Design and Display

Design-wise, there is no denying the fact that Huawei made substantial changes that separate the Huawei P50 from the P40.

The most conspicuous of the changes discussed in the above paragraph can be seen on the rear, here we have two conspicuous circles holding the rear cameras. This comes in place of the square camera module we saw on the P40.

Also on the rear, you will find some text describing the cameras and also the Huawei branding, which indicates it’s a Huawei Smartphone.

On the front panel, you will find a 6.5-inch OLED display with a punch-hole camera in the middle, as opposed to the 6.1 inch OLED display on the former with a dual front camera cut out.
