Huawei P50 Pro: Crazy Cameras, Delayed Release Date? [Leak Roundup] By Android Central

Life hasn't been easy for Huawei, since it ended up on the US's naughty list two years ago, cutting it off from Google Qualcomm and other us technologies. Phones like the mate, 30 and p40, were great but difficult to recommend if you relied on any google services. Nevertheless, in 2021 Huawei is pushing ahead with the p50 series, the latest, in its photography, centric line of phones. These are going to be milestone. Devices for Huawei, because they'll be the first to not run android. The p50 series will instead use Huawei's own harmony, OS 2.0, which is technically different, but still capable of running android apps from what we've seen so far from leaked harmony, OS builds running on the mate 40 pro the core look and feel hasn't changed a lot. Since the previous emu 11, though we can see a redesigned, quick settings panel and an iOS style, app library feature plus some pretty neat expandable widgets, essentially, Huawei is free to do whatever it wants, with harmony OS and from this it appears they're, leaning into much more of an iPhone like design language, despite not technically being an android phone.

You can still expect the same level of android app compatibility as any recent Huawei phone, which is to say, stuff, will generally work, but obviously there's no play store and apps that rely on Google Play Services might misbehave the best information we have on the Huawei, p50 and p50 pro comes from cad renders created by the generally reliable, on leaks for both devices, you're looking at a familiar curved glass front and back panel with a hole, punch camera, though this time relocated to the center of the panel. It's also interesting to note the lack of a double space selfie shooter this time around, unlike the p40 pro with Huawei, apparently settling for a single front face also revealed these renders is an IR blaster on the top frame. Go figure around. The back is where things really get interesting, though both p50 phones feature this enormous double-spaced camera module and at present no one really knows what Huawei's going to do with its new camera system. The p-series has often been used to showcase new imaging technology in Huawei phones.

So one possibility is the rumored one-inch Sony, mix 800 sensors occupying at least one of those gigantic camera bulges, and if the rumors are accurate, this would be the largest sensor in any smartphone. These cad renders would seem to contradict this leaked image of an apparent p50 prototype that leaked back in late 2020, assuming it's not just the result of simple bakery. It's possible we're looking here at an earlier design for that big old camera module. However, I wouldn't put too much faith in case maker's interpretations of how the actual cameras themselves will look, nor in plastic dummy units which claim to show more details of the phones. We've seen photos of these leak out online in recent days.

Dummy units like this one are easy to come across in China, they're not always made by the manufacturer and don't necessarily tell you anything reliable with a phone like the p50. An excellent main camera is table. Stakes what's going to be more interesting, is what happens with those secondary cameras, the ultra-wide, which got a significant upgrade in last year's phones and the telephoto in 2020. Only Huawei's pro plus phone's got 10 times super telephoto capabilities with other models maxing out at a five times optical and with the galaxy s 21 ultra, bringing some serious heat with three times and 10 times, zoom capabilities, Huawei's top end cameras will need to do something special in order to compete. The main area to build on, I think, is autofocus and low light quality with those secondary cameras.

Last year's p40 pro plus had some incredible zoom capabilities, but it struggled with hand, motion and clarity and darker scenes, especially when you compare it to the latest Samsung flagship of this year. It'll also be interesting to see how selfie performance is balanced, with the move to a single front-facing camera. This time around in terms of processing power, we'd expect the p50 series to be powered by the same homegrown Karin 9000 chipsets, as the mate 40. Even though Huawei is sitting on an apparently very finite supply of these chips as us restrictions, stop it from manufacturing any more of them. Other core specs remain to be seen and there haven't been any reliable leaks yet on ram storage or battery capacity.

Huawei has been relatively conservative when it comes to all three in the p series in recent years, instead choosing to compete on price and photographic prowess. At the very least, we should probably expect the same 66 watts superfast wired charging, the debut in the mate 40 pro, along with a likely bump up to 120 hertz display in line with current android flagships, but we may need to wait a little longer than you might think for the Huawei, p50 and p50 pro, even though the p40 series is now more than a year old, according to reliable Huawei, leaker, rodent 950, the devices are set to break cover in late June. The p50 pro plus, which, if history is any indicator, may be the only model to offer that covered at 10 times. Super super zoom may also be delayed further into the summer according to the same tipster. So would you be tempted by the Huawei p50 pro and its possibly revolutionary camera hardware, or would you be put off by the lack of google compatibility and potential app difficulties?
