Huawei P30 Pro might actually feature a quad-camera setup

Don't get so excited yet, this is just some "insider" information leaks by Olixar. But given with its reputation, the mobile accessories manufacturer might also be in the right track as they have just released some concept renders of the protective casing for the upcoming Huawei P30 and P30 Pro.

According to the rumours online, it seems that the next Huawei flagship series will still use the waterdrop notch (quite odd, since they just released the Nova 4 with the O-camera dot on the display). The P30 will still have the triple camera setup behind but for the pro variant, four cameras will be equipped on the back! Should this be true, this will make Huawei the second company to do this.

If we had to follow the original blueprint by Samsung, the quadruple camera setup could feature the standard primary sensor, ultra-wide angle, telephoto lens and a depth sensor. Or...they could bring back the monochrome sensor? God knows.

So what do you think? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more Huawei news at TechNave.com.


Huawei P30 Pro priced leaked on Amazon Italy starting from ~RM4725 + leaked hands-on video

Amazon Italy accidentally leaked out the pre-order price of the Huawei P30 Pro not too long ago, starting from the price of 1024 Euros(~RM4725). The listing, which was quickly taken down, also revealed what could be the tech specs and features that the device will come shipped with.

However, it did reveal a new colour variant called Sunrise Red which is rather unique considering that previous colour schemes were not as vibrant at this. Based on what we know so far, the Huawei P30 Pro is expected to come with Huawei’s latest HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset, 8GB of RAM, up to 512GB of internal storage which is expandable via Huawei’s propriatory nano-memory card, 6.47-inch display Dual Edge AMOLED Display with waterdrop notch and an in-display fingerprint sensor, 40MP + 20MP + 8MP rear camera, 40MP front-facing selfie camera, and lastly, 4200mAh non-removable camera.

It is best to note that the Huawei P30 series could be relatively cheaper in Malaysia, likely costing around the ballpark of RM3299 for the Huawei P30 Pro, and RM2899 for the Huawei P30.

On the flipside, a Twitter user by the name of @xiaomishka has recently posted a hands-on video showcasing the Huawei P30 Pro and its in-display fingerprint sensor performance. Based on the video, the aforementioned fingerprint sensor seems to be rather fast at reading the thumbprint, thus unlocking the phone rather quickly. I am fairly certain that the Huawei P30 Pro would be using an optical fingerprint sensor, instead of the Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor modules that were manufactured by Qualcomm.

Do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, as Huawei has yet to release an official statement about it. so stay tuned to TechNave.com for more updates like this.


Huawei P30 Pro selfie camera scores 89 on the DxOMark Selfie test

We’ve all been raving about the Huawei P30 Pro’s camera capabilities from Night shot to the 50x zoom but how well does the selfie camera fare? DxOMark, a company that tests out camera capabilities extensively, the device fares pretty decently, scoring a score of 89 with 90 points in photo and 88 in video.

For you guys who aren’t up to speed, the Huawei P30 Pro’s selfie camera comes with a 32MP quad core sensor with 0.8µm pixels and 28mm-equivalent, f/2.0 aperture, fixed focused lens. In terms of video, the sensor is capable of recording [email protected] HDR videos.

The device brings to the table some pretty solid performance, its key strength being good exposure, wide dynamic range and pretty accurate colour rendering but loses saturation when outdoors.. It does struggle under warm colour casts in artificial lighting, giving a reddish tint of darker skin tone but it’s not that obvious. In terms of bokeh, it does well when it comes to blurring backgrounds but the dynamic range that is limited results in overexposed backgrounds in brighter conditions.

Exposures come out accurate with nice colour

In bokeh mode, you can see the depth estimation falter somewhat

Unfortunately, the Huawei P30 Pro loses out in indoor and low light conditions due to the unnatural renderings which makes facial features look weird. Noise levels can obviously seen in low light and outdoor conditions but is pretty acceptable. FYI, this device uses a Fixed Focus  lens instead of AF. Focus levels do well in short range and midrange but when it comes to long range, the photo becomes blurry due to the limited depth of field.

Indoor noise levels of the P30 Pro compared to the iPhone XS Max and Samsung Galaxy Note 9

How the Huawei P30 Pro Portrait mode fares against the iPhone XS Max and Google Pixel 3

Overall, the Huawei P30 does pretty well both in terms of video and photography. While photos do suffer due to its fixed-focus lens with limited depth of field, low detailing in low light and unnatural face rendering, its pros does outweigh the cons especially in terms of detail, white balance, controlled noise and more. In terms of video, it has some pretty nice skin tone rendering, a wide dynamic range both indoors and out as well pretty awesome stabilization. Of course, we’ll be doing our very own review on TechNave.com as well!

Huawei P30 Series Grand Launch Sales kicks off with a bang

As previously mentioned, the Huawei P30 series has officially launched across the nation starting from RM2699. We were at Pavilion and Mid Valley checking out the grand launch and witnessed a huge turnout of Huawei fans and consumers queuing up early this morning.

