Huawei has officially unveiled the Mate 50 series at IFA. They are properly returning to the flagship space with the Mate 50 and Mate 50 Pro packing a Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chipsets. Although they don’t have the Leica branding anymore, the brand is equipping the range with XMAGE cameras with their main cameras having a variable aperture of f/1.4 to f/4.0.
The Huawei Mate 50e is the odd one out of the family as it is being positioned as a more “budget-friendly” alternative. It will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 chipset while still having a 6.78-inch OLED screen. It does omit the 50W Fast Wireless Charging sticking instead to 66W wired charging.
