I've own many phones since I got my first smart phone back in 2008 with the iPhone 1. But I can safely say the only 2 phones I truly enjoyed for its time were the iPhone 4 in 2010 and Huawei mate 20 pro when I got it in 2018, which I'm still using. It's the phone I've used the longest and for a reason. I am so sold on this phone that I told myself I'm never changing to any other brands from now on. I'm still pissed with the US for the ban. Forget security issue, it's so obvious because they can't keep up with the competition and they simply used this as a convenient excuse. And I know this as Huawei were just about to move way ahead of its competition at that time just from my experience with this phone. Now I'm stuck on what to get for my new phone. Everything else seems like a downgrade. But I do need Google services. I'm so pissed and in a dilemma.

As always. Great review, Chris. Thanks a zillion.

One of the best reviewers on KZfaq. Thanks. Despite being a very nice phone with great camera, the P50 Pro seems like placeholder before their next Kirin-powered flagship.

you know it's a really good camera system when the front-facing camera's quality is even better than the main (rear) cameras of competing phones

I was waiting for your opinion 😅, great phone its shame what happens with US, still love and using P40 pro 😂.

Nice phone. Hopefully next release will be powered by a Kirin SoC.

A really nice phone from Huawei. I am impressed that they were able to keep temperatures in check with the hot 888 soc. I feel the same way Chris the lack of GMS, won't hinder in the use of this great phone👍👍👍.

Really really helpful review. I was hesitant to pick one of these up at the initial price point but Huawei just slashed the price to £699 which makes this a pretty awesome value proposition.

Thank you for the video , I have a feeling these will depreciate very quickly and they will sell for 600-700 on a used market in a few months , 1200€ is just way too much which is a shame , oh and xiaomi , look ! 4k video recording on a selfie camera and an ability to swap between all lenses on the back , get your act together xiaomi , please 🙏

I really like the design and the cameras look super solid. I'm glad to see 4K on the front facing camera but no headphone jack and microSD card for over £/€/$ 1000? I'm finding that hard to digest.

This is what we want to see the different. Not just stay in a room and keep talkative. Great video bro

I'm always waiting for your review, cos you're one of the honest reviewers.

If Huawei were smart to save their smartphone division they would sell these phones at almost a loss but still ship units 1200€ for a phone with no 5G, limited by it's inability to access google apps and so on is not worth that. There are much better phones for a third the price.

crazy that Huawei sell this at this price. Not only it is a late SD 888, it doesn't have Google Play, it also shows ads on some apps like a cheaper Xiaomi or Poco. I know some people who buys Samsung flagships at this price where they could easily buy an iPhone. I'm not an Apple fan but at this price range, the iPhone is a superior product

Fantastic review 👍🏽💯 % can work with out Play Store. P50 Huawei has done great. Considering all the sanctions. They would be number (1) 🌟

Actually luckier in China where you can still get the Kirin9000 edition... might not necessarily be better, but I guess is more of the meaning to it when you buy these new Huawei phones under restrictions...

I got it for 670euro from operator it was a good deal and glad i did it . The phone is awesome

Bloody hell man... Huawei phones are truly the best, I've had iPhone, Samsung, Huawei and now Xperia (huge regret selling my p30) and that p30 truly was the best phone I've ever had... I wish I could use a Huawei phone again but p30 is too old now, and I couldn't live without google

Nice review as always Chris Sir

Is there an advantage to the Kirin vs the 888? What about EMUI 12 vs HarmonyOS? Also, I have heard other reviewers say the global version is stuck on Widevine L3... You said Level 1.

RIP huawei

Great video bro as always but for 1200$/€ no tnx i will skip it

The most anticipated phone of 2022

I honestly think this phone would be usable even without Google Services pre-installed, but the 1,200 EUR is too much to ask. Excellent cameras (as usual).

Excellent reviews in general! Why you don't get hundreds of thousands of views, I don't know.

Much love huawei 😍😍😍😍

Searched for a review on the channel just the day before and, voila! Great review! Btw, i'm really satisfied with my oneplus 8T - on which i decided after watching your video. Thank you!

God I feel bad about Huawei... They're definitely bleeding money and putting an eye-watering price on this won't help their cause. Come on, 1200 euros for an 8/256 configuration??!!!! And don't forget the lack of Google services. It would have been a totally different story if the starter price was around 699 euros. I know it's silly to compare but Motorola has their G200 with the 888+ and that one sells for 450 euros!

Those cameras are awesome

The new p50 pro is a really solid flagship that I would love to have. Also thanks to GSpace you can use all apps you want.

Wondering when android phones will stop with the laggy video performance. Tbh in my case I don’t need 5G at all, but this price without 5G is ridiculous. Great video Chris! 😊

Love it. Seems like photos are super life like with colors. Like it.

