LEGO and next-gen experiences

Powered by NAG, the zone will showcase a dynamic mix of creativity and real-world innovation – from a live hackathon where teams solve problems at speed, to hands-on robotics that put visitors in control of the technology shaping tomorrow.

A massive LEGO experience invites visitors to build, create and contribute to a growing education-inspired bridge, while collecting a custom LEGO Minifigure to take home. For pure, immersive play, the Arena will also feature a LEGO pit filled with millions of bricks, ready to become anything the imagination can construct.

Visitors can also learn tech fundamentals through unplugged coding, using LEGO to explore the basics of programming logic and robotics – no screens required.

And for adrenaline seekers? The energy shifts into overdrive with a LAN gaming arena offering free-play stations, competitions and prizes, plus a PlayStation 5 football experience where every match is a chance for visitors to prove their skills.

Adding a powerful grassroots dimension to the Tech and Gaming Arena, Kasi Flare, powered by Mettlestate, will host a live competitive gaming tournament at this year’s Rand Show, showcasing some of South Africa’s rising township esports talent.

Born from a vision to create access, opportunity and pathways into competitive gaming, Kasi Flare has built an ecosystem that gives township gamers a platform to compete, connect and grow. At the Rand Show, visitors will experience the energy of township esports first-hand, as players battle it out.

Tech goes fully immersive with Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences, 3D-printing demonstrations that showcase how ideas can become real products, and a racing simulator that lets visitors feel the rush of driving the iconic Kyalami racetrack.

“We are excited to showcase technology, in all its forms, gaming is certainly one, but there is so much more we want visitors to experience. We aim to grow this into 2027 and beyond,” says Len Nery, Director and Publisher of New Age Gaming.

“This year’s Tech and Gaming Arena is all about participation,” says Adele Hartdegen, CEO of The Rand Show. “It’s a space where families can discover future skills together, where young people can be inspired by real innovation, and where visitors can enjoy gaming and technology experiences that are exciting, accessible and unforgettable.”

Anime After Hours brings Africa’s biggest anime and pop-culture community to the show, delivering a vibrant surge of energy and a fully immersive experience to the Arena. As Africa’s leading anime hub, AAH offers a high-octane program of live stage content, elite cosplay, and community-driven gaming. Visitors can look forward to J-Pop and K-Pop performances, interactive games like "Guess the Song" challenges, and an exclusive 2026 seasonal preview. The stage also bridges the gap between fandom and career, featuring professional panels on copyright and intellectual property protection, alongside sessions with the International Embassy on overseas study and career pathways.

The excitement extends to a massive marketplace featuring independent artists' works and specialist vendors stocked with officially licensed merchandise. It is a premier destination for collectors to score premium figurines, statues, and stylish apparel, or dive into the mystery of blind boxes and authentic capsule toys (Gashapon). Whether you are hunting for TCG, board games, manga, and comics, or searching for rare music CD/DVDs and plushies, the AAH zone is the ultimate hub to level up your collection with authentic, high-quality gear.

Also powering the Arena is RGB Gaming, delivering high-energy esports experiences designed to showcase how gaming can be both exciting and deeply educational. With a strong focus on structured, school-based esports, RGB Gaming continues to champion responsible, skills-driven competitive gaming that aligns with 21st-century learning outcomes.

Building on last year’s incredible momentum — where more than 50 schools participated in organised tournaments — RGB Gaming will once again host dynamic inter-school competitions. These tournaments are more than just matches; they are professionally managed esports experiences that teach learners about teamwork, communication, leadership, discipline, and strategic thinking. Schools will compete in a safe, supervised environment that emphasises sportsmanship, inclusivity, and personal growth alongside competitive performance.

THE RAND SHOW IS SWITCHED ON with an exciting new Tech and Gaming Arena

Beyond the school tournaments, the stand will open its doors to the public with free-play gaming sessions throughout the event. Children, parents, and adults alike will have the opportunity to jump in, pick up a controller, and experience firsthand how modern gaming can positively contribute to development. From collaborative challenges that strengthen teamwork to fast-paced problem-solving scenarios that sharpen decision-making skills, visitors will see how gaming builds digital literacy and critical thinking in a practical, engaging way.

Educators and parents will also gain insight into how structured esports programs can be integrated into schools to support STEM learning, digital citizenship, and career pathways within the growing gaming and esports industry. RGB Gaming’s presence at the Arena highlights a powerful message: gaming, when guided and structured correctly, is not just entertainment — it is a platform for education, innovation, and future-ready skills development.

Whether competing, learning, or simply playing for fun, visitors can expect an immersive experience that demonstrates how esports can inspire the next generation of digital leaders.

One zone. Endless reasons to stay longer.

From hackathons and robotics to cosplay and esports, the Tech and Gaming Arena is set to be one of the most talked-about new additions to The Rand Show – designed to keep visitors moving, playing and discovering, all day long.

The Rand Show 2026 takes place 2–6 April 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec.
