The HUAWEI P50 series was announced at the end of July. The lineup consists of two models, namely HUAWEI P50 and HUAWEI P50 Pro. The latter model is powered by two different chipsets – Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888, while the former only comes with the Qualcomm chip. The Pro model with the Snapdragon chip is now finally tipped to go on sale soon.
At the launch conference, Huawei revealed that the Snapdragon 888 version of the HUAWEI P50 Pro will be available in December. Now, ahead of the said month, a reliable Huawei-focused tipster has shed availability details on this variant of the handset.
According to the leaker, the HUAWEI P50 Pro with Snapdragon 888 will go on sale in late December. Additionally, he says that there will not be a 5G version of both HUAWEI P50 and HUAWEI P50 Pro. Also, Huawei will not be releasing HUAWEI P50 Pro+.
For those unaware, the P50 series is limited to 4G connectivity due to the sanctions by the US government. Although there are rumors of the HUAWEI Mate50 series with 5G connectivity in 2022, its release is uncertain at the moment.
Hence, if you are interested in a new Huawei flagship smartphone, then the 4G-only HUAWEI P50 Pro with Snapdragon 888 chipset, which is expected to hit the shelves next month, is the only viable option.
The Qualcomm variant of the P50 Pro is expected to retail at the following price tags if Huawei does not make any changes before the sale.
HUAWEI P50 Pro (Snapdragon 888) Price
- 8GB + 128GB – ¥5,988 ($937)
- 8GB + 256GB – ¥6,488 ($1,016)
- 8GB + 512GB – ¥7,488 ($1,172)
