Huawei is gearing up to launch its next-generation Mate 50-series flagship smartphones in its home country China. While the company has not yet confirmed the launch date, it will likely announce the phones next month.
Ahead of the official launch, several details regarding the Huawei Mate 50 series have already leaked online. In the latest development, it is said that the standard model will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.
As per the report, the Huawei Mate 50 will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC with connectivity limited to 4G LTE. The other models in the lineup are said to be powered by the company’s own Kirin 9000S chipset.
The Huawei Kirin 9000S processor has not yet been announced by the company, but it is likely to be a tweaked version of the Kirin 9000 SoC that has now become the last flagship chipset from the company because of the US-imposed sanctions.
Recently, there were rumors that the company is running out of stock of Kirin 9000 SoC and thus, the chipset won’t be used on all the smartphones in the lineup, and some models may end up using the Qualcomm chips.
As for the Huawei Mate 50, the phone is rumored to feature an OLED display sourced from BOE, offering a Full HD+ screen resolution and a 120hz refresh rate. It is expected to pack 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.
In the camera department, the device could feature a triple-camera setup on the back consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor. It will be running the company’s own HarmonyOS 3 operating system out-of-the-box.
