Huawei’s next flagship line is the Huawei P50 series and a new leak from @OnLeaks gives us a look at reportedly the first smartphone to launch with Huawei’s in-house operating system that reduces its reliance on Android.
Huawei’s gearing up to launch its next
flagship smartphone. The P50 series is expected to come and may be the first
Huawei device to launch with the company’s in-house Harmony OS. Renders of the
Huawei P50 Pro have leaked, and while the handset’s body looks pretty conventional,
what stands out is the camera island.
The camera bump has two huge circular
glass lenses, but we can’t see what’s underneath them. While smartphone cameras
are normally small, these twin glasses really hint at Huawei’s upcoming
flagship's camera prowess. Huawei’s P-series normally showcases powerful
photography features while the Mate series focuses more on business and
productivity features. We also see a glass back and metal frame, which are
fairly standard affair. The top and bottom ends of the phone are flat and
although there’s no headphone jack, we can spot an IR-blaster at the top.
According to the report, the display at
the front is a 6.6-inch panel with slightly curved edges and very thin bezels.
As you can tell from the renders, there’s a centered punch-hole for the selfie
camera. This is a departure from Huawei’s off-center punch-hole dual selfie
cameras.
As for the rear cameras, there’s still no
information about any of the sensors. It’s speculated that each circular lens
will house either one or multiple cameras and sensors within. The P50 Pro is
reportedly going to have a Sony IMX800 1” sensor with 50MP resolution, built
for smartphones. Other speculations include an integrated fingerprint scanner
and dual stereo loudspeakers.
While the camera bump’s design looks new
and distinct, the overall design is nothing groundbreaking. We expect to hear
many strong opinions for and against the camera design, but cosmetic
appearances don’t outweigh the actual camera’s performance. We’re certainly intrigued
by what Huawei is going to put out. Huawei’s P50 series is expected to debut
sometime later this month with three P50 models.
