Huawei continues to make great devices. Huawei has taken a very good position in the tablet, watch and computer business and I guess they will return to its old days in the phone business in the next period. Huawei mate 50 pro is definitely a device that will be of interest to anyone who loves technology. I hope I will have the chance to experience it soon. Thanks for the review Chris. Hope to see comparison of mate 50 pro with next flagship devices.

Still rocking my Mate 20 Pro. What a beast that is.

My Huawei mate 20 pro still rocking 🥰🤘

Nice phone and a proper review !
Like everyone else, I would love to see Huawei get back in the mainstream.
I am still really enjoying my mate 20 x and as a matter of fact just received a b top game controller for it that I ordered from Shanghai.
👍

I really miss the kirin chip. Still using my mate 30pro n is awesome 👌🏽

A solid flagship offering from Huawei indeed! 👍For me the lack of 5g is not a deal breaker at all. I have no true 5g network and will not be any time soon. I love how Huawei keeps pushing forward in terms of innovation. That variable mechanical aperture on the main camera is next level! All that being said, although the notch allows for 3d face unlocking, which is great. But I personally cannot handle day to day usage, with that distraction on the screen!
Thank you Sir Chris for another well rounded review 👌👌

From initial impressions it's a solid device and the cons don't seem so dealbreaking. The design is nice and the performance in gaming on that Amoled screen is smooth.

Awesome photos! 🤩 Looking forward to get this phone in my country.

Still rocking the P30 Pro... it's still a photography beast. I used to change phones close to every bathroom break xD, but I've stuck to this one for so long, it's insane. I'm just not really that enamored by the competition, but I'm also reluctant to give up the out-of-the-box Android/Play Store experience or missing out on 5G network capability. Such a shame they had to target Huawei. As if Apple, Samsung, Facebook/Meta etc aren't doing shady things. It's kinda what you'd expect. Seems like a great phone, the Mate 50 Pro. But the P30 Pro will probably be the last Huawei to own, unless they drop the sanctions and are back in the game again. For a while I had my hopes up for OnePlus... as they announced they'd be collaborating with Hasselblad. However, that seemed to pretty much contain itself to using the branding on the phone. Bit of a disappointment.

Sony... cool features, but the pricing is high and the results still can't really compete with all the AI processing in the other flagships. Xiaomi had that Mi 11 Ultra which I found very interesting and since then have started a collaboration with Leica after they jumped ship from the S.S. Huawei. So, I'm keen to see what's next for them as the 13 Series should be soon announced.

Vivo is the last in the list, but probably the most likely to provide me with a worthy successor to the P30 Pro. I liked their X70 Pro+, but wasn't swayed enough. Their X80 Series missed out on a Pro+ version. In the next month or two we'll probably get introduced to the X90 Pro+ and I believe that will finally be what I was looking for. My P30 Pro screen has cracks, it can't charge through USB anymore, only wirelessly, so it's really starting to be on its last breath...

Using the Mate 50 Pro since over a month now and i am getting along with it pretty well, great camera, great performance, long battery lifetime and many more.

Still rocking my Mate 40 Pro, the last Huawei phone with Kirin chip. Love it to bits. I bought in the same year to my Note 20 Ultra. The Huawei's battery life is still as new, whilst my Note is already showing its age.

[GFourGadget]

In terms of performance and camera it's definitely improved from the Mate 40 but I think the design took a step backwards with the notch and the obvious camera lenses on the back.

[Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

Thank you, now I'm able to watch your reviews in full hd again 👍🏻

[usmanabdulkadir]

Amazing unboxing keep it up as always Chris Sir

[eduard]

It's a really solid phone, don't get me wrong, but woah that price is insane at 1300€. I can't see people buying this over an S22 ultra/ iPhone 14 Pro or even the Pixel 7 pro which is insane value at 899€

[ademiravdic]

still rocking p30 pro, absolute beast

[Plantguy]

I'm turned off by the no Google app issue. They have their own created apps and if the work just as well fine but not sure I want to take the risk. Currently on p30 lite and live it. Does the job. Was half thinking the p30 Pro is still an excellent phone and has an excellent camera.

Great review on the mate 50...i am tempted
