On January 20, Weibo blogger @Wangzai Bestway said that the Huawei P50, which has been out of stock for a long time, may be ready to launch a 5G version of the Smart Selection series, which may be able to meet the needs of a wave of users who want to buy 5G "Huawei" mobile phones. At present, huawei mall shows that the Huawei P50 shows a status of "not for sale", but the P50 Pro is still on normal sale.
Affected by the sanctions, Huawei's 5G mobile phone business has been hit hard, kirin chips cannot be produced, and the necessary RF chips for 5G have not been used. The P50 series released last year is undoubtedly a product with a superior feel and comprehensive configuration, but it does not support 5G, which has also brought a lot of blows to consumers.
This customized version of the 5G-enabled "P50" is still unclear which manufacturer produces it, but Xiaolei is expected to be Dingqiao, which suddenly caught fire some time ago. In terms of configuration, in addition to 5G, the hardware parameters of the customized P50 should not be too different, such as 90Hz OLED screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 50 million pixel main camera, 5x optical zoom periscope and so on.
It should be known that these mobile phones are equivalent to Huawei's authorization to other companies to produce, can support 5G, but the system is likely to be based on the EMUI modified Android system, rather than the rave reviews of Harmony OS, which is still a pity, but also to provide users with a choice of opportunities.
In addition to the P50, Dingqiao also has a mobile phone that is almost the same as the Huawei Mate 40, the name is M40, supporting 5G at the same time, it will also be equipped with kirin 9000 series processors, as for when to launch, it is also unknown, and it seems that the number is not much.
Of course, although these 5G-supported "Huawei-based" mobile phones are quite attractive, they are not strictly speaking, they are not the mobile phones launched by Huawei, and without Huawei's brand identity, consumers may even treat these products as "copycat machines". In addition, Dingqiao, China Post, the launch of the product is not clear whether it can share the after-sales with Huawei mobile phones, enjoy perfect software maintenance, if not, these products are actually slightly embarrassing.
Huawei has spent so much effort to launch a 5G mobile phone that has a relationship with itself, which is already quite an easy thing, and it can also be seen that the company's insistence on the mobile phone business. Xiao Lei previously learned that domestic 5G RF chips have already had mass production signals, and I believe that in a few years, Huawei will be able to break through the foreign blockade and create 5G mobile phones.
