Huawei Mate 50 Pro review

Amazing camera technology and beautiful design can't save the Mate 50 Pro from Android obscurity

Gorgeous design ; Superlative cameras ; Excellent screen

No native Google support ; Awkward AppGallery ; No 5G

Beautiful design and very good cameras make the Huawei Mate 50 Pro one of the most frustrating smartphones of 2022 thanks to a lack of 5G and official Google app and services support.

Huawei Mate 50 Pro review: all about aperture

Some seriously clever cameras put the Huawei Mate 50 Pro near the forefront of smartphone photography - but there are software pitfalls

Versatile cameras deliver outstanding image quality ; Flagship-grade performance ; Great battery life and speedy wired/wireless charging

Seriously premium price ; Can’t overlook lack of Google services

Some the greatest cameras you’ll find on a smartphone today, and true flagship performance, but European success depends on customers being able to live without Google.

Huawei Mate 50 Pro review

The Huawei Mate 50 series debuted in September with four Mates hitting the shelves in China - Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, Mate 50E and Mate 50 RS Porsche...

Sleek design, leather back, Kunlun glass, IP68-rated.

Expensive at launch.

Huawei being the black sheep of the smartphone market means the Mate 50 Pro doesn't stand a chance of selling millions of units in Europe. Some users willing to steer away from Google will be glad that it's available, but most will just ignore it. But...

Huawei Mate 50 Pro Review: Picture Perfect

Even though Google Services are nowhere to be found on this phone, the Mate 50 Pro more than makes up for it with its amazing camera system, great AMOLED display and fast charging magics.

Bright and crisp AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ ; Variable aperture main camera (f/1.4-f/4.0) ; Telephoto periscope lens with 3.5x optical, 10x hybrid zoom ; Snappy Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 performance ; 66W wired/50W wireless fast charging...

No Google Mobile Services ; No 5G ; Expensive

Huawei Mate 50 Pro review: The best smartphone you either can't buy or probably won't buy

It's an excellent flagship phone with a class-leading camera system, but lack of Google Mobile Services and 5G will hamper the Mate 50 Pro's prospects outside China.

Smart design, solid build quality ; Excellent 120Hz OLED screen ; Innovative and very effective camera system ; High-end chipset delivers good performance ; IP68 dust/water resistance

No Google Mobile Services ; No 5G ; Durable Kunlun glass on Orange version only ; Expensive

The bottom line as regards Huawei's Mate 50 Pro is a familiar refrain: great phone, shame about the lack of Google Mobile Services and 5G. In this case it's a double shame, because with GMS and 5G, the Mate 50 Pro would rival the best on offer from...

Huawei Mate 50 Pro review: Impossible to recommend

In this review of the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, I give you my opinion on the latest flagship of the Chinese manufacturer still deprived of Google services (GMS).

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is still fast enough ; High end display ; Very good camera quality ; Variable aperture

No 5G support ; No Google Play Store ; No Google Mobile Services ; No analog audio jack ; No microSD card support (only NM card)

The Huawei Mate 50 Pro is an excellent camera smartphone, most certainly among the best on the market in 2023. But I really can't recommend buying it. It would be dishonest to sequence my user experience like that. A smartphone is not just a camera...
