Huawei Mate 50 series is going global

Earlier this month, Huawei debuted its new flagship series, the Mate 50. However, China naturally got first dibs before the rest of the world. Now, after a month of being exclusive, the Mate 50 series is going global. Huawei has officially announced the international release of the flagship series.

As a refresher, the series will come in two variants: the regular Mate 50 and the Mate 50 Pro. Both will come with Kunlun Glass, a screen which consists of 10 quadrillion nanocrystals and can withstand tall drops. It also uses an elegant Cloud de Paris embossing design, merging form with function.

The regular Mate 50 will sport a 6.7-inch OLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Mate 50 Pro will have a slightly larger 6.74-inch OLED screen that tops off at 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, both models will come with the new Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. They also come with Adreno 730 and the 7th-gen Qualcomm AI engine. While the regular model comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the Mate 50 Pro comes with 512GB of storage.

The Mate 50 series has a triple rear camera setup. The regular version comes with a 50-megapixel main + 13-megapixel ultra-wide + 12-megapixel telephoto combination. Meanwhile, the Pro has a 50-megapixel main + 13-megapixel ultra-wide + 64-megapixel telephoto combination. Both will have a 13-megapiel selfie shooter.

While the Mate 50 has a 4460mAh battery, the Mate 50 Pro comes with a larger 4700mAh battery. Both are compatible with Huawei’s wired and wireless SuperCharge.

The Mate 50 Pro (8GB + 256 GB) will be available in Black and Silver, retailing for EUR 1299. Meanwhile, a Leather Orange model with vegan leather retails for EUR 1399.