We also managed to get on hold with Soon Wei Boon, who's the first Malaysian to get his hands on the P30 Pro Breathing Crystal model. A Huawei support and photography enthusiast, he said he has "always been a fan of pushing the boundaries with smartphone photography and Huawei’s collaboration with Leica has always piqued my interest. That’s why I could not wait to get my hands on the all-new HUAWEI P30 Series."

“It is quite difficult to find a smartphone that has the capabilities of a professional camera. When I watched the launch of the HUAWEI P30 Series live from Paris and heard about the HUAWEI SuperSpectrum Sensor and also SuperZoom lens, which goes up to 50x zoom, I knew I had to get myself a unit,” he added.

The fans lining up at various HUAWEI Experience Stores in Mid Valley (top left), Sunway (top right), and Ipoh (bottom)

To recap, the P30 Pro features a 40MP SuperSpectrum Sensor + 20MP ultra wide-angle lens + 8MP SuperZoom lens and a Time of Flight (ToF) sensor with MasterAI technology, along with many more. Early birds also got to bring home the Huawei Backup Storage (1TB) but you can still get some more freebie such as a complimentary Huawei Snorkelling Case or Wireless Charging Case depending on which model you get. You may read up their Special Launch Sales details here.

Huawei P30 Series official sales date and free gifts leaked, launching on 6 April 2019?

Just a few hours ago, our favourite Twitter leaker, @evleaks has discovered that the Huawei Singapore page has leaked the official launching sales date of the Huawei P30 Series. Obviously, the page has already been taken down but thanks to the wonders of web archiving and referencing from our neighbouring country, we have taken down a few juicy notes of what Malaysians may potentially be getting from Huawei Malaysia as well.

According to the erased page, there will be a P30 Series roadshow on 6 April 2019 in VIVOCITY, Singapore (Central Court) from 10 AM - 10 PM. Customers who are looking forward to purchasing either the P30 or P30 Pro will bring home a free Huawei Watch GT Active edition and a JBL Clip 2 Bluetooth Speaker (while stocks last). No price was mentioned, though, and the pre-order will be made through Singapore's respective telco companies.

Hmm, will Malaysia also get these goodies?

If you look closely at the moon photo, it says it can go up to 50x with digital zoom

In addition to that, there's also a new high ISO (supposedly up to 409600), a low light video recording and a new Dual-View video that allows the primary and ultra wide-angle lens to record at the same time

Besides that, the page also revealed some interesting tech specs and features that matched previous leaks. The P30 Pro will be equipping the same 40MP primary sensor on one of the triple camera configurations, along with a 20MP ultra wide-angle lens, a new periscope 8MP telephoto lens (up to 10x hybrid zoom and a 50x digital zoom) and a ToF sensor. The P30 won't have a ToF sensor, but will still have a triple rear camera as well (40MP + 16MP + 8MP).

[Update] Someone hinted (thanks Mr Anonymous) that on top of the freebies above of a Huawei Watch GT Active and JBL Clip 2 Bluetooth speaker, Malaysians could also get the Huawei Backup included as well. Just for a refresher, the Huawei Backup is a fast charger that also acts as an automatic or manual backup with a built-in 1TB hard disk drive worth ~RM425, which could mean a much bigger value deal with the Huawei P30 Pro. Oh, and they also said we just might get it on 6 April 2019 as well.

So what do you think? The Huawei P30 Series will be unveiled as soon as next week so expect much news about it. We will definitely be there for the official coverage so stay tuned only at TechNave.com.


Huawei P30 Series unveiled with up to 50x zoom-in, Multi-View recording and more starting from ~RM3682

Today, it's Huawei's turn to shine with the new P30 series - the Huawei P30 and the P30 Pro as well as a newer Watch GT Active Edition (which is another story). In this article, we will be checking out what the new P30 series has in store for us and they're really getting our attention with their new up to 50x digital zoom feature.

But before we get to that, let's cover the main highlight of the P30 series - the camera. As a camera-centric smartphone, the P30 series builds upon the similar tech specs as the Mate 20 series but takes it much further. The P30 will have 40MP + 16MP + 8MP triple rear cameras that consist of a wide-angle lens, an ultra wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens, whereas the P30 Pro also has  40MP + 20MP + 8MP + ToF (Time of Flight) sensor quad rear cameras. Also, they managed to integrate a periscope lens for up to 50x digital zoom for the first time ever on the P30 Pro.

From left to right - 1x, 5x optical zoom, 10x lossless zoom, 50x digital zoom, you can check out our other zoom in photo samples right here

Speaking of cameras, Huawei is also focusing on video recording a lot more, particularly on the P30 Pro. There's a new AIS (AI Stabilizer) and Optical Image Stabilizer combined, AI Video Editing, Low Light Video recording and a brand new Multi-View (a.k.a. Dual-View) recording that allows the user to recording a clip in both primary and ultra wide-angle lens at the same time. It's also crazy to know that its ISO can go up to 409600!

The P30 and P30 Pro will be available in Black, Pearl White, Breathing Crystal, Aurora and a red hot Amber Sunrise colour for all models. Now that's nice.

