Alright, so the hard part’s over and you’ve decided your next phone is going to be the Huawei Pura 90. Great choice! But wait… there’s another tough decision left that might be even harder than choosing the phone itself: picking the color!
The color options for the Huawei Pura 90 might be limited to just three, but each one is a world of its own. Between classic Black, chic White, and that special, charming Purple, which one is going to be your buddy for the next few years? If you’re stuck, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s take a closer look together at the Pura 90’s colors to see which one is perfect for you.
Purple
Okay, look, my friend, this Purple on the Pura 90 has the exact vibe of Huawei sitting down and saying, “Alright team, let’s make something that’s not too girly, and not something guys would shy away from.” The result is this grayish-purple or, better yet, soft blue-purple that you see in the picture.
This color is honestly perfect for people who want something special but not too flashy. It’s not so common that you’ll get lost in a crowd, but it’s not a loud, screaming purple that makes everyone stare and wonder what you’re carrying. It’s a middle-of-the-road color that young people can rock, and older folks who want a break from the boring blacks and grays can enjoy too.
The texture on the back is also one of those that doesn’t show fingerprints easily, so you won’t have to be wiping it down with a microfiber cloth every 20 minutes.
Another point is that this color is way more unisex. Both girls and guys can feel comfortable with it. Because it has that blue-gray vibe, you don’t get that “whoa, that’s a girly color” feeling. I personally think if a guy gets this phone, no one’s gonna ask him why he got purple, because it really looks more like a light blue or a cool gray than a true purple!
But… let’s talk about that camera module that looks like a fidget spinner. This triangular design style is really unique and will definitely shout from a hundred meters away, “Hey everyone, I’m that cool Huawei phone,” but it’s a matter of taste. One person might fall in love with it, while another might say, “What on earth is this!”
And about a case, isn’t it a shame to hide this beautiful texture and these diagonal lines under a plastic or silicone case? If you buy this one, you’re basically brave enough to go caseless to maintain its class. It takes some serious guts, but man, it’s worth it.
If you’re someone who likes your phone to be glossy and eye-catching, this color might seem a little plain and lifeless to you. It’s definitely not for people who want their phone to shine like a mirror. This is a calm, more conservative color that’s better suited for people who prefer something classic and understated.
White
The first thing that either bummed me out or maybe relieved me (I can’t decide!) when I saw the white Pura 90 was that the cool, striped texture from the purple version is gone. This is a kind of snowy white with a simple, matte finish. But to be honest, I was a little disappointed. I thought to myself if they’d put that cool diagonal texture on the white, it would’ve looked like a pricey piece of Italian marble! But well, Huawei decided to keep it simple and modest here.
First of all, white is always white! It’s a totally safe, classic, and hassle-free color that never goes out of style. It’s like a man’s white dress shirt; it works for any occasion.
The second positive, which is a miracle for obsessive people, is the fingerprint situation. On this matte white, even with greasy hands, it doesn’t show smudges and dirt easily. So in terms of cleanliness, it’s a step ahead of the others.
I don’t even need to say this one is unisex. Both girls and guys can be comfortable with it. White is a neutral color that nobody can question you for buying! Everyone will just say, “Yeah, white is always good, always chic.”
But now we get to our controversial camera island! On the purple color, the camera module kind of blended into the body and didn’t scream for attention, but here… oh man! Against the white background, those big black lenses and the flash stare at you like black holes in space! The color contrast between white and black makes that fidget spinner design slap you right in the face with all its might. It makes anyone who looks at your phone focus entirely on the cameras. If you like your phone to be noticeable, this is great, but if you’re a minimalist, this much contrast might bother you.
As for using a case, the story is a bit different here. Since the back doesn’t have a wild texture, if you put a high-quality clear case on it, you won’t lose much of its beauty, and you’ll have peace of mind about drops. There’s just one huge nightmare: clear cases turn yellow after a few months, and then your chic white phone will look like a dingy, faded yellow phone from behind the case! So you either have to pay up for very expensive clear cases that don’t turn yellow (which isn’t even a guarantee), or just forget about a case altogether.
Wait, don’t worry, the phone’s glass back itself won’t yellow over time, but that cheap clear case certainly will!
Its white looks incredibly clean, chic, and professional, but honestly? It doesn’t have the special character and personality that the purple one had with its lines. It’s a bit too normal and common. It’s like the designer said, “Okay, let’s just make a white one so we don’t take any risks and everyone buys it.”
Black
Okay, I have to say that this black on the Huawei Pura 90 is more of a grayish-black or Graphite, not that deep, glossy black you see on, say, Samsung or iPhones. The cool, striped texture from the purple version is also missing here. This is a soft, matte black that leans a bit towards dark gray. When light hits it, it’s not so dark that it looks like a black hole, but not so light that you’d call it gray! It’s somewhere in between.
Let’s get to the first positive point of this Dark Knight. The most important and coolest thing about the black color is that it camouflages that weird camera module perfectly! Unlike the white color where the cameras were screaming for attention, here, because the background is dark, the black camera lenses just dissolve into the body of the phone.
For minimalists who want the design to be less in-your-face, this color is pure heaven. Black is always the color of power and prestige. It officially looks like the Batmobile or a stealth fighter. It’s very classic and never goes out of style.
But let me tell you some of the negatives so I’m not just praising it! 😄 People who pay for a new flagship phone usually don’t mind its design being seen. Black looks a bit too ordinary and hides that special module. From a distance, no one might even know you’re holding a Pura 90.
Here, you have a lot more freedom. If you put a clear case on it, even if it turns a bit yellow later, it doesn’t really show against the black background (it won’t be nearly as disastrous as a yellowing case on the white model). Matte cases, black silicone cases, or carbon fiber designs all match this color perfectly and create a super cool combination.
If the purple was for trend-followers and people who want something unique, and the white was for professionals and classic types, this black is exactly for those who want a dark, mysterious, and quiet style.
