Once a leader in 5G technology, Huawei is now unable to incorporate the next-gen connectivity feature into its phones. The brand has been restricted to using only 4G chips. However, recent reports suggest that the company is working on a 5G smartphone. Interestingly, leaked images of the handset in the past showcase a design reminiscent of the popular Huawei P40 Pro (review).

Huawei will finally launch a 5G phone?

Huawei has been restricted from using 5G technology and Google services amid the trade ban imposed by the US government. Over the past few years, the company has relied on 4G chipsets from Qualcomm. However, behind the scenes, Huawei has been testing several 5G phones, none of which have made it to the production stage. Now, a Chinese tipster claims that the company has a new 5G device currently under testing.

Although not many details have been shared, reports indicate that the smartphone will bear a resemblance to the flagship Huawei P40 Pro in terms of design. Last week, an alleged prototype of this handset was spotted featuring a curved screen and a wave-shaped aluminum frame. Unlike the 2020 flagship model, which incorporates a pill-shaped cutout on the display, this device boasts a punch hole located in the top center.

Currently, it is unclear if the test model will actually make it to the market. However, there is hope that Huawei will soon find a solution to incorporate 5G connectivity into its phones. In the meantime, users may consider phone cases with built-in modules that enable 5G connectivity. A China-based manufacturer recently released such cases for the newly launched Huawei P60 series. While not a permanent solution, it provides a good option for those who wish to experience high-speed connectivity.

Huawei‘s huge investment in R&D has started yielding positive results in terms of the quality of smartphones the company has been churning out in recent times. At the Asian MWC Shanghai 2018, the company rolled out its 5G plans and it includes a 5G smartphone for 2019. That may likely be the first mobile phone to pack 5G technology. As interesting as it sounds, that isn’t the only awesome device which the Chinese market leader has got in the works.

The company has now revealed that it is also working on releasing a gaming smartphone which should arrive at the end of this year. Recall that Huawei announced a new GPU Turbo technology that is capable of boosting performance significantly on a variety of smartphones when gaming. That apparently isn’t enough as the company may likely come out with something that takes advantage of the GPU Turbo technology but also has enough firepower to deliver an extreme gaming experience. We’ll be on the lookout for this one which will take on the ASUS ROG, Razer phone, Nubia Red Magic and Xiaomi’s Black Shark gaming phones. The list of gaming phones is really growing. Isn’t that awesome?

In addition, Huawei also announced that it has plans to launch its own foldable phone. This is a direct response to Samsung’s own planned foldable device which is expected to debut next year. This is no doubt efforts in the right direction to help the company move past Apple once again into the second spot in term of global shipment. The company is also readying the Mate 20 series which would debut later this year.