Huawei P30 Pro in the flesh, it looks normal but it has an Acoustic Display feature. It means that it produces sound from the screen but only for network calling

On the back is where the quad-camera setup are, you can see that there's a box-shaped lens which is the periscope lens that's able to zoom in up to 50x

A closer look showing us no rear fingerprint sensor to be found, so it's located on the screen itself. By the way, the main sensor and periscope lens have OIS integrated

USB Type-C, dual SIM tray (with nano-memory card support) and the speaker grills, no headphone jack for this one

From the side view, you can see the front and back curving in together, making it sleek and slim. On the other hand, the P30 only has the back curving to the body

On the other hand, the P30 has the same look as well but it doesn't have the Acoustic Display feature. The display is also flat instead of curved

The Aurora back design, the triple rear camera setup is just a slightly different

A closer look, all rounded lens which means that it doesn't have a periscope lens like the P30 Pro

Here's how the Dual-View (or Multi-View) mode looks like. At the time of publishing, the mode is not available yet and will come in the near future via OTA update

DxO Mark score is also out, P30 Pro is now on top

Dual 4G and Dual VoLTE is available as well

Huawei will officially launch the P30 series globally starting on 26 March 2019 but as for Malaysia, they still haven't confirmed anything but we are still keeping on our toes that they will launch them on 6 April 2019. As for the price tag, the P30 cost €799 (~RM3682), whereas the three P30 Pro models are priced at €999 (~RM4604), €1099 (~RM5065) and €1249 (~RM5757) respectively.

With MWC 2019 ending, what's the next big thing? Well, that'd be the upcoming Huawei P30 series which are set to be unveiled at the end of March (26th). With just a month away, we have just gotten some nice tidbits on the features.

But that's not all, other features were also spotted and from the unofficial image renders, it looks like the water drop notch is making a comeback again and there are no traces of a physical fingerprint sensor spotted, which means an in-display fingerprint sensor will be used.

The triple rear camera setup is also spotted, the tech specs are unknown at the moment but it's said that P30 sports a focal length of 17-80mm + 3x optical zoom, whereas the P30 Pro will have four rear cameras.

This could hint at how much the Huawei P40 series might cost in Malaysia considering that it is closer to home.

Previously the Huawei P40 5G was launched in Europe for 799 euros (~RM3845) and while the P40 Pro 5G went for 999 euros (~RM4808). With a more than RM600+ price difference, this is quite big all things considered. European prices have generally been around RM200 or so more in the past.

The listing doesn’t reveal much more information that is new except that they could be launched on 4 April 2020 in Singapore. The previous release in Europe said that they would be available on 7 April 2020.

Free gifts in the Singapore pre-order bundle include a flip cover and Freebuds 3 for the P40 5G worth 296 SGD. The P40 Pro 5G will be getting a flip cover, Watch GT2 Titanium, in-Car Charger and wireless charger worth 562 SGD.

Quite obviously there were no Malaysia release dates or official Malaysia pricing details, but they shouldn’t be too far off from the Singapore pricing above, maybe even cheaper? What do you think? Would you buy the Huawei P40 5G or P40 Pro 5G for those prices? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com.

ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro review – The king of all gaming phones in 2022

When it comes to the gaming phone segment, the best series that comes to mind is none other than the ASUS ROG Phone series. And recently, we got to try the latest model in the ROG Phone line - the ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro. This phone comes with the latest hardware, such as the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, dual front speakers, and two USB-C ports. Basically, it has all the features a gamer needs!

Honestly, it's better to use headphones instead of speakers when playing games, especially if you're in public. But in our experience, the speakers on this phone were great for mobile games and music. However, every phone has its shortcomings. And for this phone, it would be the cameras. They're not bad, but don't expect them to perform as well as other smartphones in the same price range.

The ROG Phone 6 Pro is a phone with incredible specs. If you don't particularly care about the cameras, it is definitely a phone worth checking out. It commands a premium price but has the features and specs to justify that price tag. For those eyeing this phone, read on below for our review!

The ROG Phone 6 Pro comes in a hexagonal-shaped box once more, except it's white this time. Even though it's a gaming phone loaded with the latest hardware and a screen on the back, it doesn't look weird. As you can see, ASUS isn't afraid to do something innovative.

This time, ASUS has given the device a beautiful finish on the power button and SIM tray by giving it a metallic blue finish. It has an aluminium frame, the ROG branding on the back, and the ultrasonic Air Triggers on the right. The back also has a bump that houses three cameras, the "DARE TO PLAY" slogan that lights up when you play games, and a mini display.

Definitely has that gaming smartphone look

Top - Nothing here except one microphone

Bottom - USB-C port and 3.5mm audio jack

Right - Power and volume buttons can be seen here

Examples of what the rear display can do

On that topic, the rear display is one of the most unique parts of the phone. It allows you to pre-set selected animations or display notifications. As for the front display, there's no notch or punch-hole for the camera this time. But it does have a noticeably thick bezel border on the top and bottom. The selfie camera and notification LED are located on the top right of the frame.

Moving on, let's take a look at the display. The ROG Phone 6 Pro has an excellent screen capable of reaching up to 1200 nits of brightness on a 165Hz AMOLED panel and an incredible touch sampling rate at 720Hz. It outperforms most competitors, scanning input every 1.4ms for a low touch latency of 23ms.

