Huawei’s launch schedule has gotten erratic, but the company has confirmed that it plans to eventually launch the Mate 50 series. The latest leak on the subject shows renders for the top three phones and a new tablet, as well as a collection of specifications. Note that these are highly speculative and may prove to be wishful thinking.
The Huawei Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS are listed with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip (instead of the Snapdragon 888), although still limited to 4G connectivity only. The Pro model will likely have a way around the fact that with a 5G case, similar to that of the P50 Pro, the RS will have a similar solution. The Pro and RS models will pack 12GB of RAM and 28/256 / 512GB of storage, the vanilla Mate 50 will drop to 8GB of RAM and 128 / 256GB of storage.

The phones will also reportedly feature a HiSilicon NPU for XMAGE processing, an in-house replacement for camera technology co-developed with Leica.
Speaking of the camera, it is said to have a switchable aperture – f / 1.4 and f / 4 – for the 50MP main cam. On the Mate 50 Pro and Mate 50 RS it should be an IMX800, on the vanilla model it should be the IMX766 instead. All three models are expected to have a telephoto lens, but its specs are unclear, the same goes for the ultra wide angle. As for the selfie camera, it will be a 13MP unit with a 3D sensor for facial unlocking on the Pro and RS models.
All three phones are expected to use 66W fast charging for 4,500mAh batteries on the Pro and RS (plus wireless charging), 4,400mAh on the vanilla model.

The Mate 50 trio will have AMOLED displays made by BOE, according to rumors. Pro and RS presumably will have 6.78 “120Hz (1,212 x 2,612px) curved LTPO displays, the vanilla model a flat 90Hz LTPS display (1,225 x 2,800px, dimensions are not entirely clear).
The Huawei 50 RS model will have a ceramic body as its main strength, the other two will feature a sandwich structure in metal and glass.
The specs that are rumored include a fourth model, the Huawei Mate 50E, which is similar to the vanilla model, except that it will use the Snapdragon 778G chipset (again limited to 4G connectivity).
The leak also shows a Huawei MatePad Pro 12.4 “, a larger version of the July 11” MatePad Pro. There are few specifics for this, but a picture shows the launch date – September 7, sale 9 – and the prices. It starts at CNY 4,000 ($ 590 / € 580 / ₹ 47,000) for a 128GB Wi-Fi model (11-inch list starts at CNY 3,300). The only specs listed in the image describe a 12.4 “(120Hz, 1,000 nit) OLED display, a 4.9mm thin frame, and” 200+ PC apps “(this may be a new HarmonyOS feature ).
Details leaked on Huawei MatePad Pro 12.4 “.
It is unclear which chipset will be used for this, but it is split into a base model and a Performance Edition. The 11 “Pro had two versions: one with a Snapdragon 888 and one with an 870, we will probably see something similar with the 12.4” tablet. The third version listed comes with wireless connectivity, 4G only if we had to guess.
Will Huawei unveil the Mate 50 series alongside the MatePad Pro 12.4 ”next month? It’s possible, but there have been relatively few Mates leaks so far, so it’s far from guaranteed. Again, all of this information could prove unreliable – we’ll get a better idea of its validity in September when we see if the MatePad details are confirmed.
