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

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

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 P50 Pocket foldable phone roundup: display, specs, colors & more – what to expect!

Zohaib Ahmed — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 11:19:16 +0000

2022 seems to be the year of the foldables, just as realme’s Xu Qi had earlier predicted. The market that has been completely dominated by Samsung until now is beginning to heat up firstly with the release of the OPPO Find N and now the soon-to-launch Huawei P50 Pocket.

A launch event will be held on December 23rd for the device where the curtains will also be lifted on some other products like the Huawei Watch D smartwatch with support for blood pressure monitoring. The Huawei P50 Pocket is likely the same device that has been doing rounds as the Huawei Mate V for a while now.

Design & Display

Display analyst and CEO of Display Supply China Consultants (DSCC) Ross Young recently revealed that the Huawei P50 Pocket is equipped with a large 6.85-inch foldable screen, which is a tiny bit larger than the one on the Galaxy Z Flip3. The primary display is complemented by a smaller, circular cover display on the outside of the phone, with a size of 1-inch. This one is positioned under the rear camera module, also with a circular design.

But even with the usage of such a breakthrough piece of tech, Huawei hasn’t gone light on the design of the Huawei P50 Pocket and has undoubtedly made it quite the head-turner, with a golden body and a unique textured finish. Some images were shared yesterday by a fashion magazine, showing Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong endorsing the Huawei P50 Pocket. A use case of the outside display has also been demonstrated therein, showing the actress clicking a selfie using the rear camera.

Cameras on the Huawei P50 Pocket

Moving on to the cameras, a tipster had claimed that the P50 Pocket’s rear camera setup will include a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 13-megapixel snapper, and an 8-megapixel tertiary lens. The handset may carry support for 3x optical zoom.

Other Specifications

Apart from the above, there is barely anything known about the Huawei P50 Pocket in terms of specifications, although reports do suggest that the phone will be coming with support for 66W rapid charging. If true, it will be leaving the Galaxy Flip3’s 15W charging in the dust.

There is no information on the chipset and battery capacity of the P50 Pocket. The device is likely to arrive with support for 66W rapid charging. Apart from the gold variant, the P50 Pocket may also arrive in a blue edition. The leak claims that it will be priced lower than the Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G. To recollect, the Samsung flip phone was introduced with a pricing of $999. As usual, readers are recommended the specs leak of the P50 Pocket with a grain of salt.

Colors & Expected Pricing

Apart from the gold coloring showcased in the images above, the Huawei P50 Pocket may also come in a blue edition and a white variant.

As for pricing, the phone is expected to be cheaper than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip3 that debuted with a price tag of $999. Offerings from Chinese companies are generally cheaper as it was seen with the OPPO Find N’s price of around $1,200, which is much lower than the Z Fold3’s launch price of $1,799.99.

That said, with just a few days left for launch, we should be getting further details about the stunning foldable phone through both official and unofficial channels.

Huawei 5G phones prices rise in used market after launch of 4G only P50 series

Sean — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 10:25:22 +0000

Huawei had just launched the P50 series earlier this week. But despite being a flagship grade lineup, the new smartphones only arrives in a 4G version. This, in turn, has led to the prices of the brand’s 5G smartphone models to rise in the second hand used market in China.

P50 Pro

The price hike for used 5G Huawei smartphone models was observed by the Zhuanzhuan Group, which is a popular online market place that deals lets users buy and sell second hand used products in China. Generally, a smartphone’s value in the market usually always falls after its initial launch date. But now, the opposite seems to be occurring with the price of older 5G enabled smartphones from the Chinese tech giant rising.

The report from the used online market place stated that the prices of these 5G models are about 3 to 9 percent higher than in early June 2021. Notably, the Mate 40 Pro saw the highest increase in second hand market pricing. The price of a second hand Mate 40 Pro at the end of July 2021 is about 6,363 Yuan (roughly 985 USD), which is about 323 Yuan (roughly 50 USD) higher than back in June and marks about a 5.43 percent price hike overall.

Mate 40 Pro

Similarly, the Mate 30 Pro 5G also saw a price rise during this same period, with a hike of 293 Yuan (roughly 45 USD) or about a 7.71 percent rise in price over a month prior. As of right now, the price of this model is around 4,093 Yuan (roughly 633 USD) on the Chinese used product selling platform. Analysts added that there were a number of factors that led to this price rise of older phones, with one of them being the launch of the 4G only P50 series. These used flagship devices are now not only more cost effective despite being high end, but also support 5G networking that the latest launch doesn’t.

Huawei P50 series to capture real-life colors from its cameras

Pranav — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 18:10:53 +0000

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.

