Astronauts took the Huawei P50 Pro to space, shared out-of-this-world selfies

Anurag — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:16:49 +0000

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.

New Huawei P50 series batch doesn’t feature Leica branding on the rear

Sean — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 10:56:04 +0000

Last year, the Huawei P50 series had launched as the company’s then flagship smartphone models. This series included the P50 and P50 Pro, which was later joined by the new P50E model earlier this year. The company has yet to launch a successor to this premium lineup and has continued to sell this series. But it seems, the latest batch of the phones has a slight difference than the original launch variants.

P50 Pro with Leica branding

The latest batch of Huawei P50 series have just recently been spotted on the Chinese tech giant’s Vmall online website. Here, we can see that there is one small change in the rear design of the P50 series, which is the lack of the Leica camera lens branding on the back. For those unaware, the Leica logo was typically found underneath the camera module of the P50 series, but this has since been removed in the new batch of the premium grade handsets.

The P50 lineup was officially the last smartphones from the brand to partner with Leica and this change officially marks the end of their cooperation with one another. So now, the base P50, the top end P50 Pro, and mid range P50E will no longer ship with the Leica logo. But despite this change, the price tag of the smartphone series is still the same as it was before.

P50 Pro without Leica branding

Although, back in July 2022, the company announced its new imaging solution called Huawei Imaging XMAGE, which would also carry the exclusive logo of Huawei Mobile Imaging. With this, the brand aims to step into imaging technology and showcase its maturity and expertise in the field after years of research and development guided breakthroughs.

Huawei is No Longer in Partnership with Leica

Leo Wong De Quan — Mon, 23 May 2022 19:57:03 +0000

Huawei is mostly known in the Android flagship smartphone space for its cameras, especially for its Leica-branded camera setups.

But yesterday, Xiaomi officially confirmed that the company will be in close collaboration with Leica, the Germany-based camera company, to bring Leica’s imagery technology to its upcoming flagship smartphone cameras. So will the new Xiaomi-Leica partnership affect the previous Huawei-Leica partnership?

As reported by Android Authority, their team had officially reached out to Huawei via email, to which Huawei formally replied: “We can confirm that the cooperation between our two companies (Huawei and Leica) ended on 31 March.”

What this means is that, as of May 2022, Huawei is no longer in partnership with Leica, spelling an end for Leica-branded Huawei smartphones.

For context, the last Leica-branded Huawei smartphones were the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro which were released last year with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G chipset.

Huawei P30 Series Promo

The announcement of the partnership ending truly marks an end of a smartphone era where Huawei was truly considered the best smartphone camera out there that money could buy. Leica-branded flagships like the Huawei P20 Pro, and the Huawei P30 Pro brought the smartphone market with exceptional smartphone camera innovations like the world’s first-ever triple camera setup and 5x optical zoom in a smartphone.

However, this marks a new chapter for smartphone photography as well. Considering the official announcement of Xiaomi partnering with Leica for its camera optimisations, it seems that even after the official breakup with Huawei, the Leica brand is still interested to remain in the smartphone market with a new partner.

Xiaomi has officially announced that the Xiaomi-Leica partnership will officially bear fruit in the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone slated for launch in July 2022.

This case lets your Huawei P50 Pro connect to 5G network

Sean — Tue, 17 May 2022 09:59:35 +0000

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.

Huawei P50 Pocket vs Huawei P50 Pro: Specs Comparison

Michele Ingelido — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 23:24:35 +0000

Huawei is finally back in the global market with two flagships, no matter that it is not able to use 5G components or put Google Mobile Services into its devices. The Chinese giant came up with two handsets from the same series: the Huawei P50 Pocket and the Huawei P50 Pro. The first is a foldable phone with a clamshell form factor just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, while the latter is a traditional top-tier flagship. Unfortunately, both of these devices lack the 5G connectivity and Google Mobile Sevices, but for the rest, they have nothing to envy if compared to other flagships. In this comparison, you will find the differences between their specifications.

Huawei P50 Pocket vs Huawei P50 Pro

	Huawei P50 Pocket	Huawei P50 Pro
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	170 x 75.5 x 7.2 mm, 190 g	158.8 x 72.8 x 8.5 mm, 195 g
DISPLAY	6.9 inches, 1188 x 2790 pixels (Full HD+), OLED	6.6 inches, 1228 x 2700 pixels (Full HD+), OLED

MEMORY	8 GB RAM, 256 GB – 12 GB RAM, 512 GB	8 GB RAM, 128 GB – 8 GB RAM, 256 GB – 8 GB RAM, 512 GB – 12 GB RAM, 512 GB
SOFTWARE	HarmonyOS 2.0 or EMUI	HarmonyOS 2.0 / EMUI
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS
CAMERA	Triple 40 + 13 + 32 MP, f/1.8 + f/2.2 + f/1.8 10.7 MP f/2.2 front camera	Quad 50 + 64 + 13 + 40 MP, f/1.8 + f/3.5 + f/2.2 + f/1.6 13 MP f/2.4 front camera
BATTERY	4000 mAh, fast charging 40W	4360 mAh, Fast Charging 66W, fast wireless charging 50W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM, reverse charging	Optional dual SIM, IP68 waterproof

Design

The Huawei P50 Pocket is one of the few foldable phones in the market and it wins the design comparison just for this reason. But besides being a foldable phone, this is also a very beautiful device. Its circular external display looks gorgeous just like its materials. Being a clamshell phone, it is able to fold in half and become extremely compact. Last but not least, it is very thin while unfolded: its thickness is just 7.2 mm. The Huawei P50 Pro is a beautiful phone as well, but it is a traditional smartphone with a glass back and an aluminum frame. However, unlike its internal rival, it is waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification.

Display

The technical specifications of the displays found on the Huawei P50 Pocket and the P50 Pro are more or less the same. They are OLED panels with one billion colors, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. They are not the best displays in the market, but they definitely belong to the high-end segment. The Huawei P50 Pocket is more interesting because it has a foldable display with a 21:9 aspect ratio. As already mentioned, it is able to reduce its dimensions by folding and, while the phone is folded, you can use a small external display to check notifications and shoot selfies with the rear cameras.

