Huawei to release P50 Pro and P50 Pocket smartphones outside of China

In the summer of 2021, the presentation of the flagships Huawei P50 and P50 Pro took place in China . But only now the date of the world premiere of this line has been announced. The upcoming debut was announced by the Malaysian office of Huawei in its Twitter account @HuaweiMobileMY.

A post on the official page invites users to “tune in for January 12, 2022 and welcome the Huawei P50 Pro and the fresh foldable Huawei P50 Pocket smartphone.”

That is, only the Pro edition will be sent to the global market, while some changes will be made to it. In particular, the proprietary Kirin 9000 chip will give way to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G single-chip system (US sanctions prohibit the Chinese company from using a processor with a 5G modem). In addition, EMUI 12 firmware will be used instead of the proprietary HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system.

Also on January 12, the global launch of the Huawei P50 Pocket smartphone on the Snapdragon 888 4G chip will take place . This unit is equipped with a 6.9-inch foldable OLED screen with a resolution of 2790 x 1188 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
