Despite the Huawei P50 Pro launching in 2021, the flagship device from the company did not feature 5G networking. However, a new protective cover for the smartphone has just been launched, which enables it to connect to the latest networking standard.
The new protective cover is the “5G Connectivity Case” that was made by Soyealink. This case features an embedded an eSIM chipset and a 5G modem in the smartphone cover itself. In other words, this converts the 4G smartphone into a 5G enabled model. Furthermore, the design of the case in terms of its weight and thickness is similar to most other protective cases in the market, so it does not add any unwanted bulk to the Huawei P50 Pro.
It weighs just 52 grams and a thickness of around 3.2mm. The case arrives in a light gray color option and is made from leather, which gives it a premium feel. Back when the P50 Pro was first announced, we had reported on rumors that the Chinese tech giant or possibly third party accessories maker are working for a case that enables the smartphone to connect to 5G networking. Now, such a product is finally available in the Chinese market.
Once the 5G Connectivity Case is put on, the main SIM card of the smartphone and the eSIM network signal for the cover are merged into a single card and displayed as the sole smartphone signal bar. As of right now, it is not known when the case will be available for purchase, but it is priced at 799 Yuan or roughly around 118 US Dollars.
