Newer Huawei phones are limited to 4G connectivity due to the sanctions imposed by the US government. However, a company named SoyeaLink sells a case for Huawei P50 Pro, which enables 5G support. According to certifications, this firm will release similar cases for the upcoming Huawei Mate 50 series.

Three new 5G cases from SoyeaLink have been certified by China’s MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology). They bear model numbers SY108-618, SY108-658, and SY108-688.

These cases are expected to be designed for Huawei Mate 50, Huawei Mate 50 Pro, and Porsche Design Huawei Mate 50 RS. According to reports, there will be a fourth device called Huawei Mate 50e. Hence, there may not be a 5G case for it.

As per leaks, all the aforementioned Mate 50 series models will be powered by Qualcomm chipsets. The vanilla, Pro, and Porsche Design variants are said to house a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Whereas, the Mate 50e is tipped to feature a Snapdragon 778G chip.

These two system-on-chips come with a 5G modem as standard. But on the forthcoming Huawei smartphones, 5G connectivity will be disabled on them. Hence, the SoyeaLink cases.

The SoyeaLink case for the Huawei P50 Pro weighs 52g and measures 3.2mm in thickness. It features a 5G model with an eSIM. It runs on a 1.35GHz dual-core CPU and supports sub-6GHz 5G (NSA and SA). It is priced at ¥800 ($115).

Similar specs and prices are expected for the yet-to-release three cases for the Huawei Mate 50 series.