Not only is the display fast, but it also supports HDR10+ and is powered by a Pixelworks i6 processor. This processor can do colour mapping in HDR and calibrate the refresh rate. Moreover, the screen supports gestures even when it's off, so you can draw letters on the screen to trigger an action.

The phone also has a second USB-C port on the left side that supports HDMI output, allowing some accessories like the AeroActive cooler to be used. At the bottom is the first USB-C port with the 3.5mm audio jack. Additionally, there are two front-facing speakers. As for the Air Triggers, you'll find them on the right side as usual.

For your info, the Air Triggers use ultrasonic technology on the side of the phone. These sensors detect various inputs, which you can set to in-game actions through touch mapping. You can also use it system-wide. For example, we set it up so that when someone grips the phone slightly, Google Assistant pops up. You can also get it to respond to a short sweep or react when you long press both triggers.

The Air Triggers can detect the following inputs when playing games: Touch, swipe, and slide. It can also respond to different combo inputs, as mentioned earlier. Another thing we love is the haptic feedback on the ROG Phone 6 Pro. If you rely on vibration, you won't miss phone calls or notifications when the phone is in your pocket.

Here are the full specifications for the ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro:

Under the frame, the ROG Phone 6 Pro has 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and currently the most powerful chipset - the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. On paper, this phone is the fastest Android smartphone around yet. It features an upgraded Qualcomm Kryo CPU with a 3.2Ghz Cortex-X2 high-performance core, three 2.8GHz Cortex A710 performance cores, and four 2.0GHz Cortex A510 cores.

Qualcomm claims that the upgraded CPU is 10 per cent faster than the one in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and offers 30 per cent better CPU power efficiency. The phone also has an ASUS X-Mode that you can activate to overclock the chipset. Moreover, you can turn off the refreshing of background apps and enable HyperFusion or Dual-Band Wi-Fi.

Besides that, the feature can automatically set the screen refresh rate to 144Hz. That's handy for people who prefer using lower refresh rates for general usage. Another great function is the dual-band Wi-Fi introduced by ASUS, which helps to stabilise your Wi-Fi Internet connection when playing games. It uses a 5GHz frequency for lower latency.

There's also the ASUS Game Genie dashboard that launches with your games. It offers access to features you may want to tweak or view, such as screen recording, Air Trigger mapping, real-time stats, and more. ASUS also included the Armory Crate app, so you can change the things like the lighting effects.

In addition, ASUS introduced other features such as OptiFlex, which speeds up application launches, reduces application reloads, and saves power. It is automatically activated for Google Chrome, Facebook, Gmail and YouTube.

One word that can describe ROG Phone 6 Pro is gaming. Almost everything about this phone is designed to affect the gaming experience. This phone is really powerful and the fastest we've reviewed to date.

Almost every game that we played was lag-free. With this phone, you can play any high-end mobile game perfectly. For our review, we downloaded Mobile Legends Bang Bang, Genshin Impact, and PUBG Mobile to see how they run. We easily maintained 60 FPS without feeling excessive heat on the back of the phone.

Playable at ultra graphics setting and high refresh rate

Throughout our gaming sessions, frame rates remained stable, even for titles like Genshin Impact that are hard on the RAM and chipset. It's even better for Mobile Legends BB and PUBG Mobile, as they're less demanding games.

The ROG Phone 6 Pro feels a little hot when playing Genshin Impact, but it wasn't to the point of being unacceptable. Additionally, it would only feel hot if you don't have good ventilation. If you're at room temperature and have good ventilation, the heat won't ever be a problem. Overall, the phone's heat dissipation is easily one of its best achievements.

Genshin Impact looks great on this phone

Next, we did some benchmark tests on Geekbench and 3DMark. As you can see, the phone's CPU scores well in single-core and multi-core performance. It outperforms most Android devices while staying within 10% of the iPhone 13 Pro's performance in 3DMark's Wild Life Extreme test.

The ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro has a 6000 mAh battery, a capacity that's one of the largest in a flagship device. We tested its battery life with heavy usage, including gaming, taking pictures, messaging, media playback, etc. On average, it lasts 8 hours with heavy use and a day and a half with regular use on a full charge.

As for charging, the ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro has a 65W USB PD charger inside the black box. With this charger, the phone went from 0% to 100% power in less than 45 minutes. Overall, we were happy with the efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and the large battery on this phone. Really, it's the perfect combo.

ASUS also included two built-in protections that will help to protect your battery life. The first is the bypass, which provides power to the device without charging the battery or using it. Essentially, the phone is powered directly by the charger. It's like the laptops back in the early 2000s, which can run on the charger even if you remove the battery. This allows the phone's battery to "rest" and reduces the device's overall heat generation.

The second protection is the Steady charging feature. This feature charges your phone more slowly for more heat reduction. Also, you can limit the battery's maximum charge to 80% or 90% if you want to prolong its lifespan.

