Hello 120Hz, goodbye 5G
One of the great absences year after year in the best Huawei phones was the refresh rate of 120 Hz, a feature that consumes more battery but offers greater fluidity on the screen, and which is included in the best Android phones on the market .
While the P50 only offers a refresh rate of 90 Hz, the P50 Pro goes up to 120 Hz. Of course, Huawei still does not want to make the leap to WQHD + resolution.
One detail that is striking is that none of the phones comes with the ability to connect to 5G networks.
Both phones carry a Snapdragon 888 4G, this is a slightly modified version that is even a little less powerful compared to the Snapdragon 888, but which is also cheaper. In fact, Qualcomm would have worked directly with Leica to improve photography. The P50s have cameras signed by Leica.
Huge photo modules
The new photo modules in the P50s are much larger than those seen in any other phone, however, it seems that one of the focuses of these new devices is zooming.
It is striking that the P50 has a higher optical zoom than the Pro version, however, the more advanced model is the only one that has the ability to offer a digital zoom of up to 100x.
Both models continue to bet on AIS, which is Huawei’s famous artificial intelligence stabilization, and incorporate a new image engine called XD Fusion Pro to combine different images and obtain results superior to those of other phones.
