Huawei is set to make its re-entry into the flagship segment with the Mate 50 series that’s expected to launch in the first quarter of this year. While not much is known about the devices, we now have concept renders at hand thanks to well-known concept creators hereYashRaj and Nova Concept (via Equal Leaks).

The artists have imagined the Huawei Mate 50 featuring a compact form factor, with a size in the same range as the Xiaomi 12 and iPhone 12. As such, the screen has been sized between 6.28 and 6.38 inches in the renders. It also ditches the pill-shaped cutout found on the Mate 40 Pro and instead sticks to a more modern hole-punch for the selfie camera.

A large part of the rear is occupied by the ginormous circular camera module which the concept creators imagine with a primary camera, a wide-angle camera, and a periscope lens with 5X optical zoom. There’s no Leica branding anywhere which is reasonable considering Huawei’s partnership with the camera company ended with the P50 series. The flash has been placed at the center of the module.

The back panel has been imagined to be of a glossy texture, with a striped design for added character.

Of course, the concepts are unofficial, designed only for artistic purposes, and the retail version of the Mate 50 will likely look a lot different. Still, they give us an idea of what one can expect.

Moving on to actual specifications, the Huawei Mate 50 series is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Kirin 9000 processors and may come with LTPO displays. There’s also a possibility of the Huawei Mate 50 smartphone having support for satellite connectivity when a cellular network isn’t available.