After talking about the many advantages of this phone, let's talk about some of its shortcomings. First, it's a bit too heavy for a smartphone for everyday use. Your wrist could get tired after holding this phone for a long time due to the weight. It's something you'll experience a lot when playing games on the phone.

Estimated battery life and general settings

Also, some may consider the thick bezels ugly and unfitting for a flagship phone. An under-display front camera would have been better, as ASUS could make the bezels thinner. Of course, ASUS probably went with this design to accommodate its mobile accessories.

We also hope that ASUS could increase the fast charging to 120W to match its large battery capacity. After all, there are competing brands with charging specs. Having said that, we don't really have an issue with the 65W charger. But a faster speed saves more time, don't you think?

The ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro has a 50MP Sony IMX766 main camera, 13MP ultra-wide camera, and 5MP macro camera. They deliver photo quality that's good enough for us to use it regularly. As for the 8K video recording, it feels like a gimmick. The cameras also don't have EIS or additional HDR processing; it's all raw video. You can try 8K if you want, but we suggest you should stick to recording in 4K for high-resolution videos.

Since the ROG Phone 6 Pro is a gaming phone, cameras aren't the focus of this phone. Having said that, you shouldn't underestimate the cameras. Honestly, we were quite surprised by the quality of the photos and videos they produced. You can check out the sample photos we've taken below.

The ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro is a top-tier flagship device with some of the latest hardware and features that help in mobile games. If you want a device with gaming features and excellent performance in practically all aspects, this is the phone for you. However, it has one glaring problem that will make most people think twice - its price. Specifically, its price tag of RM4999.

That's a lot of money to invest in a gaming phone. You might think, "But I have the budget, so why not?" Well, it's not a bad option if the top-notch features are what you want. And if you want a gaming phone that looks awesome, you can't go wrong with this one. Of course, this phone is overkill if you just need a regular smartphone.

Want a powerhouse in mobile photography? Well, you'll have better luck with non-gaming smartphones. But if you want more affordable gaming smartphones, there are options available. In this case, we recommend checking out the Black Shark 5 Pro (RM3999), POCO F4 GT (RM2499), and OnePlus 10T 5G (~RM2900).

So, do you think the ROG Phone 6 Pro is the gaming phone you need? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to TechNave for more reviews like this.


Huawei P40 series images leaked showcasing under display front camera and six cameras at the back

It seems that a bunch of images related to the Huawei P40 series has been leaked, which showcases the overall design of the upcoming smartphone. The images hint that the Huawei P40 series will come with a display with nearly 100% screen-to-body ratio, similar to that of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

Furthermore, the front-facing selfie camera is not visible in the picture, which hints that the P40 series could come with an under-display front-facing selfie camera. Based on a statement by cmno.com, it seems that the back of the smartphone comes with four regular cameras and two TOF sensors. With that said, we might expect Huawei to utilize both the TOF sensors for augmented reality application and 3D scanning.

With all that said, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt as there was no official statement by Huawei on the leaked device. What do you think of the alleged P40 series? Let us know on our Facebook page, and for more updates like this stay tuned to TechNave.com.

As of now, there is no official news in regards to the official tech specs and local pricing of the P40 series. However, based on our previous coverage, the screen size of the Pro variant is expected to be as big as 6.5-inch or higher. With all that said, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt because Huawei has yet to comment on the statement by Ming-Chi Kuo.

Huawei P50 Malaysia pre-order: SD888 chipset & 4G-only, priced at RM2999

Back in January this year, the Huawei P50 Pro came to Malaysia first without any signs of the standard P50. Finally after four months, the Huawei P50 arrived in Cocoa Gold and Golden Black at the price of RM2999.

You can check the phone out at the HUAWEI Official Website, as well as its online store in Lazada and Shopee.

In terms of tech specs, it's not so different from the P50 Pro. The only difference is that the P50 is sporting a slightly shorter 6.5-inch OLED display and a lesser 90Hz refresh rate + 300Hz touch sampling rate, and a triple rear camera consisting of a 50MP (main) + 13MP (ultrawide) + 12MP (telephoto) setup.

Huawei P50 Pocket and P50 Pro coming to Malaysia on 12 Jan 2022

The Huawei P50 Pocket that launch last month proved to be quite a good-looking clamshell foldable. But Huawei has been focused on launching its mid-range devices globally, so most didn't expect it to arrive anytime soon. Well, turns out it's coming out this week.

As announced by Huawei Malaysia, the Huawei P50 Pocket and Huawei P50 Pro will be coming to Malaysia on 12 January 2022. The company will probably announce the local pre-order for the phone on that day. This typically lasts for about a week, so both devices could be officially available here by 19 January 2022.

Elegance in the palm of you hand! #HUAWEIP50Pocket features a minimalist look that belies the sophisticated design within.Stay tuned for this beautiful foldable smartphone from HUAWEI on 12 January. https://t.co/bL1kzbOzDj pic.twitter.com/BdwNW6txP5

The Huawei P50 Pocket is Huawei's new clamshell foldable smartphone. It's a fancy device that packs a Snapdragon 888 4G chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of storage. It also has a 6.9-inch foldable OLED screen (120Hz), 1.04-inch OLED cover display, 40MP+13MP+32MP rear triple camera, and more. The Huawei P50 Pro has the same chipset but has a more powerful 50MP+64MP+13MP+40MP quad-camera setup. It also has a slightly larger 6.9-inch OLED screen (120HZ).

