Humankind has always been fascinated with space, and it seems that as soon as we figured out how to leave orbit, we started sending things up there. It began with animals, and soon we even sent Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber up there (Via NASA), although some might argue it belongs there. More recently, Chinese astronauts have taken the flagship Huawei P50 Pro to space and have seized the opportunity to share some selfies as well. Let’s take a look.

Huawei P50 Pro says Hi from the Space

The Huawei P50 Pro smartphone recently made its way to space, specifically to the International Space Station (via Huawei Central). A Chinese astronaut, presumably responsible for taking the phone there, shared some pictures from the Space Station, showcasing the P50 Pro in his hand. The dual camera ring design of the phone is clearly visible in the images.

These images might suggest that the smartphone is capable of functioning even in space, but that is unlikely. Modern smartphones are designed to be used in Earth’s atmosphere, and while certain functions like the camera and touch may work, there is no chance for signal reception and calling. Also, the phone is pictured within a controlled atmosphere of the space station. Take it to outer space and it will likely destroy itself with its own heat due to lack of cooling.

To remind you, the Huawei P50 Pro was launched in July 2021 with 4G connectivity. It gets a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate screen and 300Hz touch sampling rate. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G processor and runs pre-installed EMUI 12 out of the box. Fueled by a 4360mAh battery, the handset supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
