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 P50 leak shows the same massive camera bump as its Pro bro
The phone is allegedly using a huge 1-inch Sony sensor
Yesterday we had our first look at the Huawei P50 Pro. Following close behind is the P50, sans Pro modifier, with a very similar set of leaks. According to the images, this presumably cheaper variant ditches the curved screen panel and has slightly thicker screen bezels. The distinctive giant camera module, with two bulbous lenses, remains in place.
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.
