Huawei has already launched its P50 series of flagship smartphones but the Chinese giant is yet to announce the Mate 50-series phones. The Huawei Mate-series flagship devices usually launch around September or October. However, that may not be the case this time, if the latest report is to be believed.
The company had launched the Huawei P50 series smartphones in July this year, much late than its usual timeline of March. So, it would be too early for Huawei to launch the next-generation Mate series phones.
Now, a new report coming from China claims that the upcoming Huawei Mate 50 series of flagship smartphones are now expected to go official in the first quarter of next year, and the announcement is likely to happen in March.
The smartphones in the lineup are expected to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. However, unlike this processor powering other smartphones, it’ll be different in the Mate 50 series as instead of having 5G support, the chipset will only support 4G connectivity.
It is also being speculated that the phones will come equipped with an LTPO display — the same technology that we are seeing in the newly launched Apple iPhone 13 Pro series. This could mean that the phone will have support for adaptive refresh rate, with support for a high refresh rate of 120Hz.
Recently, it was reported that the upcoming Huawei Mate 50 smartphone will come with support for satellite connectivity when the cellular network isn’t available. The satellite connectivity will be used to communicate via short message service (SMS) in a situation where a cellular network isn’t an option.
For this, the company has reportedly opted for the Beidou Satellite System. It is being reported that because of this new feature addition, the launch of the upcoming flagship smartphone from Huawei has been delayed.
It is also indicative of the fact that Huawei is still trying to innovate in the smartphone space and hasn’t given up on the mobile phone business despite being severely restricted by the United States sanctions. But it’s noteworthy that the satellite communication feature hasn’t been confirmed by Huawei and it currently looks like speculation.
