Huawei HarmonyOS Rumors

The Huawei Mate 50 series is coming next month if we can trust various leaksters. Latest rumors claim the vanilla Huawei Mate 50 will have a Snapdragon 888 chipset, limited to LTE, instead of a yet unannounced Kirin 9000S platform that is likely reserved for the Mate 50 Pro.

The Mate series is supposed to be the best Huawei can offer, and this vanilla smartphone will have a triple 50 MP camera on the back. RAM is listed as 8 GB, while storage is 128 GB or 256 GB. The OS will be the latest Harmony OS 3.
