The Huawei P50 could maybe maybe well in the end practically be here, with a later begin than we had been watching for. The in all probability date appears like to be June 2 – which is incredibly rapidly.
The phone could maybe maybe well be price getting eager on too, as there is roar of a extensive digital camera sensor, an entire current operating plan, and all-round flagship specs.
Underneath, you must maybe maybe well fetch every thing we bear heard in regards to the Huawei P50 thus a long way, including data on the seemingly free up date and price. Then extra down you must maybe maybe well fetch our wish listing for the fluctuate – which is at possibility of additionally include a Huawei P50 Reputable and a Huawei P50 Reputable Plus.
We’re wishing for so much here – the Huawei P40 and its siblings (the Huawei P40 Reputable and Huawei P40 Reputable Plus) had been in so much of programs among the many correct phones of 2020 – they had very fair correct cameras, loads of energy, and very fair correct battery lives. However they’re all vastly held wait on by the spend of plan, so we’re hoping for a alternate on the P50.
We’ll additionally be adding to this text as extra rumors roll in, so make trudge to verify wait on customarily.
Newest info
We bear heard the Huawei P50 will be a 4G-most efficient phone, or on the least one model of it could maybe maybe well no longer bear 5G connectivity.
Cleave to the mosey
- What’s it? The successor to the flagship Huawei P40
- When is it out? Likely June 2
- What’s going to it impress? Likely upwards of £699 / AU$1,099 (round $900)
Huawei P50 free up date and price
We opinion the Huawei P50 would land at an match on June 2, as a teaser listing exhibiting what appears like to be the phone’s digital camera block involves that date, however that was out to be fully detrimental. So for now, we operate no longer know when we are going to watch the plan.
Beforehand, we would heard that the Huawei P50 fluctuate would near within the major half of 2021. That is was out to be fully detrimental, and since most leaks concurred, we’re left at heart of the night.
In spite of every thing, we’d demand the phones to ship inside two weeks of their announcement date, if no longer sooner, in step with previous assemble.
As for the impress, that’s unknown on the time of writing, however the Huawei P40 launched for £699 / AU$1,099 (round $900), so the Huawei P50’s impress will be an analogous.
Pointless to claim, that’s exact the sinful model. The Huawei P40 Reputable impress £899 / AU$1,599 (round $1,100) and the P40 Reputable Plus was as soon as £1,299 (roughly $1,570 / AU$2,500), so demand costs to upward thrust steeply for the Huawei P50 Reputable and Huawei P50 Reputable Plus. And as with the P40 fluctuate, these phones practically no doubt won’t land within the US.
Assemble and notify
Huawei has teased the Huawei P50 with some first payment pictures exhibiting fragment of the wait on of the phone. You can watch this kind of below (and others extra down within the digital camera fragment, as the digital camera is the sure focal point here).
The digital camera block takes up many of the head left nook of the rear, and it involves two tall circles housing the lenses.
Beyond that, the wait on and show cowl both explore to be somewhat curved, the plan appears like slim, and there could be a presumably steel physique and glass wait on. The gold color below is additionally presumably one of the critical shades that the Huawei P50 (or on the least one of the critical units) will be supplied in.
That listing presumably is never any longer of the Huawei P50 itself even supposing, as in step with rumors we’re most efficient watching for the Huawei P50 Reputable Plus to bear a quad-lens digital camera, so as that’s presumably what we’re taking a see at here.
In a kind of locations, we bear additionally had a shut explore on the seemingly discover of the Huawei P50 thanks to leaked photos of a dummy unit, which you must maybe maybe well watch below.
This is never any longer the right phone, however it’s miles a model – seemingly weak by a case maker or a kind of firm – designed to describe the phone, and the details could maybe maybe well smartly be fair correct.

You can watch a digital camera block with two extensive circles, each housing two lenses, while the front has a flat show cowl and a punch-gap selfie digital camera.
We bear additionally seen renders of both the Huawei P50 and the Huawei P50 Reputable, courtesy of Steve Hemmerstoffer (a leaker with a lawful note file).
The pictures, about a of which you must maybe maybe well watch below, match the dummy unit above, exhibiting a extensive digital camera block on both phones, with what appears like to be two tall lenses – even supposing we know now that they home extra than that.

Save aside a question to extra
Furthermore, both phones curiously bear a pitcher wait on and a steel physique, however the physique is outwardly curvier on the P50 Reputable. The Huawei P50 Reputable is additionally proven with smaller bezels and a 6.6-mosey curved show cowl, while the fashioned Huawei P50 has a 6.3-mosey flat notify.
The same provide additionally shared dimensions, with the Huawei P50 curiously being 156.7 x 74 x 8.3mm (or 10.6mm on the rear digital camera bump), and the Huawei P50 Reputable talked about to be 159 x 73 x 8.6mm (or 10.3mm on the rear digital camera bump). Every phones additionally curiously bear an in-show cowl fingerprint scanner.

