Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, has been at the hub of several controversies which is crippling its smartphone business. Presently, Huawei can not use American technologies that have any relationship with 5G. The company can not also use the complete Android suit. This makes it difficult for Huawei to release flagships with global appeal. However, the company has since said that it will not give up on its smartphone business. According to Huawei, it is not competing in the smartphone market, it is only just trying to survive. About three months ago, the company unveiled its latest flagship, the Huawei P50 series. After the launch of this series, there were reports that we will not see another flagship from Huawei this year. However, we now have a report relating to the Huawei Mate 50 Pro.
According to David Naranjo, a senior expert from DSCC, the Huawei Mate 50 Pro is in development. The report further claims that this flagship smartphone is still planned for the fourth quarter of this year. As of now, the speculations points to an October launch date. However, this is only a professional speculation based on industry sources. Considering the irregularities and uncertainties surrounding Huawei presently, we can not be too sure of any unofficial report.
