Huawei Mate 50 series could be powered solely by Snapdragon chips, likely the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a tipster has revealed.
The information comes from prominent leakster “Chrysanthemum Pictures Fans” who also said that the Snapdragon chip will once again lack 5G capabilities.
Compared to the P50 series, the cameras of the device have been improved. The software was also said to have a good experience and will be based on HarmonyOS 3.0.
Apart from this, barely anything is known about the Huawei Mate 50 flagship but we should be getting our hands on some more information ahead of the launch. The launch has been scheduled for mid-to-late July according to the tipster.
An artist had last month dropped some renders based on what they imagined the Mate 50 to look like, which you can check out from here.
Huawei has long been unable to ship its phones with 5G capabilities due to sanctions from the US. The company is also unable to produce new Kirin chipsets but had managed to maintain an extremely large stock of them. This seems to have finally run out, because of which Huawei is now having to rely on Qualcomm for processor solutions on its newer offerings.
The Huawei Mate 50 series will obviously be launched in China first and a global launch isn’t confirmed yet. Still, judging from past release patterns, the series should make its way through globally a few months later.
