Huawei will be launching its newest flagship smartphone before July ends. The company will introduce the Huawei P50 series on July 29 in China. It will be the first smartphone to run on Huawei's HarmonyOS 2.0 platform. 

It's rumoured to use a Kirin 9000 chipset or the LTE-only version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. Some other rumoured specs include 66W fast-charging support, a 1-inch camera sensor from Sony and a 1/1.18" ultrawide sensor.

Huawei teases P50 series during HarmonyOS launch

Huawei has just held a big launch for its HarmonyOS 2.0 launch in China, and the company wanted to show off its next-generation smartphone at the launch—at least through a 45-second promo of the device. It didn't say, though, when it will release the new handset. 

But the promo featured a slow pan of the device, showing the quad-camera system on the P50. The series is expected to launch with a 1-inch Sony IMX800 camera sensor. Basing it off the screengrab from the video, GSMArena believes it can go from 18mm to 125mm, suggesting it has a 5x periscope zoom.
