Top 5 highlights of HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro

HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro's circular triple-camera setup!

1. 50MP variable Ultra Aperture camera - The HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro features an impressive triple-camera setup with 50MP f/1.4 to f/4.0 Ultra Aperture Camera w/ phase focus + contrast focus, OIS, AIS + 13MP f/2.2 Ultra-Wide Angle w/ AF + 64MP f/3.5 Telephoto w/ OIS + LED flash.

The main highlight is the 50MP f/1.4 main sensor that features a variable aperture mode that adjusts automatically or manually via Portrait or Pro mode. It provides natural-looking background blurs in Portrait Mode and 2x to 3x zoom. Using the manual mode, you can even get a shot with legit starburst effects that you will only see on big cameras before. This is thanks to its 6 aperture blades.

It even handles lowlight situations amazingly and it also has great color science.

2. Gorgeous, premium design - The HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro maintains the signature series look made popular by the Mate 30. You get a 3D curved back design and a 3D curved display. It still has the large notch that houses the wide selfie camera and additional sensors.

The Orange variant uses Vegan Leather for the back cover which provides a more sophisticated character. With the Orange variant, you also get the tough Kunlun Glass which is the first to get a 5-star rating from SGS of Switzerland. It is said to be 10 times tougher against drops compared to the Black and Silver versions.

It is also IP68 water and dust-resistant.

3. Flagship performance - It features the 4nm 3.19GHz Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 octa-core processor, new gen Adreno GPU, 8GB RAM, and up to 512GB expandable storage. To be expected, the HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro is loaded with bleeding-edge specs. This will provide top-of-the-line performance in almost apps and games existing currently. 5G is still absent though due to the US Trade ban imposed on HUAWEI.

4. Huge battery with a myriad of charging options - It has a 4,700mAh battery which is big enough to always last you a full day with no problems. You can quickly charge the battery with its 66W SuperChare or 50W Wireless SuperCharge. It can also do reverse wireless charging for your other devices!

120Hz OLED screen!

5. 120Hz OLED screen - It also features a 6.74-inch Kunlun Glass protected 3D curved OLED screen with up to 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 2616 x 1212 resolution at 428 ppi pixel density.

This can provide a screen with vibrant colors, deep blacks, great brightness, and sharp images. 120Hz can provide smooth navigation, less eye strain, and great responsiveness. It also has stereo speakers and an In-Display fingerprint sensor.
