The Huawei P50 collection is now official

After months of waiting and a few weeks and months of delays, Huawei finally unveiled the next generation of the Huawei P50 series at its Huawei P50 launch event. The new devices come with a round camera module, as we have already seen in Leaks, and are equipped with the X chipset.

At today’s Huawei P50 launch event, Huawei unveiled two devices, the Huawei P50 and the Huawei P50 Pro flagship. The event started with a first look at some of the iconic devices from the past, including the company’s P9, P10, P20, P30 and P40 series.

Both the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro support 66W fast wired charging and have stereo speakers. However, only the P50 Pro supports Huawei’s own 50W wireless charging technology. The smartphones are also IP68 certified to withstand water and dust. Unfortunately, the rumors turned out to be true, and none of the devices support 5G; Therefore, both are only limited to 4G, 3G and 2G.