Specs & Software

The Huawei P50 Pocket is powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform: one of the two best Qualcomm chipsets of 2021, providing flagship specifications. Despite being a flagship chipset, it lacks the 5G support due to the U.S. ban restrictions, but it is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. You can get exactly the same hardware department with the Huawei P50 Pro, but in some markets, this phone is powered by the proprietary Kirin 9000 chipsets. Even the software is the same on both the phones: HarmonyOS 2 in China and EMUI 12 without Google Mobile Services in the global market.

Camera

The Huawei P50 Pro is the best camera phone without any doubt: it is not only better than the Huawei P50 Pocket, but it is also better than almost every phone on the shelves right now. It has a 50 MP main camera with OIS and laser autofocus, a 64 MP periscope sensor with 3.5x optical zoom, a 13 MP ultrawide camera, and a 40 MP monochromatic sensor co-developed with Leica. There is no way for the P50 Pocket to compete with its 40 MP main camera, 13 MP ultrawide sensor, and 32 MP lens, but it allows shooting selfies with the rear cameras thanks to an external display.

Read More: Huawei P50 Pro and P50 Pocket global availability officially announced

Battery

The Huawei P50 Pro is able to provide longer battery life thanks to a bigger 4300 mAh battery. It even features wireless charging, unlike the P50 Pocket. Last but not least, the fast charging technology is more powerful as it is rated at 66W.

Price

The Huawei P50 Pro has a listing price of €1200/$1372 in the global market, while you need €1300/$1487 to grab a unit of the P50 Pocket. If we only look at the technical specifications, the Huawei P50 Pro is a better phone due to its superior cameras, bigger battery, waterproof body, and wireless charging. But the P50 Pocket is a foldable phone and for those who love innovative and compact devices, it may be a better choice.

OnePlus 10 Pro vs Huawei P50 Pro: Specs Comparison

Michele Ingelido — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 21:01:25 +0000

A lot of people probably did not expect it, but Huawei came back to the European market with two new flagships: the Huawei P50 Pro and the foldable P50 Pocket. The prohibition to use Google Mobile Services and 5G components did not prevent Huawei from launching another generation of flagships in the Old Continent; the Huawei P50 Pro is the most advanced one in terms of specifications and it has nothing to envy to the most expensive flagships out there, if we exclude the 5G connectivity. That is the reason why we decided to compare it to the most powerful Chinese flagship released in 2022 until now: the OnePlus 10 Pro. Here you will find the main differences between these handsets as well as their pros and cons.

OnePlus 10 Pro vs Huawei P50 Pro

	OnePlus 10 Pro	Huawei P50 Pro
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	163 x 73.9 x 8.6 mm, 200.5 g	158.8 x 72.8 x 8.5 mm, 195 g
DISPLAY	6.7 inches, 1440 x 3216 pixels (Quad HD+), AMOLED	6.6 inches, 1228 x 2700 pixels (Full HD+), OLED
PROCESSOR	Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, octa-core 3 GHz	Huawei Hisilicon Kirin 9000, octa-core 3.13 GHz or Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, octa-core 2.84 GHz

SOFTWARE	Android 12, ColorOS	HarmonyOS 2.0 / EMUI
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS
CAMERA	Triple 48 + 8 + 50 MP, f/1.8 + f/2.4 + f/2.2 32 MP f/2.2 front camera	Quad 50 + 64 + 13 + 40 MP, f/1.8 + f/3.5 + f/2.2 + f/1.6 13 MP f/2.4 front camera
BATTERY	5000 mAh, fast charging 80W, fast wireless charging 50W	4360 mAh, Fast Charging 66W, fast wireless charging 50W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	5G, dual SIM, reverse wireless charging	Optional dual SIM, IP68 waterproof

Design

With its circular camera modules, the Huawei P50 Pro has a very original design if compared to the concurrency. Further, it is very attractive because its curved screen at the sides comes with a higher screen to body ratio than OnePlus 10 Pro. It is even a more compact device thanks to its slightly smaller display and its incredibly narrow bezels. Both the phones are made with a glass back and an aluminum frame, but the Huawei P50 Pro adds the IP68 certification which makes it waterproof and dustproof, while there is no certification against water and dust for the OnePlus flagship.

Display

If you are looking for the most advanced display, then you should go for the OnePlus 10 Pro without thinking twice. It has an AMOLED panel with the new LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and very low energy consumption. It is able to show up to one billion colors and it sports a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3216 pixels, as well as the HDR10+ certification. The Huawei P50 Pro has an OLED display with one billion colors as well, but it lacks an adaptive refresh rate and it comes with the Full HD+ resolution of 1228 x 2700 pixels. That is the reason why OnePlus provides a better display. Both the phones pack stereo speakers and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Specs & Software

The OnePlus 10 Pro is the winner even when it comes to the hardware department. Even if we exclude the absence of the 5G connectivity on the Huawei flagship, the OP10 Pro remains a superior phone because it has a better chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Depending on the market, the Huawei P50 Pro offers either the Kirin 9000 mobile platform or the Snapdragon 888, both 2021 flagship chipset inferior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The only advantage of the Huawei P50 Pro is the storage as it provides up to 512 GB and an expansion slot for nano memory cards. On the global market, the Huawei P50 Pro lacks the Google Mobile Services including the Play Store, replaced by the Huawei Mobile Services.

Camera

Are you looking for the best camera? Then the Huawei P50 Pro is the best device for you and even DxOMark agrees on this after defining it the best Android flagship for mobile photography. It sports a 50 MP main sensor with laser autofocus and OIS, a 64 MP periscope sensor with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS, a 13 MP ultrawide camera and a 40 MP monochromatic sensor. However, the OnePlus 10 Pro still comes with great cameras and it includes a better 50 MP ultrawide sensor.