HUAWEI P50 series camera specs leaked

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 09:32:10 +0000

The HUAWEI P series is the company’s flagship smartphone lineup for the first half of the year. Unfortunately, due to the US ban and semiconductor shortage, the next-gen HUAWEI P50 series has been delayed. Currently, it’s not sure when the devices will launch, however, their features continue to leak.

A Huawei-focussed tipster who goes by the username @RODENT950 has revealed the camera specs of the HUAWEI P50 series. According to a tweet of his from Saturday (July 10), the next flagship smartphones from Huawei will arrive with the following camera setups.

HUAWEI P50

- - Sony IMX707
  - Sony IMX600
  - 3x Telephoto

HUAWEI P50 Pro

- Sony IMX800
- Omnivision OV64A
- 5x Periscope
- ToF / New Sensor

Unfortunately, the leaker is yet to reveal anything about the front camera. Hence, the selfie camera of these phones continues to be a mystery.

According to previous reports, the HUAWEI P50 Pro will flaunt a 2.5K (1224 x 2696 pixels) display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Unsurprisingly, it will have support for 5G connectivity and WiFi 6+. Additionally, there could be a 4G variant as well.

Talking about the design, Huawei had already officially exposed the design of the HUAWEI P50 series at the HarmonyOS conference in early June. The back of the phones will house two giant circles with cameras inside them. In other words, the handsets will look similar to the HONOR 50 series.

What are your thoughts on the HUAWEI P50 series? Do you think the lineup will ever get a release date outside China as the company appears to be struggling to launch the smartphones even in its home country? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Huawei P50 protective case appears online, reaffirming the rear design

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 06:51:09 +0000

Huawei has not been as vibrant as it used to in terms of product releases, no thanks to sanctions by the Trump’s U.S administration that cut off the company from access to chip for its smartphones. Huawei was able to launch the Mate X2 foldable phone with a Kirin 9000 chip as a result of inventories it stockpiled before the ban went into effect. In the same manner, the company is also expected to announce the Huawei P50 around April this year.

The renders of the P50 series consisting of the P50 and P50 Pro were shared by noted tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@Onleaks) on Voice recently. The renders not only gave us a glimpse of the front aspect of the models but also the rear designs. Yet again, the P50’s rear protective case has appeared online to lend some credence to the rendered design. The protective case contains two large cut-outs at the rear for the camera modules.

The Huawei P50 series is expected to arrive with a dual-camera setup with the two camera sensors having an extraordinarily large round aperture each of equal sizes. However, the configuration of the camera setup is yet to be revealed. There are speculations, though, that the P50’s camera setup will include an industry-first 1-inch Sony IMX800 sensor.

This leaked protective case is a third-party accessory but it goes to confirm that the device will likely arrive with the unique design that was leaked by Onleaks. We expect more details of the P50 series to emerge as the expected launch date draws closer.

Huawei P50 renders show a flat display and same camera layout as the P50 Pro

Balaji S — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:49:18 +0000

Yesterday, Steve Hemmerstoffer(@Onleaks) revealed the Huawei P50 Pro CAD renders. Today he is back with the renders and specs of the vanilla Huawei P50.

Huawei P50 render Credit: Steve (@Onleaks)/Voice

Right off the bat, we see that the renders show a similar pill-shaped camera layout with a bump and two huge cutouts inside. However, the device has a flat display and not a curved one like the Huawei P50 Pro.

Huawei P50 Design and Specs(Expected)

Just like the Pro, the Huawei P50 is said to come with a rear glass panel and a metallic frame. The device will likely measure 156.7 x 74 x 8.3mm. If you are wondering the thickness is fairly less, it bumps up to 10.6mm on including the rear camera layout which is a whopping 2.3mm increase in thickness.

If Steve’s render is accurate, the non-Pro variant will also a 0.3mm more thickness(with camera bump) than the Huawei P50 Pro. That said, the silver color variant shown in the renders has Type-C, speakers, antenna lines at the bottom, another speaker & IR blaster at the top, volume & power buttons to the right.

As for specs, steve says that the Huawei P50 will come with a 6.3-inch flat display with a punch-hole at the center. The display has bezels slightly bigger than the ‘Pro’ variant. Although we are yet to know the number of sensors inside the camera layout, Huawei is expected to include an industry-first 1-inch Sony IMX800 sensor.

If reports are to be believed, the Huawei P50 series will feature the same Kirin 9000 flagship chipset. Other expected specs include a in-display fingerprint scanner, run HarmonyOS out of the box. Let’s wait for more leaks as the speculated April 17 launch gets closer.

