Huawei has pushed a new HarmonyOS update to the Huawei Enjoy 90 Pro Max, and the phone is getting a rare double upgrade: a beefed-up Game Assistant and smarter gallery tools. The update matters because the model already stands out for one headline number Huawei keeps highlighting – its 8,500 mAh battery, the largest in the company’s history.
Huawei Enjoy 90 Pro Max gets a new Game Assistant
The update arrives as HarmonyOS 6.1.0.210, and the Enjoy 90 Pro Max becomes the first phone in the family to get the new Game Assistant. Huawei says the feature adds a high-performance mode designed to improve gaming performance, while also letting users trigger ”Knuckle Shield” or ”Do not disturb” during play so notifications stay out of the way.
The assistant also broadens access to gaming services, including communities, events, and gift packs. It puts game guides, event rewards, recent news, and online teammates a tap away from the game launch screen.
Gallery cleanup and editing tools get an upgrade
Huawei is also polishing the gallery app instead of leaving it as a photo dump. The new intelligent cleanup feature is meant to sort duplicates and similar shots more easily, which should save a few gigabytes on a phone with this much battery and presumably plenty of photos to match.
Editing gets a small but useful refresh too: stickers are added, drawing tools now support direct insertion of arrows, lines, squares, and circles, and text handling has been expanded with more decorative styles and text boxes.
Enjoy 90 series launch details
The Enjoy 90 series debuted on 23 March with three models: the base version, the Enjoy 90 Plus, and the Enjoy 90 Pro Max. The lineup uses Kirin 8000 chips and HarmonyOS 6, and Huawei said day-one sales reached 250,000 phones. That gives Huawei a reason to keep feeding the series with software updates instead of waiting for the next hardware cycle.
- Battery: 8,500 mAh
- Chipset: Kirin 8000
- Software: HarmonyOS 6.1.0.210
- New features: Game Assistant, gallery cleanup, new drawing and text tools
The update makes the phone a little more compelling for gaming and photo management, especially if Huawei is trying to keep the Enjoy 90 Pro Max in the spotlight between hardware launches. For now, the software update does the sensible thing: it makes a big phone feel a little less like a battery with a screen attached.
