Huawei gave us an official look at the Huawei P50 series at the end of its event today. The reveal which was unexpected confirmed the renders we have seen in the past few weeks.
As seen in the image below, the Huawei P50 series will indeed have two pretty large round camera housings that hold the cameras. It is an unusual camera design and the internet is divided about it.
We are not sure which model of the P50 series this is but it is most likely not the standard version. The device has three cameras in the top housing while the second housing holds a periscope zoom lens and an LED flash.
If you watch the video in the tweet below, you should get a glimpse of the LEICA logo, confirming that Huawei is once again partnering with the German camera company for its 2021 flagship phone.
Huawei’s CEO, Yu Chengdong, revealed that the P50 series doesn’t have a launch date yet as a result of “reasons we are aware of”. Nevertheless, they are working on making the device available.
The P50 series is expected to be powered by Huawei’s own Kirin chipsets but there is a possibility we may see the phones come with Qualcomm’s own processors just as we did today with two of the new MatePad tablets.
也许听起来很奇怪，但骁龙 888 4G 可能真的来了
以及未告知发布日期的原因🤔 #HuaweiP50Series pic.twitter.com/Iqpp9nEmjA— Teme (特米)😷 (@RODENT950) June 2, 2021
According to Teme (@RODENT950), there may be a 4G version of the Snapdragon 888 processor and its delay may be the reason why Huawei is yet to choose a launch date (for the P50 series). We can assume this means that Huawei plans to use this version of the chipset for the P50 series.
Actually, this is not the first time we have heard of the Huawei P50 series coming with Snapdragon chips. Back in November, Qualcomm was granted the license to supply Huawei with chips, and it was reported that these chipsets may power the P50. Though it appears that the license limits them to 4G chips which explains why there is no 5G version of the new MatePad Pro 10.8 and the MatePad 11. Since you can’t possibly launch a phone without a modem, Huawei’s best bet is to settle for a 4G version of the Snapdragon 888.
