Today, the first image of Huawei’s future flagship smartphone, which will likely be called the Huawei P50 Pro, appeared on the web.
Although these are unofficial renderings, they were created from images of a patent filed by Huawei, so the design of the image is not completely without merit.
Judging from the picture, the main design feature of the Huawei P50 Pro will be the rear camera; which will be located in a circle cut on one side. The main camera unit contains four sensors.
Previously, it was reported that Huawei plans to launch the next flagship series of smartphones in the first half of 2021. The source claims that Huawei will use the Kirin 9000 SoC for the Huawei P50.
Additionally, the report states that the display vendors for the Huawei P50 are Samsung Display and LG Display. Apparently they are now preparing for production. The source also adds that Samsung Display and LG Display will certainly supply screens for the Huawei P50; however, it is not known whether they will receive orders for the Huawei Mate 50 series.
Huawei to launch Huawei P50 series in the first half of 2021
Huawei has suffered a significant impact in its smartphone division due to the US government ban that sues the company on both hardware and software. The ban has been there since 2019 and the company has managed to survive its consequences. However, things got a bit tricky in 2020. The company lost access to its HiSillicon chipset division. TSMC, the current supplier of 5nm chips, can no longer deal with the company. Huawei is still doing its best to survive in the smartphone segment and recently released the Huawei Mate 40 series as the latest devices with Kirin chipsets. Now, the company will have to rely on third-party chip makers to continue marketing flagship products. Despite the issues, the company still intends to launch Huawei P50 flagships in the first half of 2021.
According to a report by TheElec, Huawei plans to launch the next iteration of the P-series in the first half of 2021. The report further states that Huawei will likely use the 5nm-based Kirin 9000 chipset. It is a surprise, after all, reports indicated that Huawei has directed the entire offering towards the Mate 40 series. Huawei Consumer Business CEO Yu Richard said in a previous statement that the Huawei Mate series 40 could be the last to sport a Kirin SoC.
Samsung and LG to supply Huawei P50 displays
Besides the chipset, reports indicate that the display providers for Huawei P50 are Samsung Display and LG Display. Both companies are preparing for production now. The resolution and actual design of these displays is obviously a mystery at the moment. P50 orders are final. However, the report states that it is not clear whether they will also receive orders for the upcoming Mate 50 series.
Huawei wants to keep its user base with strong smartphones and wants to keep its name as a competitive player in the flagship segment. The company almost reached Samsung a few years ago, shipping nearly 44 million flagship smartphones. It also topped Apple in the overall shipping rankings for 2019. Early estimates suggest the company is experiencing an expressive decline in 2020. While Chinese customers pretty much back Huawei, their devices are now almost unimportant on the market. world markets. It is difficult for a global customer to have a device without Google Apps.
We have to wait and see if Huawei will find a way around all the restrictions. Society can see some relief from Biden’s administration, but only time will tell.
