News & Reviews:   Huawei P50

The ban imposed by the U.S. on HUAWEI forbids the tech giant to have access to 5G technology from the country's companies. Interestingly, as 4G technology was not mentioned, HUAWEI is still allowed to purchase products from the U.S. that are using the previous generation mobile network. According to the latest report, the upcoming HUAWEI P50 will be using Qualcomm's 4G variant of the Snapdragon 888 chip.

The HUAWEI P50 was teased at the HarmonyOS launch event and many are excited about its arrival. Rumour has it, the device is going to be launched before September alongside the MatePad 11. Now, we've gotten new information saying that the P50 will be coming on 29 July.

It was only last week when Huawei hosted an event showcasing the HarmonyOS and devices that are eligible for the upgrade. While there was a no-show for the Huawei P50 series, we got ourselves some new information about the P50 series phone and a MatePad 11 tablet.

Update: Previously, Huawei took down the teaser video about the livestream event but it's now confirmed - 2 June 2021 @ 8 PM, Malaysia Time

A few days ago, a tweet by @RODENT950 was posted claiming that the upcoming Huawei P50 series could be the last smartphone lineup using Leica lenses. The original poster also claimed that Leica is currently looking for a new manufacturer such as HONOR, Xiaomi or even Sharp.

Based on a tweet by Twitter user @RODENT950, it seems that the attached images might have confirmed the final design of the Huawei P50 series. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the local market.

We are now in May and there's still no sign of a new Huawei flagship phone for the first time in years. Normally, they would unveil the latest P series from March onwards but the trouble with the US government is unfortunately far from over. Here's the latest news development of the rumoured Huawei P50 series.

At this time, more leaks of the HUAWEI P50 series are popping up frequently as we're getting closer to the launch which is rumoured to happen in May or June. Earlier, we've seen few renders of the device by showing us a dual-loop camera module design. Today, the live images leaked by someone are showing us the same thing that we saw.

Looks like a weibo user by the name of Dragon Two Pro recently made a post stating that the Huawei P50 series will come with a ‘Dual-Loop’ design at the rear. While not much is known in regards to the exact tech specs, we do know that it will come equipped with one of the largest camera sensors to date.

After Apple ditched the charger in the packaging of the iPhone 12 series, a few other smartphone makers such as Samsung and Xiaomi have also followed in the footsteps. Not only the mentioned brands, but HUAWEI has also taken the charging adapter out from the box of the Nova 8 and Mate 40 series. However, the Chinese company is not doing this mainly for environmental concerns but another reason.
