DISPLAY Huawei P50 Pro
Display Type OLED display
Display Technology OLED
Screen Size (Display Size) 6.6" Better than 94 % of phones rated.
Screen Resolution (Display Resolution) 2700 x 1228 pixels Better than 93 % of phones rated.
Pixel Density 450 ppi Better than 80 % of phones rated.
Colour Depth 1.07 billion colours Better than 99 % of phones rated.
Display Refresh Rate 120 Hz Better than 94 % of phones rated.
Touch Sampling Rate 300 Hz
Display Features Wide colour display (P3), 1440 Hz high frequency PWM dimming, True-Chroma Display

The screen size reaches 6.6" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.

Display Resolution of Huawei P50 Pro is 2700 x 1228 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. If you want a perfect picture, focus on pixel density in addition to resolution. This number indicates how sharp the image will be. Best phones today have a display fineness of 450 ppi or higher, but the today´s average is around 350-400 ppi. That should be enough for you to enjoy a fine and sharp image. This model has a pixel density of 450 ppi.

The refresh rate is 120 Hz. This value indicates how many times per second display shows new information. Previously, 60 Hz was considered the standard, but today the average frequency for mid-range phones is more like 90 Hz. Modern phones now reach frequencies of around 120 Hz and above. Higher frequencies mean a better user experience when browsing the internet and especially when playing games.

PROCESSOR Huawei P50 Pro
Processor Type (CPU) Qualcomm Snapdragon 888
Clock Speed 2.84 GHz Better than 97 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty 8-core Better than 99 % of phones rated.

The processor type of the Huawei P50 Pro is Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. Huawei P50 Pro is provided with processor´s frequency of 2.84 GHz. Normally today you will find this value between 1.8 and 2.8 GHz, and the higher the number, the faster the response of the phone. The processor frequency will thus be one of the important parameters if you are looking for a phone capable of managing several requests at once without major problems.

MEMORY Huawei P50 Pro
RAM 8 GB Better than 92 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 256 GB Better than 98 % of phones rated.

The phone is provided with an internal memory of 256 GB. Internal storage capacity is often a key parameter, as it determines how many files, photos, apps and more your phone can store. Best phones like this one have 256 GB to 1 TB of memory, which is already enough for even the most demanding geeks who use the phone to create videos, take high-resolution photos and play more demanding games. The downside is that with most phones, you'll have to pay extra for that kind of storage capacity. Fortunately, manufacturers nowadays think of all users and therefore offer phone models with different memory sizes so that everyone can choose what suits them.

Operating memory significantly affects the performance of the entire phone. Huawei P50 Pro has an operating memory of 8 GB. Phones with less than 4 GB of RAM are better suited for undemanding users who use phone more for basic needs and some essential applications only. But if you are a heavy user, reach for at least 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which is the standard today, or 12 GB for the really demanding ones.

Camera Features (Front) Intelligent Field of View

The rear camera of the Huawei P50 Pro is equipped with 4 lenses. A larger number of lenses usually results in better quality photo, as each lens is designed differently: usually as a macro lens, telephoto lens or wide-angle lens. Macro lens is used for great close-ups, telephoto lens is designed for capturing objects in the distance as it often has an optical zoom, and wide-angle lens will take great landscape photos where you need a larger field of view. A high resolution lens alone does not necessarily mean high quality photos. The main lens in this has a resolution of 50 Megapixel. However, if you are looking for perfect photos, in addition to resolution, don't forget to focus on at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size. Luminance is one of the main factors determining the quality of a photograph. Commonly today, this value ranges between F/1.8 and F/2.2. However, best photomobiles have an aperture of up to F/1.2. Value indicates how much light passes through the sensor and the lower it is, the better the quality of the photos. Main lens here is equipped with F/1.8. An undeniable advantage is the optical image stabilisation, which makes image significantly more stable without any loss in quality. Cheaper phone models are equipped with electronic stabilisation, which has a negative effect on the resulting image quality. If you like to take photos of people and portraits, you'll appreciate the facial recognition feature. The camera automatically detects face and focuses on it.

Second camera
The resolution reaches size of 40 Megapixel. Furthermore, aperture of second lens reaches size of F/1.6.

Third camera
Lens number three represents the Ultra wide-angle lens. The lens achieves a field of view of up to 120 degree(s). The resolution of third lens is then 13 Megapixel. Finally, the lens also features a lens aperture of F/2.2.

Fourth camera
Huawei P50 Pro also has a fourth lens, which is designed as Telephoto lens. Fourth lenses are usually fitted to the highest quality cameras. The resolution of fourth rear camera reaches 64 Megapixel. Lens aperture value then reaches F/3.5.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Huawei P50 Pro has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The main front lens is designed as a Ultra wide-angle lens. The resolution of main lens reaches 13 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is not the only factor affecting the quality of the front camera photo. The aperture of main lens is F/2.4. As for the field of view of main lens of front camera, it reaches 100 degree(s).

The facial recognition feature is just a nice cherry on top.

BATTERY AND CHARGING Huawei P50 Pro
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 4360 mAh Better than 88 % of phones rated.
Fast Charging Technology HUAWEI SuperCharge technology, Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge Better than 86 % of phones rated.
Wireless Charging Yes Better than 91 % of phones rated.

The battery size of Huawei P50 Pro is 4360 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day. Today, wireless charging feature is popular and appreciated by many users. You don't have to worry about your phone overheating, and it's also practical in that you don't wear out your phone's connector unnecessarily. The fast charging function will also please many people. Owing to fast charging, phone charges up to several times faster, which you will appreciate, for example, on the go.