Read More: Huawei P50 Pro and P50 Pocket global availability officially announced

Battery

The battery of the OnePlus 10 Pro is bigger and its display is more efficient, this means that it will offer a longer battery life in most of the scenarios. It features faster charging with a power of 80W, but given that the Huawei P50 Pro has a smaller battery, it will be likely faster to reach the 100%.

Price

Huawei P50 Pro is priced at €1199/$1065 globally, while the OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €650/$732 and it is still not available in the global market. Unless you need the best camera out there, the OnePlus 10 Pro can be considered a superior device.

Huawei P50 Pro and P50 Pocket global availability officially announced

Zohaib Ahmed — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 12:07:58 +0000

Huawei today officially announced the start of the global availability of its P50 Pro and P50 Pocket flagship phones. Consumers in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South America will be able to buy them quite soon as part of the first phase of release.

Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 888 4G chip. Unlike its 5G variant, the chip comes equipped with only a 4G LTE modem, and so far, Qualcomm seems to have produced it only for Huawei.

The Huawei P50 Pro arrived in China back in July 2021 and has finally made its way to the global market. It features a 6.6-inch OLED screen with 2700 x 1228 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. For photography, there is a quad-camera setup at the rear that has been co-developed with Leica. It consists of 50MP main, 40MP monochrome, 13MP ultra-wide, and 64MP periscope telephoto cameras. The 4,360 mAh battery supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The P50 Pro will only come in a single memory variant — 8GB RAM + 256GB storage — that’s been priced at EUR 1,199. Color options are Golden Black and Cocoa Gold.

The Huawei P50 Pocket is a fresh offering, launched only last month in China. It will now be making its way to the global market with its innovative form-factor and compelling specs. The device features a 1-inch Cover Screen on the exterior that lets you interact with notifications, controls, and cameras. And on the inside, you get a 6.9-inch 120Hz OLED panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio. The battery is sized 4,000mAh with support for 40W charging.

The P50 Pocket will be selling in two variants. There’s a regular model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and costs EUR 1,299. Then, there’s also a Premium Edition with an upgraded design and 12GB+512GB config that costs EUR 1,599.

Pre-orders of both devices went live on Tuesday in Bulgaria where they come with free Huawei FreeBuds 4. Similar offers can be expected in other regions as well.

Huawei P50 Pro confirmed to officially launch in Germany on January 26

Jeet — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 03:07:15 +0000

Huawei P50 Pro, the current flagship smartphone from the Chinese technology giant, was first launched in July last year. The device is now all set to make its global debut tomorrow, i.e. on 12th January.

In the latest development, the company has confirmed that the Huawei P50 Pro will get launched in Germany on 26th January. As of now, it’s not known if the device will be available for pre-order from that day or the company will start shipping it.

Given that Huawei is still under sanctions imposed by the United States and barred from using Google’s services, the smartphone will ship without the Google Mobile Services. It is likely to run the company’s own EMUI 12 based on open-source Android. In the Chinese market, the phone is running the company’s own HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system.

Internally, the device is expected to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset with 4G-only connectivity support. This is unlike the Chinese model which is powered by the Kirin 9000 5G SoC.

The Huawei P50 Pro comes with a 6.6-inch OLED display that offers a screen resolution of 1228 x 2700 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. As for the memory, the device packs 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

Huawei P50 Pro global launch date announced and it’s just around the corner

Zohaib Ahmed — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 07:39:57 +0000

Huawei has now revealed the global launch date of its latest flagship phone through a post on one of its socials, which says that the Huawei P50 Pro will be going live on January 12th (via PhoneArena).

Let what's unseen be revealed. Uncover sharp focus and vibrant details even in low-light conditions when you capture with the #HUAWEIP50Pro

Coming soon on 12 January 2022. Stay tuned.

To recall, the device was first announced back in July 2021 for China and went on sale a month later domestically. It was followed by the release of its vanilla variant — the Huawei P50 — more recently in October 2021.

Do note here though that there are a couple of things where the global variant of the Huawei P50 Pro differs from its Chinese counterpart. For starters, the global model will be running EMUI 12 and not HarmonyOS 2 — although the overall user experience should be the same across both.

But the main difference lies in the processor department, where the global P50 Pro will be coming with the Snapdragon 888 chip instead of the Kirin 9000 5G on the domestic version.

Now, Qualcomm stans will certainly take this bit as good news considering Snapdragon chips continue to dominate the Android world in terms of performance. But the inclusion of the Snapdragon 888 chip on the P50 Pro comes with a major catch — lack of 5G support.

Obviously, the main reason behind the mess is the ‘Huawei ban’ by the US that has put multiple barriers on the company from using 5G chips. This, combined with the fact that Huawei only has a limited stock of the Kirin 9000 5G chip, means that the global P50 has to make do with the Snapdragon 888 4G.

Anyway, moving on to the specs, the Huawei P50 Pro comes with a 6.6-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1228 x 2700 and support for 120Hz. The camera setup at the rear is comprised of a 50MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.8 and OIS, complemented by 13MP ultrawide and 64MP telephoto sensors. On the front, you get a 13MP camera, housed within a center-aligned punch-hole.

Keeping the lights on is a 4,360mAh battery that can charge at 66W wired and 50W wirelessly. The phone measures 158.8 x 72.8 x 8.5 mm, weighs, 195g, comes with an IP68 rating. Its price for its 8GB RAM + 256GB storage stands at 6,488 yuan which roughly converts to $1,003.

Huawei P50 series gets new tiger-inspired protective case with a metal ring around the camera

Zohaib Ahmed — Fri, 07 Jan 2022 09:40:30 +0000

Huawei today announced the launch of a new tiger-inspired protective case for the Huawei P50 series to celebrate the Chinese 2022 Year of the Tiger. The cover can be fitted to the back of the devices and is colored a bright red, which is complemented by a gold tiger stripe pattern.

While one of the cases is covered completely in stripes, the other option actually has a tiger face printed at the back. Both look equally eye-catching and will be selling for 199 Yuan or around $31. They will be available for purchase starting January 8th.

But perhaps the best part of the limited edition Year of the Tiger protective cases for the Huawei P50 series is that they come with a special metal ring around the camera module that can be pulled out and used as a stand to rest the phone on.

