HUAWEI Consumer Business Group has announced the launch of the latest member of the flagship Mate series, the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro and celebrates the fourth anniversary of the HUAWEI AppGallery in South Africa. The HUAWEI Mate50 Pro is equipped with a variety of cutting-edge technologies, breaking new ground, and expanding the scope of what users can expect from a smartphone.
Among its industry-first features, the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro also packs the Ultra Aperture XMAGE Camera, which features a 10-scale adjustable physical aperture and the most versatile photography capabilities ever seen on a HUAWEI Mate smartphone. In terms of performance, the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro is coated with the reliable “Kunlun Glass”, which increases the drop resistance by 10 times. The design of the smartphone represents a major step forward in smartphone aesthetics, thanks to the symmetrical Space Ring Design.
Future features that improve performance and user experience
HUAWEI “Kunlun Glass” consists of 10 quadrillion-level nanocrystals, the result of composite ion reinforcement, which makes it more resilient and drop-resistant as verified by the first five-star glass drop-resistance certification from SGS Switzerland. This makes the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro model the first smartphone to receive this certification. The smartphone supports water resistance with an IP68 rating up to six meters underwater, so it can easily handle wet and dusty environments.
The display of the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro provides a window into a crystal-clear world. Combined with the P3’s wide color gamut, fine-tuned colors are calibrated to ensure absolute authenticity. The smartphone is equipped with a HUAWEI FullView Display of 6.74 inches, a screen resolution of 2616 x 1212 pixels and a high refresh rate of 120Hz and 1440Hz PWM dimming, to reduce flickering and reduce eye fatigue.
In addition, HUAWEI Mate50 Pro packs a 4700 mAh battery in a slim body. It offers HUAWEI SuperCharge 66W and 50W HUAWEI SuperCharge wireless fast charging solutions to create an optimal balance between battery life, fast charging and portability. In addition, with the innovative low battery Emergency Mode that activates when the battery level drops to 1%, SuperEnergy Boosting allows the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro to extend its standby time to three hours or 12 minutes of call time.
The SuperStorage feature removes duplicate files invisibly and compresses infrequently used applications. This preserves up to 20GB of space (on phones with 256GB ROM), leaving more room for the abundance of photos and videos that the user is currently taking.
XMAGE Ultra Aperture Camera
HUAWEI launched its own mobile imaging brand “XMAGE” in 2022, aiming to offer a new shooting paradigm that combines science with culture and aesthetics with technology, for a better shooting experience. The HUAWEI Mate50 Pro features an advanced Ultra Aperture XMAGE camera with an adjustable 10-size physical aperture, which combines major advances in optical systems, mechanical structures, imaging technology and image processing. Smart Aperture adjusts to match the aperture size to the scene and shooting scenario identified in Auto mode. Switching to Professional mode allows you to manually adjust the depth of field and blur level.
In addition, the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro has deeply embedded advanced hardware and algorithms to improve static images. The Ultra Aperture camera is equipped with a large aperture of F1.4, can be used with the XD Fusion Pro image engine and high light intake to adjust the image brightness, light and shadow details, as well as contrast cold and warm for perfection.
Portrait mode uses natural background blur to make the subject stand out from its surroundings. Night mode captures photos with very bright and dark areas, even in dimly lit environments. The periscope telephoto camera supports a zoom range of up to 200x, bringing the scene from the largest to the right in front of your eyes.
The wide-angle macro camera zooms in on the details of the tiny world, displaying millimeter-level strands and dewdrops with incredible clarity. HUAWEI Mate50 Pro also supports macro video shooting and macro picture-in-picture (PiP) to accurately convey the scene.