Save aside a question to extra
Sooner than these pictures, we would seen the render below, which supposedly displays the Huawei P50 Reputable and is derived from the an analogous provide.
It displays a curved show cowl, minimal bezel, and a single-lens punch-gap digital camera within the head heart. You must maybe maybe watch energy and volume buttons on the splendid edge.
In a kind of locations, a contributor to SlashLeaks has shared photos supposedly exhibiting the fashioned Huawei P50. They notify a single-lens punch-gap digital camera within the head left nook of the show cowl, and what appears like to be a quad-lens digital camera in a tall rectangular block on the wait on.
On the different hand, these operate no longer line up with the pictures above, plus the photos are grainy and low quality, and on the time of writing bear a ‘have confidence ranking’ of exact 22% from customers of the positioning, so we wouldn’t count on these ones being fair correct.
We bear additionally heard that the Huawei P50 fluctuate can bear a brand current discover, which in step with leaks it does – even supposing mostly by the spend of the cameras.
Digicam and battery
Huawei itself has revealed some details of the cameras on the Huawei P50 fluctuate, having shared the pictures below in a teaser video.
These notify a quad-lens digital camera setup with Leica branding. Given the selection of lenses this is maybe the Huawei P50 Reputable Plus, as a leak (below) means that could be the splendid model with four rear lenses.
Text next to the digital camera block additionally means that the apertures will vary from f/1.8 (presumably on the ultra-broad) to f/3.4 (seemingly on the telephoto), with focal lengths starting from 18mm to 125mm. That is the an analogous as you must maybe maybe well fetch on the P40 Reputable, which has a 5x optical zoom. It additionally lists an aspherical lens, which customarily helps lower aberrations.

Beyond that, our necessary data on the Huawei P50’s digital camera currently comes from exact one provide – a Twitter leaker who goes by Rodent950.
They claim that the fashioned Huawei P50 can bear a fashioned, ultra-broad and telephoto setup, while the Huawei P50 Reputable will replace the telephoto with a periscope digital camera (seemingly taking into consideration better zoom). The Huawei P50 Reputable Plus will curiously bear a fashioned, ultra-broad, telephoto, and periscope digital camera, besides to a time-of-flight sensor for judging depth.
Perchance extra interestingly, this provide additionally claims that a Sony sensor dubbed the IMX800 is destined for inclusion within the fluctuate. Here is curiously a 1-mosey sensor, making it the splendid but in a smartphone, which in turn could maybe maybe well level-headed enable for better quality pictures and presumably better low gentle pictures.

