Huawei Mate 50 Pro Review
This Huawei device comes with lots of features that guarantees a better user experience. The battery charges at am impressive rate with the 66W charger package, can last for 104hours when charged to the brim.
There is no Google Mobile service on this device neither is there a 5G access , however it has an outstanding camera and a great all round multimedia device. There is a lot to like on Huawei Mate 50 Pro; from it’s thin carriage with an IP68 protection, to a durable glass and screen.
It boasts of a 6.74inches OLED and a high-res with about 1 billion colors, a 120Hz refresh rate and a HDR10+ support. This device is simply gorgeous.
It contains a selfie camera with a TOF 3D scanner for face identification. The rear camera comes with a unique lens and active variable aperture(f/1.4-f/4.0). The 13mp ultra wide camera has an auto focus and high res sensors. With all these users are assured of better photo and video quality .
It has a high end chipset based on Snapdragon 8. It’s space memory has both the 256GB internal memory space and 512GB memory space with a nano memory card slot that supports up to 256GB. It’s quite big on space. But for RAM they have only the 8GB RAM space.
It’s operating system EMUI incorporates Android 12,but unfortunately there’s no Google based services such as the Google play store.
The battery is 4700mah which is quite sad as most devices comes with 5000mah. However there is a 66W fast wired charger right out of the box that charges the device quite fast.
Only the orange version of Mate 50 Pro has a Kunlun Glass protection, blue and silver comes with tampered glass. In all Huawei Mate 50 Pro has great features and specs to make using it worthwhile.
