Additionally, it is equipped with a 4360mAh battery with support for 66W wired Huawei SuperCharge and 50W wireless Huawei SuperCharge.
As part of the P-series, it continues the legacy of the series as an excellent choice for smartphone photographers. Around the back, it is comprised of a 50MP True-Chroma Camera for color, a 40MP True-Chroma Camera for monochrome, a 13MP Ultra-wide angle lens, and a 64MP telephoto sensor. Meanwhile, upfront, it has a 13MP camera.
The lenses coupled with the Huawei XD Optics and Huawei XD Fusion Pro Engine is said to deliver True to Life imagery with greater clarity and high-dynamic range.
Huawei P50 Pocket
