Earlier this year, Huawei had launched its highly anticipated P50 flagship series of smartphone. While the device offered top notch specs and features it lacked 5G support, but now, live images of an internal testing variant of the P50 Pro has just surfaced online, which supports 5G networking.
The image was shared by @一个小串串 and we can tell that the device is a testing version as it sports the Chinese tech giant’s IDEALS logo. This signifies that it is a non retail version that is not made for sale and is used by the company’s internal testing. Furthermore, the @一个小串串 added that the device arrives with HarmonyOS, a HiSilicon Kirin 9000 series SoC with a complete RF chip.
Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device wasn’t revealed, although, the tipster added that the flagship smartphone might also feature an IMX700Y sensor from Sony. For those unaware, the P50 Pro launched in a 4G only variant, which meant it lacked 5G support that has since become a staple in the smartphone industry. But due to the ban, the smartphone was limited to LTE networking through a 4G modem.
Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report as of right now, so take it with a pinch of salt. Although, a 5G variant of the smartphone was expected to launch sometime in the future. Furthermore, the P50 series is looking for a global release early next year so we might be hearing more about this 5G variant soon. So stay tuned for more updates.
