THE game-changer Huawei P50 Pro has finally arrived, offering one of the best cameras in the segment and top-notch specs that many potential buyers cannot ignore.
The phone was regionally launched during an event in Riyadh alongside Huawei P50 Pocket – the latest foldable phone making heads turn globally to the latest offering by the Chinese tech giant.
The flagship P50 Pro is slim (weighs 195g) and looks high end to hold with a solid processing speed, battery life and a Dual-Matrix Camera system which delivers ‘True to Life’ imagery with extreme clarity on the 6.6-inch curved glass display.
The device with its bold design is the best camera phones out there right now and features three cameras – 50MP, 12MP and 13MP – while the front “selfie camera” 13MP and can shoot 4K videos.
It also supports an unprecedented 200-times zoom range, helping users capture any object regardless of distance.
I shot some 4K recording and used different options including the all-new AIS Pro image stabilisation solution which helps users easily capture stable handheld videos.
The device based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and our review device had 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
Huawei’s latest update to their Android phones is the EMUI 12 operating system which is pretty decent with comfortable navigating or switching between applications.
The company has worked hard in a short span of time and developed its own Huawei mobile services and ecosystem. Users can enjoy over 187K apps via AppGallery; in addition to Huawei Music, Huawei Videos, Huawei Cloud, Huawei Super Device connectivity and many more.
“We are glad to bring the new Huawei P50 Pro and Huawei P50 Pocket to our users in the region as we remain committed to the pursuit of the best quality, aesthetics and photography experiences,” said Huawei Consumer Business Group – Middle East and Africa president Pablo Ning.
The phone speakers are good though you won’t find the 3.5mm headphone jack on the device – a trend that many smartphone companies are slowly following, a C-type headphone creates the same magic.
The refreshing display coupled with multitasking is a breeze whether its listening to music on, browsing, taking images or viewing your Facebook or Instagram profile or watching Netflix.
Controlling multiple devices at once is as easy as controlling just one single device, thanks to the Super Device features.
The Device+ tab in Control Panel enables users to easily control or set up multi-device collaboration with other devices.
Overall, with the key details and functions the phone is a winner and what’s more it comes with a free silicone cover that fits in perfectly without adding extra bulk to the device.
So here is our verdict: Huawei has done a great job to replace GMS making it the best phone choice out there right now without a doubt in this segment.
The P50 Pro is available in two premium finishes – Cocoa Gold and Golden Black – in Bahrain priced at BD439.9 with gifts worth BD190.3.
