Although they say that for Huawei Mate 50 or Huawei Mate 40E Pro they could save a batch of proprietary Kirin 9000L chips with support for fifth-generation networks.
The fact that the company is preparing to release a series of Huawei Mate 50 is also indicated by a picture of a protective glass, which, according to the source, will cover the screen of the flagship Huawei Mate 50 Pro. If so, then Huawei continues to bet on the notch and the front panel will be here from the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The smartphone will receive a notch where the front camera and auxiliary sensors will be built.
