Huawei to launch new Mate 50 series feature on December 21
Today, Huawei announced a new trailer for the Mate 50 series and it seems that the company will launch a new technological feature for this flagship phone.
The trailer is themed “Mate Returning to the moon”, which could be a moon-themed film shot with the Huawei Mate 50 series. According to the details, the revelation will happen on December 21 at 9 AM (China time).
Currently, we cannot confirm anything about the Huawei Mate 50 feature but at the end of the trailer, the company promises to bring us something new. Similarly, Huawei promoted Mate 20 series and launched the smartphone with ultra-high-quality photography features.
New Moon Mode?
Since it’s related to the moon, would that be a new moon mode or something similar to capture far-distance objects? Yes, it could be but we’ll have to wait a few days to get an answer.

Huawei Mate 50 series:
Huawei Mate 50 series consist of three models – Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS. These phones are packed with a new camera system and XMAGE imaging system.
The phone lineup is powered by an ultra aperture camera with an f/1.4 aperture large sensor, adjustable physical aperture of 10 sizes, super night mode, professional portrait, and more.
In terms of specs, Huawei Mate 50 Pro brings a 50 MP Ultra Aperture Camera (F1.4 – F4.0 aperture, OIS), 13 MP Ultra-Wide Angle Camera (F2.2 aperture), and 64 MP Telephoto Camera (F3.5 aperture, OIS).
Other than quality, the phone could achieve massive zoom via its periscope camera. That’s not it, Huawei already has a moon mode powered by this telephoto cam.
Furthermore, the Huawei Mate 50 series boasts a large 6.74-inch screen with 1.07 billion colors, an OLED panel, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a 300Hz touch sampling rate.
Huawei Mate 50 devices are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with octa-core architecture (Octa-core, 1 × Cortex-X2 at 3.2 GHz + 3 × Cortex-A710 at 2.75 GHz + 4 × Cortex-A510 at 2.0 GHz). It offers a 4700mAh battery that could recharge with a 66W superfast charger.
Global consumers are excited about the next Huawei smartphones and the company said it will continue to operate in the global market with smartphones and other new products.
Huawei Consumer Business Group COO, He Gang said that Huawei will keep releasing new smartphones, smartwatches, PCs, audio, and other smart products for global consumers.
The latest comment from the COO came during a media interview after the launch of the Huawei P60 series smartphones. He Gang also said that Huawei launched the latest flagship in Spring, which means its products are returning to normal and it’s good news for everyone.
Delayed in the past:
After the U.S. sanctions, Huawei was restricted from purchasing the required hardware technologies to build new smartphones and other devices. The low yield leads to the market share drop.
That’s why Huawei only launched one flagship, P50 Pro in 2021. The phone made it to the global market 6 months after in the first quarter of 2022. On the other hand, the last year’s Huawei Mate 50 Pro made its way to global consumers within 2 months.
These phones were launched without Google Mobile Services (GMS) and Play Store. Therefore, the sales volume in the overseas market remained invisible due to the GMS requirements. Another factor that hit Huawei phones is 5G connectivity. Still, Huawei managed to fill these downsides with new features and powerful camera technologies.
Aside from smartphones, Hauwei is continuously launching new smartwatches and earbuds devices for global customers and it has only increased.
According to the information, Huawei already announced Huawei P60 series will launch on May 9th in Munich and will be accompanied by Huawei Mate X3 and other products.
Huawei first launched satellite communication technology with the Huawei Mate 50 series and the company may not upgrade this phone to second-gen satellite features.
Huawei CBG COO, He Gang gave us the answer that the eligibility to upgrade over second generation satellite is related to the phone’s performance. He may be talking about the hardware as the new devices equip better antennas.
He further added that the company has no current plans to upgrade Huawei Mate 50 and Mate Xs 2 to second-gen satellite communication. However, there is more reason that he mentioned in this matter.
Now the Beidou satellite communication is in the public testing stage, about 30 free sending and receiving are provided every month, and many friends are wondering how long this policy will last. If commercial, what is the approximate price?
He gange said that Huawei is not an operator and cannot operate this satellite communication business. The current state of technology is in the stage of crowd-testing.
This includes testing with multiple organizations and providing such a free service to everyone in the way of crowd testing.
As for the commercial price, how to operate in the future will still be only decided by the operators and not by Huawei. The Huawei COO emphasized that Huawei is actively participating to cultivate a better tech industry and crowd-testing technologies. This will lead to the better of future organizations and achieve technological breakthroughs.
Second-gen satellite:
Huawei P60 series, Mate X3, and Watch Ultimate are equipped with second-generation satellite communication. This allows the users to send and receive an emergency SMS via satellite without a mobile network. However, the first-gen tech only allows one-way SMS.
Huawei P60 and Mate X3 are packed with top-notch hardware specs and it’s revealed that China’s BYD electronics made key components of these flagship phones including the frame and the rear cover.
According to the information, BYD electronics has been confirmed to make the lightweight and stylish frame for the Huawei P60 series and Mate X3 foldable phone.
Specifically, BYD made some extra efforts for the Huawei Mate X3, the company has come up with the slimmest and lightest frame, which sets a new record for weight reduction in any foldable smartphone.
Notably, BYD uses aviation-grade wing aluminum to create a light and thin foldable frame in the industry. The entire thickness of the middle frame is only 0.3mm.
On the other hand, the weight of two middle frame parts only weighs 38 grams, which is equivalent to the ordinary smartphone frame. However, the contribution of this component is crucial in reducing the weight of the entire smartphone.
Furthermore, BYD has continuously tested the hinge with the frame to ensure its stability and reliability with the waterproof ratings.
Looking at the design, BYD brought up the new fingerprint-proof rear panel, which comprises both a glass and frost feeling. The new design reflects an Ambilight effect from multiple angles when it comes in the contact with light.
To create such a design, the BYD Electronics development team formulated a verification plan for product characteristics. It uses the evaporation coating solution to successfully achieve color and performance.
BYD Electronic Company Limited is a Chinese company manufacturing handset components and assembling mobile phones for its customers. The company has also designed equipment for previous flagship devices such as Huawei Mate 50 and P50 Pro.
