Let's unbox the Huawei Mate 50 Pro and see what's inside!

Similar to its 'sibling' Huawei Mate 50, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro version is still housed in a predominantly black box, combined with yellow-printed text, creating an overall elegant and mysterious package. The back of the box provides all the basic information about the device for users.

Inside the packaging, alongside the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, you'll find all the essential accessories such as a 66W fast charger, USB Type-C charging cable, Silicon protective case, user manual, and SIM ejector tool. Overall, Huawei provides users with a complete set of accompanying accessories, allowing you to use them right away without the need to spend additional time searching for external items.

Hands-On with Huawei Mate 50 Pro: Elegant Design, Notch Display

Firstly, let's talk about the design of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, which is quite familiar, maintaining the rectangular shape that the brand has been using for a long time. Additionally, the rounded curved steel frame provides a comfortable grip. Moreover, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro weighs only about 209 grams, striking a balance between not being too heavy or too light, resulting in a solid feel in hand.

For those interested in Huawei's products, especially the Mate series on phones, the iconic circular camera cluster in the middle of the back immediately comes to mind. This year, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro follows suit, but the camera module on the phone has an added steel border, providing a slightly more robust feel compared to its predecessor, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro.

In my hands is the black variant of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro made of leather. The back surface is excellently finished, with no noticeable bulging. Additionally, the leather back minimizes sweat and fingerprint marks, helping users maintain the premium appearance of the product.

The positioning of the connectivity ports and physical buttons on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is quite familiar, making it easy for users to get accustomed quickly. Check out some images below for the most accurate perspective!

Turning to the front, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro surprisingly adopts a 'notch' display instead of the 'waterdrop' notch seen on the Huawei Mate 50 or Huawei Mate 40 Pro. Additionally, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro still features a curved edge display, making the overall device extremely 'alluring.' As for the notch, it houses the new specialized sensor from the brand, and users can easily conceal it using the built-in settings.

The Huawei Mate 50 Pro is equipped with a 6.74-inch OLED display with a 2K resolution. In my assessment, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro will provide users with a visually stunning experience, offering high detail, sharp display, true-to-life colors, and deep blacks, enhancing the vividness of visuals. Especially with the Harmony OS operating system, tasks are executed smoothly, and the 120Hz refresh rate adds a delightful touch to your swipes and touches.

Behold the powerful and distinctive configuration of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G

Before delving into specifics, let's summarize the configuration details of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro!

• Display: 6.74-inch size, OLED panel, 2K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate. 
• Processor: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G.
• RAM: 8 GB. 
• Internal Storage: 256 GB or 512 GB, expandable up to 256 GB with MicroSD card. 
• Rear Cameras: 50 MP + 13 MP + 12 MP.
• Front Camera: 13 MP.
• Battery Capacity: 4,460 mAh, 66W fast charging, 50W fast wireless charging.

As evident, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro comes equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor from Qualcomm, but in the 4G variant. Essentially, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G doesn't differ much from the 5G version, still boasting an Octa-core setup, 1 × [email protected] GHz + 3 × [email protected] GHz + 4 × [email protected] GHz but without the 5G core. In my opinion, avoiding the additional 5G core allows this chip more room to unleash the true potential of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 without encountering excessive heat.

Furthermore, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro boasts 8 GB of RAM, a figure that excels in supporting multitasking and minimizing lag. Alongside, internal storage options of 256 GB and 512 GB, coupled with the ability to expand memory up to 256 GB via MicroSD card, offer ample space for multitasking and storing numerous games and applications.

In addition, the battery capacity of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is 4,460 mAh, a figure considered not particularly outstanding in today's market. However, with the cool, stable performance from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G chip, I believe the Huawei Mate 50 Pro can accompany you throughout a long workday or even longer, depending on your usage patterns! Furthermore, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro supports 66W fast charging, 50W fast wireless charging, impressive figures that optimize your charging time and minimize waiting periods.

Huawei Mate 50 Pro captures authentic and sharp photos with a 50 MP resolution

Additionally, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is equipped with an impressive camera system with the following specifications:

• Main Camera: 50 MP resolution, aperture f/1.4 ~ f/0.4
• Ultra-Wide Camera: 13 MP resolution, aperture f/2.2.
• Telephoto Camera: 12 MP resolution, aperture f/3, OIS stabilization.

The Huawei P30 Series was extremely popular back in 2017 due to its outstanding camera capabilities, marking the successful collaboration between Huawei and Leica. However, due to certain reasons, Huawei and Leica officially 'parted ways.' Nevertheless, this hasn't significantly affected the image quality on Huawei devices.

Specifically, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is equipped with a new camera system called XMAGE. With XMAGE, the Huawei Mate 50 allows you to capture brilliance both day and night. The lens can automatically adjust the aperture to meet the demands of any moment, and the professional mode offers 10 different aperture sizes for you to choose from. According to a quick review by the YouTube channel 科技美学, the image quality is excellent, capturing sharp details comparable to other high-end phones.

Summary

The Huawei Mate 50 Pro stands out with its special features, including the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G configuration, high-quality camera, and extremely elegant design.