The metal ring also appears to provide an ample raise to the cameras so that they do not touch the surface when the phone is placed on its back. It also adds a touch of class as it’s colored lustrous gold.

Both cases add to the collection of pre-existing art-themed protective cases available for the Huawei P50 series in a number of colors and unique designs. All of the covers adopt a four-edge protective design that protects the screen against drops.

It’s unlikely that the Huawei P50 series Year of the Tiger protective case will be making it to the global market, but if it does, we will let you know.

Huawei P Series Flagships exceed 100 Million in Sales, Here’s the Story of How It Came To Be

Leo Wong De Quan — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 03:49:44 +0000

As of recent, Huawei Senior Product Manager, Mr. Wang Yonggang, who is in charge of the development of the Huawei flagship P series lineup of smartphones, broke out the great news that the Huawei P series flagships have exceeded 100 million sales globally(including in China) in total since it launched the Huawei Ascend P1 almost 10 years ago. Through a blog post in the Huawei Xinsheng online forum (an online community for Huawei users in China), he shared the many milestones that Huawei has achieved in the smartphone market throughout the 10 years since Huawei launched its first flagship, the Huawei Ascend P1, back in January 2012.

All Huawei P series flagships from Huawei Ascend P1(Top Left) to Huawei P50 Pocket(Bottom Right)

Huawei first started development for the Huawei Ascend P1 as early as in the summer of 2011, where Huawei wanted to put out its first competitive flagship smartphone to the market to make a name for itself in the industry. Mr. Wang Yonggang recalled that Huawei called in their research team from Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an to fly over to Shenzhen to help develop the Huawei Ascend P1 together with their Shenzhen team.

After many months of market research and prototypes, they finally launched the Huawei Ascend P1 in January 2012 with a 4.3 AMOLED display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8MP BSI rear camera in a lightweight and 7.6mm unibody, at a flagship price of RMB 2,999(471 USD) at the time.

Although the Huawei Ascend P1 was not a bestseller by any metrics, it was Huawei’s first step to transition away from a B2B (Business to Business) company to a B2C(Business to Consumer) company with its first-ever flagship smartphone for the Chinese public.

Huawei Ascend P1

Huawei’s next flagship, the Huawei Ascend P2, however, was not released in China and was instead released outside of China in markets such as the European and Japanese markets in 2013. This was due in part that the Huawei Ascend P2 was equipped with 4G which China did not have a proper rollout till 2014, and therefore Huawei decided to release it in the global market instead. The Huawei Ascend P2 was also the first Huawei flagship to be equipped with Huawei’s in-house Kirin SOC.

The next milestone for Huawei was the Huawei Ascend P6 with its show-stopping ID design, as the P6 was the world’s thinnest smartphone at its release, with a thickness of only 6.18mm. Looking back, it was the Huawei flagship that defined the premium design language of Huawei P series flagships for many years to come.

Huawei Ascend P6

The next big leap was the Huawei P9 with its dual rear camera setup. The Huawei P9 was Huawei’s first phone to collaborate with famous camera imaging company Leica, and the P9’s rear camera was equipped with a normal color lens as well as a monochrome lens. The phone then captures the image with both lenses and uses computational software to provide the best-looking photo for the user.

The next generational leap in photography was with the Huawei P20 Pro with its industry-breaking triple camera setup consisting of a wide lens, a monochrome lens, and a telephoto lens for versatile photography. The Huawei P20 Pro also came with the popular colourway Twilight, which solidified Huawei’s flagship design philosophy in the premium market.

Huawei P20 Pro

The Huawei P30 series adopted a new type of RYYB colored lens for better images, while the P40 series provided marginal upgrades, such as 10x optical zoom for the series.

The Huawei P50 series was quite a confusing flagship lineup until recently. But Huawei launched the P50 Pocket this week, the company’s first-ever clamshell flagship foldable, which proved that Huawei is bringing forward innovation to its P series flagships once again.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset but the model is limited to only 4G connectivity because of the sanctions imposed on Huawei by the United States, barring it from using 5G connectivity, among others.

In the camera department, there’s a 50-megapixel f/1.8 RGB primary sensor with OIS and a 40-megapixel f/1.6 Black and White sensor. There’s also a 13-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera and a 64-megapixel f/3.5 telephoto camera with OIS.

HUAWEI P50 Pro with Snapdragon 888 SoC tipped to go on sale in late December

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 11:59:07 +0000

The HUAWEI P50 series was announced at the end of July. The lineup consists of two models, namely HUAWEI P50 and HUAWEI P50 Pro. The latter model is powered by two different chipsets – Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888, while the former only comes with the Qualcomm chip. The Pro model with the Snapdragon chip is now finally tipped to go on sale soon.

HUAWEI P50 Pro

At the launch conference, Huawei revealed that the Snapdragon 888 version of the HUAWEI P50 Pro will be available in December. Now, ahead of the said month, a reliable Huawei-focused tipster has shed availability details on this variant of the handset.

According to the leaker, the HUAWEI P50 Pro with Snapdragon 888 will go on sale in late December. Additionally, he says that there will not be a 5G version of both HUAWEI P50 and HUAWEI P50 Pro. Also, Huawei will not be releasing HUAWEI P50 Pro+.

For those unaware, the P50 series is limited to 4G connectivity due to the sanctions by the US government. Although there are rumors of the HUAWEI Mate50 series with 5G connectivity in 2022, its release is uncertain at the moment.

Hence, if you are interested in a new Huawei flagship smartphone, then the 4G-only HUAWEI P50 Pro with Snapdragon 888 chipset, which is expected to hit the shelves next month, is the only viable option.

The Qualcomm variant of the P50 Pro is expected to retail at the following price tags if Huawei does not make any changes before the sale.