Save aside a question to extra
The pictures extra up no doubt point out extensive cameras on the Huawei P50 fluctuate, which supports the claim of a tall sensor size, and it’s an provide that we bear heard extra than as soon as.
Indeed, Rodent950 has since strategy wait on with what appears like to be an first payment listing of the digital camera block on one of the critical Huawei P50 units, which you must maybe maybe well watch below. It involves three cameras within the head circle and one within the backside one, so in step with old leaks it’s seemingly the Huawei P50 Reputable Plus.
Notably this appears like a much just like the layout in first payment pictures that Huawei has now shared.
Specs and aspects
On the time of writing, we haven’t heard considerable in regards to the Huawei P50’s specs, however in step with previous assemble it’s presumably going to make spend of the an analogous chipset as the Huawei Mate 40, namely the Kirin 9000.
Here is the firm’s first 5nm chipset, a pass which has result in an enchancment in efficiency, as you’d demand.
We bear namely heard that the Huawei P50 will spend this chipset, however beforehand we would additionally heard from Huawei that consequently of the ongoing Huawei ban the firm would close the spend of Kirin chipsets, as it could maybe maybe well no longer be in a jam to provide parts for them after 2020.
That did leave us a miniature bit at a loss for words as as to whether or no longer the Kirin 9000 would make it to the P50 or no longer, however current reports point out that Huawei no doubt stockpiled ample of the chips for its next phone before manufacturing was as soon as shut down consequently of restrictions imposed by the US.
One other provide has additionally now pointed to that chipset – even supposing most efficient for the Huawei P50 Reputable and Huawei P50 Reputable Plus. They claim the fashioned Huawei P50 will spend the lesser Kirin 9000E chipset, and can level-headed bear the role of a ‘Lite’ model.
This provide additionally mentions a “current ultra-sensing digital camera plan”, however it’s miles undecided what precisely they mean by that.
A leak means that there will be a Huawei P50 that’s most efficient 4G appreciate minded. Whether this capability there will be no 5G model, or that there will simply be a 4G scuttle-off alongside a 5G model, stays to be seen.
Beyond that, we are in a position to additionally narrate that unless things alternate in Huawei’s relationship with the US, the Huawei P50 won’t bear discover admission to to Google apps and products and services.
It would seemingly level-headed speed Android, considerable appreciate a kind of fresh Huawei phones – which bear the core operating plan however bear to depend on third-occasion app stores. On the different hand, there is an opportunity that Huawei could maybe maybe well as a change equip the P50 fluctuate with its bear Cohesion OS.
In protecting with Sina (a critical Chinese info set) the Huawei P50 fluctuate will speed Cohesion OS, and that’s a claim that’s since been made as soon as more, this time on Weibo. However even supposing this is candy, it’s conceivable that it could maybe maybe well most efficient attain so in some parts of the field, with a kind of areas level-headed getting Android.
What we are making an are attempting to observe
We don’t bear considerable confirmed data in regards to the Huawei P50, but, however we attain know what we desire from it. The next things high our listing.
1. Google Mobile Products and services
On the different hand lawful Huawei’s hardware is, its plan is continually at possibility of be missing unless, or till, it regains discover admission to to Google Mobile Products and services (and subsequently the Google Play Store and Google’s apps). Here is out of Huawei’s hands, and we’re no longer optimistic that it could maybe maybe well happen in time for the Huawei P50’s begin, however it’s our splendid hope for the phone.
And if that’s no longer reasonable, then we’d on the least appreciate to observe some extensive enhancements to Huawei’s different app retailer. On the second it’s severely missing when put next with Google Play, and is even missing a ramification of extensive name apps, so we’d appreciate to observe Huawei make a right push to discover extra developers on board.
2. A 120Hz refresh payment on all units
While some phones – equivalent to the OnePlus 8 Reputable and Samsung Galaxy S20 – bear 120Hz refresh rates, the most any handset within the Huawei P40 fluctuate manages is 90Hz, and the sinful P40 has exact a 60Hz refresh payment, which feels distinctly missing for a excessive-stop handset.
So, for the Huawei P50 fluctuate, we desire the firm to push the refresh payment as much as on the least 120Hz, and we are making an are attempting to observe that supplied all over the lineup. If it could maybe maybe well manage an very fair correct better refresh payment, then your entire better.
3. A sharper show cowl
The Huawei P40 has exact a FHD+ 1080 x 2340 show cowl, and while the Huawei P40 Reputable and Reputable Plus better it with 1200 x 2640 monitors, that’s level-headed no longer hitting the QHD+ level learned on phones appreciate the 1440 x 3200 Samsung Galaxy S20.
Provided that these are excessive-stop and in some case high-stop handsets, we’d demand a competitive decision, so we’d appreciate to observe that improved for the Huawei P50 fluctuate.
There’s no need to trudge overboard – at a trudge point, extra pixels won’t attain considerable unless your eyes are pressed up in opposition to the show cowl, however matching Samsung here would be a lawful begin. And given that even the fundamental Galaxy S20 has a excessive decision, we’d appreciate even the fundamental P50 to attain so as smartly.
4. Honest water resistance on the sinful P50
With the P40 fluctuate, Huawei has restricted decent water resistance to the P40 Reputable and Reputable Plus. They’re both IP68 certified, which is essentially essentially based on the likes of the iPhone 11 and Samsung Galaxy Uncover 20 Ultra, and capability they would possibly be able to face as much as submersion in water. The fashioned Huawei P40, even supposing, most efficient has an IP53 ranking, which implies it wants so as to continue to exist a splash, however no longer considerable extra.
For the Huawei P50 fluctuate we desire IP68 certification supplied all over the fluctuate, and if Huawei wants its pricier units to face out, then how about even better water resistance for them? There aren’t many phones within the market that you just must maybe maybe well safely take diving, let’s assume, so maybe the Huawei P50 Reputable could maybe maybe well stand out in that implies.
5. Wireless charging on all units
Wireless charging is changing into ever extra fundamental, however while it’s supplied by the Huawei P40 Reputable and Huawei P40 Reputable Plus, you won’t fetch it on the fashioned Huawei P40.
So, with it changing into extra fundamental among excessive-stop handsets, we’d appreciate the fashioned Huawei P50 to present it, as it could maybe maybe well no doubt seem a critical omission if it’s no longer notify by the time that phone launches.
