Huawei has found a spiteful way to steal the iPhone 14’s ‘best camera phone’ crown

Whereas the iPhone 14 could be the greatest new cellphone popping out very quickly, it won’t be the finest; we have simply heard that the Huawei Mate 50 is about to debut actually the day earlier than Apple’s latest.

This comes from Huawei itself, which has confirmed the information through Chinese language social media platform Weibo (opens in new tab) – this alone means that the launch is China-only, however we may see international availability offered in the subsequent few months.

This cellphone is… late, to say the least. We used to see Huawei’s P-series telephones at the starting of every yr and the Mate at the finish, however after the 40-series in 2020, the Huawei P50 solely went on sale in January 2022, and the Mate 50 was rumored to be canceled.

We do not now precisely what’s going to present up, past the Mate 50, as whereas we’ll seemingly see a commonplace and Professional system, some leaks suppose price range and super-premium variations may come alongside too.


Evaluation: a contender for finest camera cellphone

Huawei’s telephones are identified for being nice camera telephones, with the firm usually debuting modern new options to give them the edge over rivals like Samsung, Google and, most relevantly to this text, Apple.

Specifically, we’ll seemingly see the Mate 50 telephones include a lot a higher most important camera than the iPhone 14, as Huawei has beforehand used RYYB sensors which, to minimize numerous tech jargon quick, are higher at capturing extra mild and colour than the RGB that almost all telephones have.

Plus, we’ll seemingly see higher zoom images too – no iPhone has had optical zoom over 3x, whereas the Mate 40 Professional had 5x, and different telephones from the model have hit 10x.

Admittedly, we’re speculating about two unreleased telephones, so we won’t say for certain whether or not the Huawei Mate 50 or iPhone 14 will probably be higher for images (or basically). We’ll take a look at each after we can, however hopefully, each will discover their way onto our record of the finest telephones.
