Two new Huawei models with codes CHZ-AL60 and CAS-AL50 have passed network certification with large batteries of 6,100 mAh and 8,500 mAh, respectively. Leaks suggest they may join the Enjoy 90 (畅享 90) series, likely powered by a Kirin 8-series chipset and positioned in the ¥1,000–¥2,000 (~$140–$280) midrange segment. The tipster pointed to HarmonyOS as a compensating factor for perceived weaker processors, while observers noted Huawei’s trend of equipping midrange phones with very large batteries and high-end design cues. This follows the earlier Enjoy 90 family launches that used Kirin 8-series chips, HarmonyOS 6, and “giant” batteries starting at ¥1,499.
Huawei executive Richard Yu announced that the Hongmeng Zhixing Zunjie S800 Grand Design 'Collection Panorama' is now open for reservations, targeting a new ultra-luxury segment around ¥1.6–2.0 million (roughly $220k–$275k). The flagship MPV, built on a bespoke Tuling Longxing platform, features high-end wood inlay craftsmanship, and will offer pure-electric and extended-range powertrains. Dimensions (L/W/H) are listed at 5,480/2,000/1,536–1,542 mm with a 3,370 mm wheelbase.

Yu said drivers can enable the feature with a simple scroll of a rotary control and that the system will tune anti-roll and anti-sway functions to improve passenger comfort.

The M9 series debuted with over 140 new technologies and starts at ¥479,800, while the Ultimate long-wheelbase tops at ¥649,800.