HUAWEI P50 Pro (Snapdragon 888) Price

8GB + 128GB – ¥5,988 ($937)
8GB + 256GB – ¥6,488 ($1,016)
8GB + 512GB – ¥7,488 ($1,172)

Huawei P50 Pro’s internal test variant with 5G support leaked

Sean — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 08:14:35 +0000

Earlier this year, Huawei had launched its highly anticipated P50 flagship series of smartphone. While the device offered top notch specs and features it lacked 5G support, but now, live images of an internal testing variant of the P50 Pro has just surfaced online, which supports 5G networking.

The image was shared by @一个小串串 and we can tell that the device is a testing version as it sports the Chinese tech giant’s IDEALS logo. This signifies that it is a non retail version that is not made for sale and is used by the company’s internal testing. Furthermore, the @一个小串串 added that the device arrives with HarmonyOS, a HiSilicon Kirin 9000 series SoC with a complete RF chip.

Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device wasn’t revealed, although, the tipster added that the flagship smartphone might also feature an IMX700Y sensor from Sony. For those unaware, the P50 Pro launched in a 4G only variant, which meant it lacked 5G support that has since become a staple in the smartphone industry. But due to the ban, the smartphone was limited to LTE networking through a 4G modem.

Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report as of right now, so take it with a pinch of salt. Although, a 5G variant of the smartphone was expected to launch sometime in the future. Furthermore, the P50 series is looking for a global release early next year so we might be hearing more about this 5G variant soon. So stay tuned for more updates.

Huawei P50 series smartphones to make global debut early next year

Jeet — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 06:20:37 +0000

A couple of months ago, Huawei launched its flagship smartphones — Huawei P50 and P50 in the Chinese market. Since then, rumors about the phone’s global launch keep making rounds and now we know when these devices are launching globally.

Folks at TechRadar claims that Huawei has confirmed with them that the Huawei P50 series flagship smartphones will make a global debut next year, i.e. in 2022. This was apparently revealed by the Chinese tech giant during the launch of the Huawei Note 9 smartphone.

The company has not yet revealed the launch nor, dor has it shared a timeframe for the launch of its flagship smartphones but has just said that the launch of the P50 series for overseas customers will take place early next year.

This indicates that the Chinese tech giant is planning to bring both the devices to the global markets — P50 and P50 Pro. Given the current market conditions, we expect the phones to be available in the European market but not in the US or Canada.

Also, as Huawei is barred from using Google’s services on its devices by the United States, the upcoming devices from the brand will come powered by its own HarmonyOS. While it has been received well in China, it will be interesting to how it works for a global audience.

The Huawei P50 Pro features a 6.6-inch curved OLED display with a screen resolution of 2700 x 1228 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, and can show up to 1.07 billion colors.

Underneath, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset. However, the processor in this smartphone doesn’t support 5G connectivity and is limited to 4G. There’s also another variant of the phone which is powered by the company’s own HiSilicon Kirin 9000 SoC.

It comes with two primary cameras – a 50-megapixel f/1.8 RGB sensor with OIS and a 40-megapixel f/1.6 Black and White sensor. There’s also a 13-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera and a 64-megapixel f/3.5 telephoto camera with OIS. On the front side, there’s a 13-megapixel f/2.4 front-facing camera with support for autofocus and AIS anti-shake.

The device is running the company’s own HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system and is powered by a 4,360mAh battery that supports 66W fast wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging along with support for reverse wireless charging.

If the P50 series indeed makes a global debut on October 21, it will be a tough competition to the global smartphone leaders like Samsung and Apple.

Huawei P50 Pro overthrows Galaxy S21 Ultra to become the new Display leader on DxoMark

Pranav Sawant — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 04:05:15 +0000

Huawei P50 Pro Lunar Vision Edition spotted in leaks ahead of any announcements

Pranav Sawant — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 16:53:37 +0000

Huawei unveiled the P50 series on July 29 in China comprising the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro. During the launch, the latter was announced in five color variants – Black, White, Pink, Blue, and Gold. Now, a Chinese tipster has revealed that Huawei may soon launch a special edition P50 Pro in the Lunar Vision shade.

According to a leak from Weibo, the Huawei P50 Pro Lunar Vision will come in a white hue. But, unlike the White variant of the P50 Pro, the Lunar Vision edition will have a textured back.

Considering the phone has a glass built, it is evident that the finish is not just a design, rather it seems to be carved. Interestingly, the phone’s back glass has a moon-surface-like design and it is printed on the back of the glass. Moreover, the moon-surface-like design has a three-dimensional effect.

Apart from this, the upcoming Huawei P50 Pro Lunar Vision model is expected to be available soon. Since it is the Pro special edition model and the design is the same as the original, we can expect the Lunar model to come with the same specs as the original model.

Huawei P50 Pro Specifications

The original Huawei P50 Pro comes with a 6.6-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2700 x 1229 pixels. The smartphone has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. It sports a P3 wide color gamut and has a 450 PPI pixel density.

Jeet — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 05:37:19 +0000

A few days ago, Chinese giant Huawei officially launched the P50 series flagship smartphones as the company’s first phones to come pre-installed with the HarmonyOS operating system instead of Android, but it does support Android apps.

Now, days after officially announcing the new smartphones, Huawei has now officially launched custom themes for the P50 series phones which the company claims are inspired by gems and fragrances.

The brand has launched four themes — Amber Crystal, Moonlight Silver, Moonlight Blue, and Rose Powder. All these new themes can be downloaded on the Huawei P50 series smartphones using the Huawei Theme App.

While the themes are available for free for the Huawei P50 models, the company has also launched them for other models as a paid download. The themes are compatible with the Huawei Mate40 series, Mate30 series, P40 series, Nova8 series. It’s noteworthy that the phones must be running the HarmonyOS 2.0 for using these themes.

The Huawei P50 features a 6.5-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate while the Pro model comes with a 6.6-inch FHD+ OLED screen offering a 120Hz refresh rate. Both the phones are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC with a 4G modem. There’s also a Kirin 9000-powered model, which is also limited to 4G connectivity.

The standard model has a 50MP f/1.8 RGB primary camera, a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, and a 12MP f/3.4 telephoto camera with OIS. On the front side, there’s a 13MP f/2.4 camera that sits inside the punch hole in the display.

