Chinese technology giant Huawei officially launched the Huawei P50 series flagship smartphones in its home market in July this year. Now, a couple of months after getting announced, the Huawei P50 Pro is now finally on sale in China.
The 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage model of the Huawei P50 Pro is now available for purchase in China through the online marketplace JD.com. The device is priced at 6,488 yuan which roughly converts to $1,003. It comes in five different colors — Black, Gold, White, Pink, and Blue.
As for the specifications, the Huawei P50 Pro features a 6.6-inch curved OLED display with a screen resolution of 2700 x 1228 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, and can show up to 1.07 billion colors.
Underneath, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset. However, the processor in this smartphone doesn’t support 5G connectivity and is limited to 4G. There’s also another variant of the phone which is powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin 9000 SoC.
The Huawei P-series is known for its camera performance and this P50 Pro is no different. It comes with two primary cameras – a 50-megapixel f/1.8 RGB sensor with OIS and a 40-megapixel f/1.6 Black and White sensor. There’s also a 13-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera and a 64-megapixel f/3.5 telephoto camera with OIS. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel f/2.4 front-facing camera with support for autofocus and AIS anti-shake.
The phone’s camera support 3.5x optical zoom, 20x hybrid zoom, and 100x digital zoom. It also comes with an HDR Vivid mode and an XD Fusion Pro graphics engine that optimizes image quality and color reproduction.
It is running Huawei’s own HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system and is powered by a 4,360mAh battery that supports 66W fast wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging along with support for reverse wireless charging. Unfortunately, the company isn’t bundling the power adaptor with the smartphone this year.
