Huawei’s Ruiying Z10 turns the Mate 90 Pro Max into a dedicated camera

The Ruiying Z10 distinguishes itself from standard teleconverters by functioning as a standalone camera module that relies on the host phone solely for processing power and interface. Featuring a variable aperture of f/2.0-f/4.5, the lens provides a significant sensor upgrade over the phone's native hardware. Despite its substantial 346g weight and bulky form factor, it offers a portable alternative to mirrorless setups, potentially bypassing venue restrictions that typically prohibit traditional camera gear.

Compatibility is currently restricted to the collector’s edition of the Mate 90 Pro Max and the Mate 90 RS, both of which feature the specialized screw-mount required to secure the lens. These handsets are already high-spec performers, boasting a 1.1.28-inch-type main sensor, a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto, and a 6.9-inch OLED display capable of 12,000 nits. Driven by the Kirin 9050 Pro chip and a 6,800mAh battery, the hardware provides the necessary throughput to handle the data-heavy output from the Z10’s oversized sensor.