On the other hand, the Pro model has a 50MP f/1.8 RGB sensor with OIS and a 40MP f/1.6 Black and White sensor, coupled with a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera and a 64MP f/3.5 telephoto camera with OIS. There’s also a 13MP f/2.4 front-facing camera with support for autofocus and AIS anti-shake.

The Huawei P50 is powered by a 4,100mAh battery while the Huawei P50 Pro is powered by a 4,360mAh battery. Both of them come with support for 66W fast charging technology but only the Pro model has support for wireless charging.

Huawei P50 vs Huawei P50 Pro: Specs Comparison

Michele Ingelido — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 21:11:05 +0000

Despite all the difficulties caused by the U.S. ban, Huawei was able to launch its 2021 flagship phones. The P50 series is composed of two variants: Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro, but none of them comes with 5G support because of the ban. If you exclude that absence, they are among the best phones in the Android world and even among the best camera phones. But what are the differences between the two variants? If you want to know them, go ahead with this comparison between their specifications and discover which one is the best for your actual needs.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot, waterproof IP68	Dual SIM slot, waterproof IP68

Design

The Huawei P50 is thinner, lighter, and slightly more compact than its Pro variant. But the Huawei P50 Pro has a more suggestive design because of its display with curved edge providing more elegance to the handset. Huawei P50 and P50 Pro are waterproof phones with the IP68 certification and they can withstand water up to 1.5 meters deep for a max of 30 minutes. On the rear side, they have a unique camera design composed of two circles including the camera sensors and the LED flash. They have very narrow bezels and a punch-hole display with a hole placed right at the center.

Display

The differences between the displays of these two phones are very minimal. They both come with OLED panels which are able to show up to one billion colors, as well as a Full HD+ resolution and an in-display fingerprint scanner for authentication. The Huawei P50 Pro has a 6.6-inch curved display, while the vanilla P50 has a flat display with a diagonal of 6.5 inches. Last, they have different refresh rates: the vanilla version has just 90 Hz, while the Pro variant has 120 Hz. At the end of the day, the displays are more or less at the same level and, unless you are a gamer, the panel of the P50 should be enough for you.

Specs & Software

Despite they are different variants from the same series, Huawei P50 and P50 Pro have the same processor: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz. The chipset is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage on the Huawei P50, while the P50 Pro comes in a superior configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. Note that the Huawei P50 Pro also comes in a variant with the Kirin 9000 mobile platform. The Snapdragon 888 variant will come to the market only in December, while the Kirin 9000 version will be available soon. Huawei P50 and P50 Pro have expandable storages thanks to a nano memory card slot, but none of them supports 5G: they only rely on 4G connectivity. The phones run HarmonyOS 2.0 instead of Android, which is essentially an Android fork. On the global market, they will not come with Google Mobile Services but they will have Huawei Mobile Services installed.

Camera

The camera is the most important difference between Huawei P50 and P50 Pro. The flagships come with the same main sensor with a 50 MP resolution and OIS, but they have different secondary sensors. With the Huawei P50 Pro, you get a 64 MP periscope sensor, a 13 MP ultrawide camera, and a 40 MP monochromatic camera. The vanilla version has a 12 MP periscope sensor and a 13 MP ultrawide camera: an inferior setup compared to the Pro. According to DxOMark, the Huawei P50 Pro is the best camera phone out there.

Battery

Another important advantage of the Huawei P50 Pro is the battery: it is bigger with a capacity of 4360 mAh (the standard version has just 4100 mAh) and, unlike the vanilla version, it supports wireless charging. So, besides providing a longer battery life, it will also provide a more comfortable way to charge the battery.

Price

Huawei P50 has a €600/$712 starting price in China, while P50 Pro starts from €800/$950. If it is important for you to have a longer battery life, wireless charging, and better cameras, you should go for the P50 Pro. Otherwise, the P50 is already a good choice for you.

Huawei P50 Pro will get a Kirin 9000 5G variant

Habeeb Onawole — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 14:59:00 +0000

A few days ago, Huawei announced the Huawei P50 series. However, both phones, the P50 and P50 Pro do not have support for 5G even though they are powered by chips that have 5G modems. You can read why here. If this is a dealbreaker for you, then you may want to wait for a rumored 5G version of the Pro model coming later.

The source of the info is Digital Chat Station and he said in a Weibo post that it has been confirmed that the Huawei P50 Pro will get a 5G version powered by the Kirin 9000 processor. We actually didn’t expect a 5G version of the Snapdragon 888 edition.

There is no info yet on when this model will be available but considering that some models of the P50 Pro won’t be sold until September alongside the standard P50, then we may not see this 5G version until later, probably the 4th quarter. The source also reaffirmed that the Huawei P50 Pro+ is coming too.

The Huawei P50 Pro has a 6.6-inch curved OLED screen with a centered punch hole and a 2700 x 1228 resolution. The screen has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate.

Huawei announced the phone in Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888 variants and it is available with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. There is also support for storage expansion.

The P50 Pro has two main cameras – a 50MP RGB sensor and a 40MP B/W sensor. There is also a 13MP ultrawide angle camera and a 64MP telephoto camera that brings 3.5x optical zoom, 20x hybrid zoom, and 100x digital zoom. The front-facing camera is a 13MP sensor.

A 4360mAh battery powers the device along with support for 66W fast wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging. A charger doesn’t come included in the box. The phone also has an IP68 rating, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and runs HarmonyOS 2. It is already available for pre-order in China and will be available for purchase on August 12.

Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro announced: fresh design, groundbreaking cameras, and the Snapdragon 888 chip

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 14:16:24 +0000

The Huawei P50 series should have been announced in the first quarter of the year but Huawei’s ongoing troubles forced the company to postpone the launch. Today, the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro have been finally announced in China and they boast a new design and the impressive photography performance the series is known for.

Huawei P50 series Design

The Huawei P50 duo drops the pill-shaped punch hole from last year’s P40 series for a centered hole that houses a single camera. However, the main change is on the back. Huawei has gone for a unique camera housing style that makes use of double rings to house the sensors. It takes up much more space but this design won’t have you confusing the Huawei P50 and P50 Pro for any other phone.

