Editorial report

Huawei Mate 50 8 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet

The Huawei Mate 50 suits buyers who prioritize photography and fast charging. Its main trade-offs are a 90 Hz display, a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time, and a weight of 206 g, heavier than most contemporaries.

The 6.7-inch AMOLED display has a pixel density of 442 ppi, among the highest of its time, although its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than on most phones launched around the same time. For photography, the f/1.4 aperture is among the brightest of its time, and the camera includes optical image stabilization. A telephoto camera adds 5x optical zoom, also among the longest of the period. Video recording reaches 4K at 60 fps, while slow motion goes up to 960 fps.

Its hardware performs better than that of most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu result of 1,414,047 is among the highest. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The 4,460 mAh battery has less capacity than most, but 66 W wired charging is better than most, and 50 W wireless charging is among the fastest of its time.

This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, and storage is expandable. The phone is also sold in configurations ranging from 8 GB / 128 GB to 8 GB / 512 GB. With an overall NeoScore of 7.6, the Mate 50 is a compelling choice for buyers who value its camera capabilities and wireless charging more than a higher refresh rate, lighter build, or larger battery capacity.