Huawei Malaysia hasn't revealed the local pricing for the two devices yet, but you can check out the product pages for more details. In the meantime, stay tuned to TechNave for further updates about them.


Huawei P50 Pocket officially revealed with a quad rear cam module & an exterior viewfinder

Today, a fashion site called Harper's Bazaar on Weibo.com just released a barrage of the Huawei P50 Pocket photos online held by a model. It was surely surprising since Huawei was quite discreet in keeping the phone design but the cat's out of the bag now.

As you can see from the photos below, the P50 Pocket is certainly targeted towards premium users with its aesthetic gold design. Furthermore, the phone features a single circular quad rear camera module and another circular viewfinder below it. That exterior viewfinder can function as a mirror and should be able to show other information such as time and notifications.

Other than that, there are no other tech specs or features mentioned in the post. At this point, we can only speculate that it's very likely to be a high-end tier flagship sporting either a Snapdragon or Kirin chipset. Until then, we can only guess so much so it's best to sit back and wait for the official reveal on 23 December 2021.

Huawei P50 Pocket review - A stylish flagship foldable phone that fits in your pocket!

Huawei's previous foldable phones have always been part of the Mate series. But the P series has finally ushered in its first foldable mobile phone - the Huawei P50 Pocket. Now that more foldable phones are available, is the Huawei P50 Pocket worth buying? We got to test the phone for a few days, so below are some of our thoughts about it.

Before testing the phone, we had to unbox the Huawei P50 Pocket. The box is a rather large one, which is rare these days. Its pure white design is complemented by golden accents and words, simple and stylish. Inside, you will find the Huawei P50 Pocket smartphone, a welcome message, SIM tray pin, charger, and USB cable.

As you can see, the Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition Gold Edition comes in gilded gold. This custom edition was designed by the Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen. According to the designer, her inspiration came from the concept of symbiosis and interconnectedness. The curved texture on the surface of the frame is very high-quality artwork, and it shines even more when it's under the sun.

Gold is a colour that many people like. It makes the phone highly noticeable on a table or in your hand. If you flip open the phone while out on a walk, we're sure you will attract the attention of many people.

Huawei P50 Pocket Art Custom Edition in Gilt Gold - Designed by Iris Van Herpen

When folded, the two halves have barely any gap between them

As mentioned, the Huawei P50 Pocket Premium Edition has a metal frame with a gold exterior. Due to the gilding effect, the phone feels good in the hand. It's solid and has a good grip, so it won't easily slip. However, its mirror-like finish makes it very glossy, which results in smudges and fingerprints. On top of that, the gold surface makes them easy to see.

Having said that, the ladies would probably be more concerned about the phone's weight. The P50 Pocket does have a certain amount of heft to it. But our female colleagues all said that the weight was acceptable. Moreover, it's super compact once you've folded it. That makes it easy to keep it in a pocket or bag, as it doesn't take much space.

Folded state: 87.3 mm, easy to hold in one hand

Continuing the P50 series' double-ring design, one of which is a 1.04-inch external screen

Rather than the horizontal foldable devices you've seen, the Huawei P50 Pocket adopts a clamshell design. You might wonder whether this phone can be unfolded with one hand like those old flip phones. Unfortunately, we regret to tell you that it isn't easy. While it's not impossible to open it with one hand, it's trickier than most would expect. After all, it is a foldable smartphone.

Upon unfolding the phone, you'll see that it's slimmer than many other phones on the market. Texting, unlocking, and other functions can all be done with one hand. The volume keys are also easily within reach for one hand. For unlocking, the Huawei P50 Pocket uses a side fingerprint reader that's easy to access, whether the phone is folded or unfolded. The fingerprint reader is rather sensitive and responds quickly too. When the phone is folded, you can even turn on the camera, music, or check the weather on the external screen.

Up to 120 Hz refresh rate, 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming

Punch-hole front camera with 10.7MP sensor

Once unfolded, you will also find a 6.9-inch FHD+ display (2790×1188) with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. There's also a front-facing 10.7MP camera located on the top under a punch-hole. We also noticed that the screen aspect ratio for the Huawei P50 Pocket is a bit longer than other phones on the market. Moreover, the screen is not flushed but protrudes slightly instead. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the visual experience of the display.

Then there is the point that everyone worries about - the crease of the display. The fold of the Huawei P50 Pocket is quite shallow, and the folding area is smaller. So when the phone is unfolded, you won't notice it all that much when you use it from the front. But if you look from the side, you will see the indent where the screen is folded. The main screen of the Huawei P50 Pocket looks like any regular smartphone display when unfolded. Due to the position of the crease, you are more likely to feel it while operating the phone regularly. Some people might be bothered by it, so it's something to consider.