The P50 Pro is the more premium model of the two with its curved display, special Ripple Blue color variant, eye-catching pink variant, and a collector’s edition that is made of nano-crystalline glass which is stronger and has up to 5 times increased drop resistance.

Huawei P50 Specifications

The Huawei P50 has a 6.5-inch FHD+ (2700 x 1224) flat OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It can display up to 1.03 billion colors, has a P3 wide color gamut, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a 300Hz touch sampling rate.

Huawei has adopted Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor with a 4G modem. It comes with 8GB of RAM and will be available in 128GB and 256GB storage variants with support for storage expansion via an NM memory card slot.

There are three cameras on the back of the phone – a 50MP f/1.8 RGB camera, a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, and a 12MP f/3.4 telephoto camera with OIS. A 13MP f/2.4 camera sits inside the punch hole in the display.

The Huawei P50 has 5x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom. It also has the new generation XD Fusion Pro graphics engine for image enhancements.

There is a 4100mAh battery under the hood along with support for 66W fast wired charging. Sadly, the standard model doesn’t get support for wireless charging. It has an IP68 rating, dual SIM support, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. It will run HarmonyOS 2 out of the box.

Huawei P50 Pro Specifications

The Huawei P50 Pro has a 6.6-inch curved OLED display with a 2700 x 1228 resolution. The screen has a 120Hz refresh rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. It can display up to 1.07 billion colors and has a P3 wide color gamut.

Huawei is offering the P50 Pro in two processor variants – its own Kirin 9000 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888. However, both variants have their modems limited to 4G connectivity, no thanks to a sanction by the U.S. government. The difference in the chipset will translate to a difference in the overall performance of the phone. We are particularly eager to see the camera differences since they have different ISPs.

The Huawei P50 Pro will be available in four configurations:

8GB RAM +128GB
8GB RAM + 256GB
8GB RAM + 512GB
12GB RAM + 512GB

There is support for storage expansion (256GB. max) via Huawei’s proprietary NM memory card slot.

The Huawei P series is known for its camera performance and Huawei goes all out with the P50 Pro. The phone has two primary cameras – a 50MP f/1.8 RGB sensor with OIS and a 40MP f/1.6 Black and White sensor. The phone also has a 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera and a 64MP f/3.5 telephoto camera with OIS. There is a 13MP f/2.4 front-facing camera too with support for autofocus and AIS anti-shake.

The P50 Pro has 3.5x optical zoom, 20x hybrid zoom, and 100x digital zoom. Huawei says the P50 Pro has an HDR Vivid mode and an XD Fusion Pro graphics engine that optimizes image quality and color reproduction.

1 of 2

There is a 4360mAh battery under the hood with support for 66W fast wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging. It also has support for reverse wireless charging. Unfortunately, Huawei won’t be bundling the phone with a charger this year. Just like the P50, the pro model also has an IP68 rating. Other features are stereo speakers with a new Histen algorithm, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and HarmonyOS 2 pre-installed.

Here’s why the HUAWEI P50 series is limited to 4G LTE

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 13:31:54 +0000

After a long delay, Chinese tech giant Huawei has finally unveiled its latest flagship smartphone lineup – the HUAWEI P50 series. Unlike other premium handsets in the market, these phones don’t support 5G connectivity. Here’s why they are limited to 4G LTE.

HUAWEI P50

The newly announced HUAWEI P50 series has almost everything you can expect from high-end Android smartphones, except for 5G. The new handsets come from the same company that has been releasing 5G-enabled phones in every price segment since the launch of HUAWEI Mate 20 X 5G in 2019.

So why has the firm limited its latest and greatest phones of 2021 to 4G LTE? Unsurprisingly, it’s due to the four rounds of sanctions imposed by the United States government. This piece of information comes directly from Richard Yu, the CEO of HUAWEI Consumer Business Group. The executive revealed it during the presentation of handsets.

Due to the ban, despite sporting 5G-capable HiSilcon Kirin 9000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipsets, these phones don’t support 5G connectivity. Mr. Yu says that 4G and WiFi 6+ are enough for most use case scenarios. This statement is ironic for a telecom company like HUAWEI, which has been promoting 5G even before it was commercial.

The HUAWEI P50 series starts at ¥4,488 ($695) in China. The Kirin 9000 variant of the P50 Pro will be available in August, whereas the Snapdragon 888 version will go on sale in December. On the other hand, the vanilla P50 with Snapdragon 888 will hit the shelves in September.

Today, in this piece, we are rounding up all the rumors about the Huawei P50 series.

Huawei P50 Series Rumor Roundup: What to Expect?

The Huawei P50 series will include three phones dubbed P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Pro+. Additionally, the series is also said to get a few 4G models.

Display and Design

According to recent leaks, the Huawei P50 will feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 90Hz high refresh rate. On the other hand, the P50 Pro and P50 Pro+ will be sporting a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate.

The trio will feature a 10-bit color panel and a punch-hole cut-out for the front camera. A leak revealed that the P50 Pro will feature a 2.5K resolution panel.

Moreover, we shared exclusive case renders of the phone which revealed its rear design.

Cameras on the P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Pro+

Talking about cameras, the P50 series is expected to feature a unique camera island. The island will hold two huge camera rings sporting multiple cameras in the upper ring and a single periscope lens in the bottom ring.

Upfront, the P50, and P50 Pro will flaunt a single camera setup, whereas, the P50 Pro+ will boast a dual-punch-hole camera system. Recently, the smartphone was confirmed to feature a VARIO-SUMMILUX lens. It is also touted to take real-life colors while capturing images.

Hardware and Software

Under the hood, the vanilla Huawei P50 is slated to come powered by Kirin 9000 5G chipset and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G chipset.

The P50 Pro and P50 Pro+ would be launching with the same Kirin 9000 5G chipset. The phones will come in the base 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant.

