Huawei Mate 50

The Huawei Mate 50 Series has made its debut, but often, the non-Pro variant takes a backseat in reviews. I'm excited to shine some light on the standard Mate 50, which offers impressive value for its price tag of RM3499 - a whopping RM800 less than the Pro model. With a flat display, same-resolution cameras as the Pro, and a battery that's still fast-charging capable, this mid-range device is worth exploring. In this review, I'll delve into its performance, camera capabilities, design, and more to see if it's truly a good deal.
