Editorial report
Huawei P50 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Huawei P50 suits anyone looking for a premium phone with a sharp OLED display and versatile cameras. Its main trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the P50 is also sold with 256 GB. Its NeoScore is 6.6, and overall it stands better than most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.5-inch display has a pixel density of 458 ppi, among the highest of its time, and an 88% screen-to-body ratio, better than most. Its 90 Hz refresh rate is typical. For photography, 5x optical zoom is among the highest of its time, and the main camera's 1/1.55-inch sensor is larger than those in most phones; the cameras overall are among the best. The hardware also stands better than most, with an AnTuTu score of 887,900 among the highest. The 4100 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 66 W fast charging is better than most phones of its time. It has no Google Services, a significant limitation for anyone who relies on them. HarmonyOS 2, IP68 protection, wireless charging and stereo speakers round out the feature set. The Huawei P50 is a strong fit for people who prioritize the display and cameras, provided they can do without Google Services and accept its relatively small battery.