Major differences between the trio will be in the battery. The Huawei P50 will pack a 4,200mAh battery with support for 66W fast charging technology. The P50 and P50 Pro+ were spotted with a 4,300mAh battery. The former will support a 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support, whereas, the P50 Pro+ will support 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support.

Earlier, rumors had it that the P50 series will run on HarmonyOS out of the box.

While the smartphone was supposed to be released in Black, White, and Yellow(gold) hues, a Sparkling Pink model was just seen in a leak.

Just like the predecessor, the upcoming P50 series is expected to launch in the premium segment. The predecessor P40 was launched starting at ~$900, and with this we can expect the P50 series to start at a similar price range.

Huawei P50 Pro 4G specifications leaked, variants receive 3C certifications

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 07:52:52 +0000

Huawei will be announcing the Huawei P50 series of flagship phones tomorrow in China. Although the series includes the P50 Pro+, tomorrow’s event could see the arrival of two phones namely, the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro. Ahead of the launch, the alleged P50 models have received certification from the 3C authority of China.

The new leak by Agarwal reveals that the JAD-AL50 model number belongs to the Huawei P50 Pro 4G smartphone. Hence, it can be assumed that the ABR-AL00 model number belongs to the Huawei P50 4G. Here is all the information on the specifications of the Pro model.

Huawei P50 Pro 4G specifications

As per the leak, the Huawei P50 Pro 4G has a 6.6-inch OLED screen that offers a resolution of 2700 x 1228 pixels. It carries support for a 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, and a 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.

Huawei has just shared a new camera sample for its upcoming flagship smartphone, the P50 Pro, on its official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website). The device is set to launch at the end of this month and now we have an action shot from its rear camera.

The Chinese tech giant shared the image on the social media platform and it features two men in a fencing match. Looking at this image, it is clear that the company doesn’t seek to simply highlight the P50 Pro camera’s ability to capture details, as we the image of the fencing match captures one person during a thrust and it showcases the still capturing capability of the Huawei P50 Pro’s camera. The post arrived with a caption that stated “Exciting moments, every second counts.”

Furthermore, the caption also added the July 29 launch date for the flagship series and highlighted the device’s ability to capture “every decisive moment.” Talking about the camera of the device, we had previously reported on a recent leak that revealed that the P50 Pro will arrive with a quad camera modue on the rear. This includes a Sony IMX800 primary lens, an OVA64A OmniVision sensor, a 5x periscope lens, and a ToF sensor.

Additionally, an official teaser from the company also revealed that the smartphone will feature lenses from Leica. Just under the branding, a writing can also be observed which states, “VARIO-SUMMILUX-H1:1.8-3.4/18-125ASPH”. This means that the device will arrive with a Vario Summilux lens by Leica with an aperture between f/1.8 and f/3.4. The company might share more sample shots ahead of the launch, so stay tuned for more.

Huawei’s upcoming P50 series smartphones confirmed to launch globally

Huawei is all set to launch its latest flagship smartphone lineup under its P-series — Huawei P50 on 29th July in its home country China. Continuing with the USP of this lineup, the smartphones will be focusing on mobile photography.

Ahead of the official launch next week, it has been confirmed that the upcoming Huawei P50 series smartphones won’t be limited to the Chinese market only but will be launched globally. The development was reported by GSMArena citing Huawei’s representative in Finland as the source for this information.

The company had recently shared a teaser for the P50 series smartphones, which revealed that the phones will pack Leica-branded lenses. The teaser video also highlights that it will capture true-to-life colors, offering exactly what you see in the real-life.

Reports have revealed that the upcoming P50 series will be equipped with the custom-made Sony IMX80 camera lens. It is said to be the first 1-inch mobile camera sensor with 50-megapixel resolution and an RYYB color filter.

The lineup is expected to have three models — P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Pro+ and if the reports are to be believed, then only the Pro and Pro+ models will come featuring Sony IMX800 lens. The standard model is expected to have a triple-camera sensor consisting of a Sony IMX707 lens, a Sony IMX600 lens, and a 3x telephoto sensor.

On the other hand, the Pro variant will have a quad-camera setup and along with the Sony IMX800 lens, there’s expected to be an OV64A OmniVision camera, 5x periscope camera, and a ToF camera sensor.

The devices are expected to come powered by the Kirin 9000 SoC but rumors indicate that the company will be launching only 4G variants. The global variants could come powered by the 4G-only Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. The Chinese brand could be launching 5G variants of the P50 series in the near future.

Huawei will officially launch the P50 series on July 29 in China. One of its major highlights will be the cameras. Just yesterday, the company shared its first teaser video highlighting the cameras, and today, Huawei has yet again shared another teaser video showcasing the colors captured from the phone’s cameras.

According to the video, the Huawei P50 series’ cameras will capture true-to-life colors. The images will have colors of exactly what you see in the real-life.

For starters, a recent leak revealed a triple rear camera system on the Huawei P50. It will feature a Sony IMX707 primary lens, a Sony IMX600 sensor, and lastly a 3x telephoto lens. On the other hand, the P50 Pro will feature a quad-camera system with a Sony IMX800 primary lens, an OVA64A OmniVision sensor, a 5x periscope lens, and a ToF sensor.

Additionally, a teaser from Huawei revealed that the phone has LEICA-powered lenses and just below the branding there was a writing that stated, “VARIO-SUMMILUX-H1:1.8-3.4/18-125ASPH”. It means that the phone will come with a Vario-Summilux lens by Leica with an aperture between f/1.8 and f/3.4.

Apart from the cameras, the Huawei P50 series will also come with powerful internals. For China, the P50 and P50 Pro will come powered by the Kirin 9000 SoC with 4G connectivity. The global markets are slated to get Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 powered units, but again, it will be limited to 4G connectivity.

The series is expected to feature a large display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Specifically, the Pro model is touted to boast a 2.5K (1224 x 2696 pixels) resolution display.

We are yet to learn the other hardware details of the series, but what we know are the color variants. A few days back, a Sparkling Pink color happened to pop up in the leaks, and it looked quite fancy. Other color variants could possibly be Black, White, and a Golden shade.
