Huawei announced the HUAWEI P50 series consisting of HUAWEI P50 and HUAWEI P50 Pro at the end of July. Unlike the Pro model, which comes powered by both Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888, the vanilla variant only features Snapdragon 888. The Kirin 9000 version of the Pro went on sale soon after the unveil, while the vanilla model is scheduled to hit the shelves next week. Ahead of that, this phone has been now listed on popular online retailers.

According to a report by ITHome, the HUAWEI P50 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is now listed on JD, TMall, and other online retailers in China. The smartphone is set to go on sale for the first time on September 29 at 10:08 AM (local time).

The HUAWEI P50 arrives with features like 6.5-inch 90Hz OLED display, 50MP (wide) + 12MP (5x periscope) + 13MP (ultra-wide) triple rear camera setup, 13MP front-facing camera, IP68 dust and water resistance, stereo speakers, under-display fingerprint sensor, HarmonyOS 2.0, 4,100mAh battery, 66W fast charging, and more.

Unfortunately, it does not have support for 5G just like the Pro model. These phones are limited to 4G LTE due to the four rounds of sanctions imposed by the United States. The 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB variants of the handset are priced at ¥4,448 ($694) and ¥4,988 ($771) respectively in China.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 888 version of the HUAWEI P50 Pro is expected to go on sale in December.