When unfolded, the crease is only visible from the sides

You can easily use it for selfies when it's unfolded too

Another thing worth noting is how the phone handles being unfolded halfway. Based on our tests, the Huawei P50 Pocket is relatively stable even when it's at 90°. This form factor is handy for selfies or other recording videos. Of course, you can't do this if the folding angle is too large or small.

Having said that, Huawei has optimised the phone's cameras. Overall, it's not much different from other foldable phones. The only unfortunate thing is that it doesn't support free-angle photography. If you need to adjust angles for your selfies, you have to manually angle your hand.

The external screen provides multiple tools to use

On the other hand, the external screen offers a new range of utility on a Huawei smartphone. It's almost like a smartband or smartwatch display was added to the device. The design here is a throwback to the dual-ring design of the P50 series. Here, one of the 'rings' was replaced by a touch display that provides access to the music, camera, and weather apps.

It is worth noting that the external screen can also access a "mirror" app. In addition to being used as a small portable mirror, it supports skin detection and sun protection detection. We're sure that the ladies would find them useful.

The Huawei P50 Pocket has great hardware, and we've listed them below:

Now, let's talk about the specs of the Huawei P50 Pocket. The phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 888 chipset, 12GB RAM, and 256GB of storage. However, the chipset is the 4G variant, so there's no 5G support. Besides that, theP50 Pocket has a 4000mAh battery with Huawei 40W super fast charge. It also has a dual-SIM tray and supports expandable storage up to 256GB.

Like all Huawei devices these days, the Huawei P50 Pocket is not equipped with Google Mobile Services. Our unit was pre-loaded with EMUI 12, which performed similarly to other Huawei flagship phones. The control interface is intuitive enough. You can set your app drawer to large or small.

With the increasing popularity of Huawei AppGallery, Huawei P50 Pocket comes with some simple apps. This includes a file manager, web browser, gallery, media player, Petal Maps, and AppGallery.

All the apps that Malaysian users need daily can be found on AppGallery. For example, Facebook, Instagram, MySejahtera, Touch n Go eWallet, Grab, Maybank2u, and more are available. Be it take-out services, banking transactions, entertainment, or social media, the AppGallery is enough to meet the daily life of ordinary users.

Unfortunately, the phone also comes with a lot of bloatware. You can delete some of them, but the unremovable ones can only be hidden.

Adjust screen refresh rate; Themes; and external screen settings

As a foldable device, the P50 Pocket has rich customisation options for the main screen and external screen, which can meet the preferences of different users. The main screen of the P50 Pocket supports a screen refresh rate of up to 120Hz and supports variable refresh rates. You can also manually set the refresh rate according to your needs.

The performance of the Huawei P50 Pocket is not bad. After benchmarking the device in Geekbench 5 and 3DMark, you can see that the phone has flagship performance. It doesn't just handle daily tasks well, but it also tackles social media with ease and runs some mobile games smoothly.

It scored 875 and 2636 in Geekbench 5's single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. Also, it managed 2847 points and 832 points in 3DMark's Wild Life and Wild Life Extreme benchmarks. Based on the Stress Test, the difference between the highest and lowest scores isn't too big either. When we tried some mobile games on the P50 Pocket, it also performed well and was very stable.

The foldable display won't affect your experience when gaming. However, the aspect ratio and punch-hole relationship will do just that. Because of that, users have to adjust the position of the buttons when playing certain games to avoid accidentally touching the front camera lens. The phone ran fine when we played Genshin Impact with the default settings, with no lag detected. But if you play for a long time, the phone will heat up, especially on the side with the secondary screen. You'll feel the heat, but it won't be too obvious.

Because of the 21:9 aspect ratio, the screen is wider

40W fast charge; charges from 0% to 100% within 1 hour

The phone, 40W charging adapter, and USB-C charging cable

The Huawei P50 Pocket has a battery capacity of 4000mAh, which delivers a good battery life. Most users would only need to charge it once a day. But if you're a heavy user, you might need another charging session during the day. Fortunately, the P50 Pocket supports Huawei's 40W super-fast charging, which can quickly power it up. It's a pity that wireless charging isn't available.

Next, the Huawei P50 Pocket is equipped with a triple-camera setup. It consists of a 40MP main camera + 13MP ultrawide camera + 32MP ultra spectrum camera. The Huawei P50 Pocket can take good pictures not only in the daytime. It can also do so in low-light conditions, even without night mode enabled.

Thanks to the external screen, the P50 Pocket offers some extra shooting modes. First of all, it supports a variety of selfie modes. For example, you can open the screen to take a selfie with the front 10.7MP camera. But you can also take a selfie directly with the external screen when the phone is folded. When the phone is unfolded 90°, the camera software will switch to a split-screen mode. This mode is very convenient for taking selfies.

The external screen also supports touch controls. For example, you can swipe left to start the camera. You can also click once to take a picture or double-tap to switch to the ultrawide camera to fit more people into a selfie.

But there are also some things to note. Since the external screen is circular, it is difficult to predict what the selfie would look like. Fortunately, it's not as hard as you might think. If you hold the phone vertically, you'll get a portrait shot. But if you're holding it horizontally, it would be a landscape photo. Simple enough, right?

