Huawei P50 Pro - Smartphone 256GB, 8GB RAM, Dual Sim, Black

Product Information

This includes a 40MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide one which doubles up as a macro snapper, and a 32MP ‘super spectrum’ camera, which allows for fluorescent photography – capturing details that the human eye can’t ordinarily see. The Huawei P50 Pro’s large 6.6in screen supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, with a resolution of 2,700 x 1,228. By default, the P50 Pro adjusts screen resolution and refresh rate automatically depending on the application and remaining battery level, but you get the option to toggle both in the phone’s settings menu.

While it’s too early to say for sure whether you’ll soon be able to buy these phones outside of China and now Malaysia, there are lots of reasons to want them. Typical value. The Battery Rated Capacity is 4,260 mAh. Based on results from HUAWEI Lab tests. Actual battery life depends on actual usage conditions. In this case, Huawei's "dynamic" display setting switches from 1Hz to 120Hz to give you more chance of having your phone last throughout the day. Under our looped video test, on the dynamic setting, the P50 Pro's 4,360mAh battery lasted 17hrs 9mins, which is just slightly behind the OnePlus 9 Pro (17hrs and 32mins).

Smartwatch: requires a) Vodafone pay monthly Airtime plan, and b) 12 or 24 month Connectivity Plan (via Vodafone OneNumber). Watch Plans over 12 months require a 24 month Connectivity Plan. Terms apply The P50 Pro has 64MP telephoto , 50MP main, 40MP monochrome and 13MP ultra-wide cameras – that's a series of very high-res snappers, with the periscope one apparently facilitating a head-scratching 200x digital zoom (as well as 3.5x optical). There is one major way in which the Huawei P40 Pro’s chip beats the P50 Pro’s. It’s right there in the chip names: only the P40 Pro supports 5G. Low-light results from using the ultra-wide camera are relatively disappointing. Modern day flagships employ a setup where both the primary and the ultra-wide lens are of similar calibre. But in the case of the P50 Pro, the lower-resolution sensor, combined with the inconsistencies in color we’ve mentioned, make for a less-than-ideal low-light experience. Even when you want to use the ultra-wide lens for a 0.8x or 0.9x zoomed-out view, the resulting quality loss is quite noticeable. You can make up for it to a certain extent by using night-mode; however this leads to purple fringing in the resulting image.

You must have a 5G enabled device on the Vodafone 5G network, a Vodafone 5G plan and 5G coverage in the area that you are in. Coverage may be affected by a number of factors. Find out more about our 5G network For Smartwatches: lets you select a monthly Device Plan Credit Agreement (over 3-36 months) with a monthly Connectivity Plan. Watch Plans over 12 months require a 24 month Connectivity Plan. You can pay off your Device Plan early, and if you do, you can keep your Connectivity Plan on a 30-day contract or leave. If your Connectivity Plan ends, the Device Plan is still payable (either in full or monthly). Watch Plans require a Vodafone pay monthly airtime plan and a Connectivity Plan (via Vodafone OneNumber) The Huawei P50 Pro wins on charging speeds, however. With support for 66W wired, it supersedes the 40W on the P40 Pro. It’s a similar story with wireless charging, where the P50 Pro supports 50W and the P40 Pro supports 27W. Takeaway When it comes to video capture, the P50 Pro can record up to 4K video at 60fps. Both the primary wide lens and the periscope telephoto lens have optical image stabilization, (OIS) but there is no such assistance for the ultra-wide lens. Moreover, the ultra-wide lens is capped at 4K 30fps. If you’re smooth with your movements and don’t switch lenses mid-recording, the video experience from the P50 Pro camera is good. But when you want to use multiple lenses, the transitions are jagged and rough.Then there’s gaming. The game selection available in the Huawei AppGallery is poor compared to the App Store and Play Store, but when we tried one of the native AppGallery games out – Brain Test, adverts in the game directed us to the Google Play Store. This translates to around 6-7 hours of screen-on time before you need to juice up your phone. If you’re a heavy user who’s constantly online, using the GPS and taking pictures and videos, screen-on time may dip below six hours, and a recharge might be necessary before the end of the day. Maximum brightness is rather good, too, with the screen pushing out a peak luminance of 597cd/m². My only slight complaint with the P50 Pro’s screen is that peak HDR brightness is rather low – we measured the iPhone 13 Pro at 1,200 cd/m², which is almost double what the P50 Pro managed in our tests. Huawei P50 Pro review: Performance and battery life On a positive note, the P50 Pro has enough space for two nano-SIM cards, with the second SIM sharing the proprietary Nano Memory card slot, which supports up to 256GB of added storage. A USB-C port is located at the bottom of the handset, now supporting 66W wired charging (the P40 Pro was 40W), with wireless speeds increasing from 40W to 50W. Huawei P50 Pro review: Display

For those that use other Huawei hardware, such as its laptops and tablets, the P50 Pro has a new feature you might just love. This is Super Device, which is a type of Bluetooth-based screen sharing software that transports your phone's UI onto another device. Huawei P50 Pro review: Camera(s) Unsurprisingly, the P50 Pro in the UK gets the same configuration of core componentry as the Chinese version, consisting of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. There’s no Huawei-made Kirin chipset this year, which is a rather strange decision, but what’s even weirder is that this is the 4G-only Snapdragon. As with every handset Huawei has launched since the P20, we find the company has gone big when it comes to camera technology. This is largely thanks to a brilliant partnership with Leica, which never fails to impress. On the P50 Pro, there's a quad lens setup featuring a 50MP wide lens, a 64MP telephoto one, a 40MP monochrome snapper and a 13MP ultrawide lens. Both the 50MP main lens and telephoto lens offer superb, crisp detail, though the latter is best if kept to 10 x optical zoom and below. Zoom range is the maximum zoom ratio divided by the ultra wide-angle magnification. The focal lengths on HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro are 24 mm (ultra-aperture camera), 13 mm (ultra-wide angle camera), and 90 mm (telephoto camera).

With a rounded-corner design on the display, the diagonal length of the exterior screen is 6.6 inches when measured according to the standard rectangle (the actual viewable area is slightly smaller). Beyond typically top-end specs like a 6.6-inch 1228 x 2700 screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, the Huawei P50 Pro really looks to stand out with its cameras, which include a 50MP main snapper, a 13MP ultra-wide, a 40MP monochrome, and a 64MP telephoto, with 3.5x optical zoom and 200x digital zoom.
