Huawei's flagship P50 Pro and folding P50 Pocket launch globally, but without one key feature
Snapdragon 888 + US sanctions = 4G only
Huawei once used to be among the top smartphone players worldwide in terms of sales, though the US sanctions have hit the brand pretty hard. But, the Chinese tech giant still ships some of its smartphones outside its home country, and it has just announced the global launch of the P50 Pro and P50 Pocket. According to Huawei, the smartphones will be available in “key markets across Asia Pacific, The Middle East & Africa, Europe and Latin America.”
Huawei P50 and P50 Pro are official, and officially have the weirdest-looking cameras you've ever seen
No 5G, no Google apps, and probably no chance it will turn Huawei's future around
Huawei's repeatedly leaked P50 series has been formally announced. As you'd probably figure, these still don't come with Google apps or the Play Store, making them a total non-starter for most folks, but die-hard Huawei fans willing to get their apps elsewhere (I presume such people exist) can celebrate the release of the latest flagship lineup, gargantuan pair of camera bumps and all.
Huawei may not be selling its phones in the United States again anytime soon, but it has yet to throw in the towel on Android phones. Over the last several months, we've seen several leaks from the company that put its next flagship phone on full display. Although we still don't know when the successor to last year's P40 series might arrive, a new leak gives us some hints about what we can expect from the device — and its enormous camera bump.
Huawei may be in trouble due to the trade restrictions imposed by the US, but the company is still doing its best to create enticing new products. After we got a first glimpse at the upcoming P50 Pro flagship on New Year's Eve 2020, renowned leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (better known as @OnLeaks) is back with more renders that give us a way better idea of what the device will look like — prepare for an absolute unit of a camera bump.
Huawei has spent the past year struggling to produce new products, after most of its component supplies were cut off by trade sanctions from the United States. Even though the company just sold off its Honor sub-division and hasn't quite finished its HarmonyOS Android fork, Huawei is pushing forward with a new flagship phone.
