While there are several 5G phones already available on the market, only a few of them are rugged phones. Now, Hisense wants to add to the growing list with a new phone called the Hisense D50 5G that has just been certified by TENAA. The Hisense D50 5G has a 6.53-inch display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution and a camera in the middle of the display. We are not sure if this is a hole punch or a notch but it looks like the former.
There is a 2.0GHz octa-core processor
under the hood. We want to believe this is the Unisoc T7510 which Hisense has
been shipping its recent 5G smartphones with. Hisense will offer the phone in
three RAM variants – 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB – and it will come with 64GB, 128GB, or
256GB of storage. The Hisense D50 has four rear cameras – a 16MP + 8MP + 2MP +
2MP setup arranged vertically in a housing with an orange accent. There is a
fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone too.
Hisense crams a 4900mAh battery into the
phone but the TENAA listing does not mention if the device has fast charging
support. While the specs of the phone look decent, what is disappointing is
that Hisense will be shipping the phone with Android 9 Pie.
The Hisense D50 5G has reinforced corners
that can absorb shocks when the phone drops on the ground. The listing does not
say but the phone should have an IP68 rating which makes it resistant to water
up to a certain depth and also dust. The phone completes its look with an
orange-colored power button on the right and a similarly colored button on the
left. Hisense is yet to announce a launch date for the phone but we won’t bank
on it arriving before the end of the year.
