Huawei’s anticipated P50 series is almost here.
Huawei will soon be launching its brand-new flagship smartphone and its very first horizontally folding smartphone in South Africa. Huawei fans, get ready to welcome the Huawei P50 Pro and Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition. Here’s a sneak preview of what you can expect from these new devices:
Huawei P50 Pro
The Huawei P50 Pro is the brand’s new flagship smartphone, and true to form, the high-end device promises to deliver an exemplary experience on the camera front. The device boasts a True-Form Dual-Matrix camera supported by XD Fusion Pro, an imaging solution that incorporates a new super colour filter system, a True-Chroma image engine and super HDR technology to significantly improve detail, colour and dynamic range.
What’s more, the Huawei P50 Pro supports an unprecedented 100x zoom with a total zoom range of up to 200x when used in conjunction with the wide-angle and periscope lens, helping you photograph any object at any distance.
The Huawei P50 Pro also has a 3D True-Chroma 6.6-inch curved glass display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Plus, at just 8.5mm, the device is also remarkably slim. The device also houses a 4360mAh battery with fast charging capabilities, and supports both 66W Huawei SuperCharge and 50W Wireless Huawei SuperCharge.
Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition
Huawei’s first horizontally foldable smartphone, the Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition, features an all-new hinge system that folds the phone into an ultra-slim, lightweight body for great portability.
The foldable device fully supports the technology featured in the P50 Pro, including the True-Chroma image engine and Huawei XD Optics. One of its main features is the selfie camera, which uses selfie algorithms and a large camera sensor to boost low light performance, for selfies you’ll love.
When it’s folded, the device’s cover screen supports the display of notifications, schedule, calendar, music and weather, and allows you to control other features. A range of themes are also available, so you can customise your cover screen to suit your taste and style.
Both the Huawei P50 Pro and the Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition will be launching in South Africa in the coming weeks. The Huawei South Africa website hints at a pre-order date of 22 March and an official launch date, with all sales open on 1 April, 2022.