Huawei P50 series tipped to be the first Huawei model to run HarmonyOS out of the box

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 10:26:45 +0000

Huawei is yet to release its home-grown HongmengOS (HarmonyOS) adapted for mobile phones even though the company has been testing it on several models like the P30. d hinted about plans to push it to its flagship mobile phones. Apparently, the Chinese tech giant is planning to release the upcoming P50 series with a bang. There are rumours now that the P50 will be the first model to launch with HarmonyOS (HongmengOS) from the go.

A Weibo post by Fast Technology is claiming that the company has completed the test process of HarmonyOS 2.0 Beta 2 and is shifting to Beta 3 which will be the final step before a stable release. The post also reveals that the HarmonyOS will come pre-installed on the P50 series, making it the first smartphone to run HarmonyOS out of the box.

Make no mistake, Huawei has already pushed beta versions of the HarmonyOS to some of its older smartphones like the P40, P30, Mate 30 Pro 5G, and others. However, the P40 will totally ditch the AndroidOS.

Huawei is also set to massively push HarmonyOS update to several of its models beginning from April with the flagship models front in line to get the update. The company is looking at having the in-house ROM onboard up to 300-400 million of its devices by the end of this year. That also includes smart TVs, smartwatches, and other IoT gadgets that utilize the OS.

Ahead of the mass migration, Huawei has expanded its Petal line with the Petal Search upgraded to a full search engine. The company also launched Petal Maps and Docs. The company is also expected to launch the Petal Assistant, a Petal keyboard, and Petal Vision which may be an AR app since the company already has AR glasses under its sleeves.

Huawei will reportedly launch the flagship Huawei P50 in H1 2021

Balaji S — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 12:47:23 +0000

Huawei is being targeted in both the hardware and software front by the US Government. Apart from advocating countries to opt-out of Huawei’s 5G tech, it’s reinforced restrictions meant Huawei had to struggle more to access it’s Kirin Chipsets. However, the company is trying its best to survive in the Global Arena. Amidst this, a report now says that Huawei is on course to launch the next P50 flagships in 2021.

A report by TheElec says that Huawei is planning to launch the next iteration of the P series(Tentative: Huawei P50) in the first half of 2021. The report also says that Huawei is likely to use the Kirin 9000 SoC for the respective flagship P50 series. This contradictory to Huawei Consumer Business CEO, Yu Richard’s earlier statement. He had said that Huawei Mate 40 Series could be the last to sport Kirin SoC.

Besides, the report says that display suppliers of Huawei P50 are Samsung Display and LG Display. Apparently, they are getting ready for the production as of now. Although the orders for P50 are final, the report says that there is no clarity if they will get orders for the next Mate series.

That said, Huawei was a King in both the Home country and Global markets before the tussle with the US. It shipped over 240 million smartphones in 2019 where its P and Mate series played a big role. Precisely, it almost leveled with South Korean giant Samsung by shipping nearly 44 million flagship devices. Additionally, it surpassed the Cupertino Giant Apple in the entire shipment rankings for 2019 taking the second spot.

Similarly, the company had a great potential going into 2020. But the US Government has spoiled the party for Huawei. Not to mention the latest 5nm Kirin 9000 SoC is the company’s biggest achievement. It has 30% more transistors compared to Apple’s A14 5nm SoC. Anyway, the latest report suggests that Huawei might manage to include the Kirin SoC on the next flagship series but it will be interesting to see if it opts for an alternative solution.

Nevertheless, we will have to wait for a bit to find out as Huawei’s usual timeline for the P series launch falls somewhere between March-April of every year. That said, the recently launched Mate 40 series has been a great hit in China. The devices got sold out in First pre-orders got in just 28 seconds. After this, Huawei faced a huge shortage of devices both in online and offline markets.

Huawei P50 series already in development; will set a new DXOMark record

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 13:42:20 +0000

The Huawei P40 Pro currently sits atop DXOMark’s list of phones with the best cameras. Come next year, Huawei aims to retain the crown with the P50 series which is already in development according to an executive.

Details about the development of the next P-series flagship were revealed by Wang Yonggang, the General Manager of the P-series product line. He said that the time frame from development to launch of the P-series phones takes at least 18 months. This means the P50 series has already been in development even before the launch of the P40 series in March.

Wang stated that the global R&D team meets a year before the launch to discuss innovative technologies and solutions that will make it to the devices. Seeing as we are already in June and assuming the P50 series will launch in March next year, this meeting should already have taken place.

The company executive said the next P-series flagships will boast cutting-edge technologies including new breakthroughs when they arrive next year. Huawei is expected to launch the flagships with the new 5nm Kirin 1000 chipset that will appear first in the Mate 40 series after this year.
