In July this year, Huawei finally released the P50 series, which was supposed to hit the market at the beginning of the year. However, due to U.S. sanctions, 5G-related components are still strictly blocked and can only carry 4G chips.
Since the P50 was released just two months ago, the Mate 50 series, which was supposed to be released in the second half of the year, will inevitably be delayed. Although the official has not announced any news, some news about this phone has been leaked.
This afternoon, well-known blogger Digital Chat Station brought the latest news about this phone. He said, “Q1 business flagship phone is testing SD898 4G, model number seems to be sm8425”.
Although the blogger didn’t point out that this is the Huawei Mate 50 series, according to the “business flagship phone” and the 4G chip, it is confirmed that the device is the Huawei Mate 50.
This news also means that the Huawei Mate 50 could come with the Snapdragon 898. The release of the phone will not be delayed until this year, and its performance will be significantly improved. Although the phone will have a Snapdragon 898 4G chip, the performance should be exactly the same as the Snapdragon 898 G5.
According to previous news, the Snapdragon 898 will be based on Samsung’s 4nm process and three-cluster architecture. The super core is the Cortex-X2, the large core is the Cortex-A710, and the small core is the Cortex-A510. They are all new designs under ARMv9 64-bit systems.
