Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, has been struggling with its supply chain since the ban by the U.S. government. The ban is almost crippling the company’s smartphone business. However, the company claims that it will neither give up on nor sell its smartphone business. Today, popular Weibo leakster @DCS revealed that the “Huawei Mate 50 series has made a major breakthrough in supply, and the future will be as expected.”
Unfortunately, the blogger did not reveal the breakthrough that the Huawei Mate 50 series has achieved. Thus, it is impossible to determine if the latest information is true or false. However, putting a few pieces together from previous information, the design of the Mate 50 series should be complete. The only issue that this smartphone should be facing is would be the supply chain.
However, under the hood, there are reports that the Huawei Mate 50 series will come with Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship processor. This means that the Huawei Mate 5o series would use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 SoC. Nevertheless, don’t get your hopes too high, this chip will support only 4G network. This smartphone will use an exclusive Snapdragon 898 4G SoC.
