It seems Huawei is returning. Today, the company released the new Huawei Mate 50 series of flagship phones. And we have to say that these models reached the ceiling of the Android camp.
Design
The Huawei Mate 50 series inherits the Mate’s iconic axis-symmetric star ring design. On the front, it carries a 6.7-inch OLED screen. The latter supports 2700×1224 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, 1.07 billion primary color display, HDR / HDR Vivid, and many more. Also, the phone comes with face unlock support and a fingerprint recognition scanner placed under the screen. The body weight is 202g, and the built-in battery has a 4460mAh capacity.
Apart from the vanilla version, there is also the Huawei Mate 50 Pro. It uses a 6.74-inch screen, 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz PWM dimming, 1.07 billion primary color display, HDR / HDR Vivid, supports 3D face payment, in-screen fingerprint, etc. This model is slightly heavier, 205g, and the built-in battery has a 4700mAh capacity.
The entire series supports 66W wired fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging, and 7.5W wireless reverse charging. Plus, there is an emergency mode. The energy accumulating pump can be activated intelligently under 1% low power. So the mobile phone can continue to stand by for 3 hours, or talk for 12 minutes.
Photography
After several years of accumulation, it has formed its own mobile imaging technology by building the four major technical bases of “light, machine, electricity, and computing.” At today’s event, the company announced Huawei Imaging XMAGE. It is going to make competition to other brands such as Leica.
Huawei Imaging XMAGE includes a sense of realism (natural pictures, what you see is what you get), a sense of moisturization (loyal to light and shade, strengthening the sense of light), a sense of transparency (clear details, distinct layers), and a sense of breathing (the main body is prominent, the virtual and the real have a degree).