As a foldable phone, the Huawei P50 Pocket can be considered a device that caters to the ladies and the high-end market. In particular, the design is sure to capture the hearts of many in Malaysia. As a flagship phone, it also delivers the performance that a flagship phone should have but bear in mind that you will be using mostly HMS.

Of course, you can't quite compare this phone to a regular one. At RM5999, the Huawei P50 Pocket was made for fashionistas and those who want the best-looking smartphones. Its only competitors include the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, which is more affordable at RM3999 but isn't as gilded in gold-coloured metal. Well, the choice is yours.

So is the Huawei P50 Pocket worth buying? If you have the budget and love its design, go for it! Anyway, do you agree with the points in our review? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave!

Huawei P50 Pro Lunar Vision Edition spotted, expected to feature identical specs

It hasn't been all that long since Huawei launched its new P50 series, but the company is already looking at some special editions. The phone is currently available in Black, White, Pink, Blue, and Gold. Now, there's also going to be one with a milky white colour for the P50 Pro.

According to a leak from Weibo, the variant is called the Huawei P50 Pro Lunar Vision edition. The design is the same as the regular P50 Pro, with the main difference being the colour. Specifically, the back sports a design that's like the moon's surface. It looks a bit like white marble, which is quite an attractive look.

Packed inside are either a Kirin 999 5G chipset or Snapdragon 888 4G chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and a maximum of 512GB of internal storage. It should also come with a 6.6-inch OLED display, a quad-camera setup (50MP+64MP+13MP+40MP), and an under-display fingerprint sensor.

Last week, Huawei had unveiled the Huawei P50 Series which includes the P50 and P50 Pro. Here, we spotted a Huawei's 100W charger (model number HW-200500C00) that appeared on China's 3C certification.

According to sources, the charger might come with the P50 Pro+ or Mate 50 Pro in the future.

Huawei P50 Pro first impression - Another great flagship design as always

It's been a while since we last held a Huawei phone. But thanks to Huawei Malaysia, we got ourselves a P50 Pro phone unit. In this article, it will be the first impression of the device and we believe that there are still many faithful Huawei fans looking forward to it.

The variant that we got is the P50 Pro in Cocoa Gold and we must say that it certainly caught our attention. At first glance, it is as if the body is coated in refined and sparkling gold. However, the back is completely made of glass and this attracts fingerprint smudges rather easily. But, you can always slap on a protective casing to solve this issue.

Definitely one of the more eye-catching camera designs

Obviously, the most striking feature is the rear camera design on the P50 Pro. It has two huge black circular camera modules and this will certainly catch attention from anyone nearby. On the top part, the phone features three camera lenses while the fourth lens and LED flash are located right below. One of our writers also thought the P50 Pro looks much better than the P40 Pro and we couldn't agree more.

Meanwhile, the P50 Pro sports a 6.6-inch curved OLED display and supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate. We also found an in-display fingerprint sensor and this unlocks fairly fast and accurately as expected. You can also see a single front camera cutout at the top centre that looks much simpler than the pill-shaped front camera from its predecessor. With this design, the phone offers a larger and wider visual experience.

In terms of sound, the P50 Pro has a pair of dual stereo speakers that sounds great. Even at maximum volume, the sound quality is quite clear so we think most users will have a good time watching videos, listening to songs and playing mobile games on it. Since this is a first impression article, we haven't really touched on the camera and mobile performance so please be patient as these will be covered in later articles.

Although we can't comment much on the camera performance yet, we were told that there are quite a few camera features onboard. This includes a 200x zoom mode, XD Fusion Pro Super HDR, True Focus Fast Capture and an AIS Pro True Steady smart stabiliser for 4K video recording. Of course, the P50 Pro is running on an HMS system with a built-in AppGallery to let users download the apps they want.

So what do you think of the Huawei P50 Pro? Do you love the design? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more first impression tech gadget articles on TechNave.com.


Huawei P50 Pro renders appear once more, now in more detail

Last week, renders the Huawei P50 Pro appeared online. Unfortunately, it was hard to see the details of the phone's design with those renders. But yesterday, additional renders of the device were leaked and it shows you how the phone really looks like.

Thanks to @HoiIndI, we now get to see the P50 Pro from multiple angles. Do bear in mind that these are should be concept renders, so they might not be 100% accurate. But with that said, you can see that front has a punch-hole camera and a display that curves at the side. At the back, you'll find a Penta camera setup, which includes a periscope camera.

The P50 Pro is expected to mostly follow what the Huawei P40 Pro had (and lacked). In other words, it's likely to have an under-display fingerprint sensor but no audio jack. As for specs, it should come with the Kirin 9000 chipset, at least 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage.

As we said, these renders may not be accurate, so do take them with a grain of salt. Having said that, would you be interested in Huawei's latest flagship? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more news.


Huawei P50 allegedly certified by 3C, comes with 66W charging

According to sources, the device will support 66W fast charging. On the other hand, the camera housing might look similar to the HONOR 50 with a big dual circular. The top part of the circle may carry three lenses and the bottom might sport a periscope telephoto lens.