Thankyou for the English subtitles

Lovely place in spain,great phone,amazing camera,greetings from cold and windy Scotland😉✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good to see Huawei still hanging in there, good device at a killer price considering what else is available and imminent new generation releases from Samsung. Great review as usual

Thank you for extended review! It seems huawei downclocked 888, no point in getting 800k points in antutu if you can't keep that speed for longer while keeping device cool. Superb camera performance for android device, however i don't think 1.3k euros is correct price for this phone. Considering there is no google services though i could live without them. Sad that new snapdragon cpus are even worse than previous chip. Qualcomm should focus on experience not number in antutu or else. Really wanted xiaomi 12 pro but its uncooked device. Hopefully Poco F4 pro or X4 pro will be superior phones in price/to performance departament. If not, i think iphone 14 will be unstopable this year if they bring usb C , faster charging and no notch screen.

i play new state and pubg on my mate 20 pro... pubg in 4k ultra fps... runs like a dream

Wow the images look amazing really!!!

Really feel for Huawei, flagship phone with only 4G😥😓 Android 11 at launch when 12 have been available for some time 🤔 Huawei is dead here in my country now, great shame 😓

No Google, no 5G, and that price!! I can't understand why they've even bothered to release it outside of China

Very good review,very detail. thx !

what is that other thing on the table that looks the phone folded in half? Are you teasing something?

Hmm considering the price, it's way off my price range. I still have a P30 Pro and therefore I'm still glad Huawei is keeping up with the camera department, although I was expecting some more. But clearly I understand they are living on the edge, after the ban. The audio quality in the recordings ain't good, considering the bitrate so low (Xiaomi like). I wonder why selling a phone at 1,000€+ and give the users such a bad audio quality! (hopefully a patch is on the way). GSPACE helps with Google apps, but Gpay and Android Auto won't work. Better than nothing. Would I go for this phone? At 600€, my price range, yes. At 1,000€+ no way.

Wtf, who is the one buying this for 1.200 euros, looking at the competition? Cmon I would rather prefer having an iPhone 11 or a Pixel 6…

with Kirin 9000, 5G support, headphone jack, good to see SD card Slot, and Google service, this could be Samsung Galaxy replacement Exynos version phones

Can you live without Google? Yes.

How much the Phone cost where are you from? I've seen these in so many reviews but here in germany is 800 Euro. It's hundreds euro less then Samsung or IPhone.

huawei one of the best smart androd phones had been using one thing when switch off how much time it take for the p50 pro to charge from 14-69% and the circle icon what colour it is when it reach around 65% would like to know is it green circle or orange

wow that camera design. go go power rangers

May I ask if the P50 Pro still retain the useful "Light Painting" modes in their camera that were previously avail on the P40 & P30 Pro?

The video looks juttery when zooming. Noise reduction also makes it sound unnatural. Video/photos looks okay but I feel like vivo x70 pro plus is better.

Doesn't it have harmonyos

hey Chris good to see you review p50 pro im curious without Google.. im using a p30 pro

Awesome phone👌👌

MACHINE. 😍 🇧🇷

Good review, can you comparing it with the Sony xperia 1 iv pleased?

Watched it twice already, regarding antutu, was the performance mode on? And, are you willing to do a camera comparison? Cause your samples are amazing, yet, to truly judge we need a camera comparison

Ouch. Expensive.

Yeah I'd seriously consider this if it was 899-999 Euro. 1199 is really just a slap in the face, I actually don't think they actually made that many and don't want to sell that many, they are just using it as a showcase to show they can still play with the big boys.

Should I buy it in 2023?

We've had this phone for months already now but i haven't seen one outside the shops, seems like no one is touching them...😥

I wonder my new huaweiP50pro always hang..and a notice also appears about the process android.process acore has stopped. what is to be done by it? hope i can use it well..am frustrated this time. Please help me to fix it.

Why without Google apps? It is very easy to install the Google apps on Huawei phones. You should have mentioned it.

Overpriced :(

Sad to see how Huawei went from one the most potential companies to disrupt Samsung's and apples pricing to being very quiet these past couple years

Amazing 😍

Wondering which one is better the Huawei pro 30 or this phone? I kidn confuse.. Make it summarize pls

I have a question which is a major part of the functionality of this phone. How about the voice assistant?

When doing benchmarks, activate the performance mode from the settings! Thats why the score was lower.

its sad that we didn't see with the inhouse chip kirin 9000..

Which one is better, Huawei P40 PRO, or P50 Pro?

No 5g no Google services, last gen processor, this will bomb.

Maybe Huawei should go MediaTek. They already have an amazing smartphone. At least it still got the best smartphone chipset of yesteryear. It's decent but not £1299 decent.

Selfie camera is 13 or 32 MP?

Does amazon music work on it? 🥺

1300 euros for a phone unable to open Google maps… sorry but I rather prefer a 100 euro phone with Google services

Hope u review oppo find N too

Selfie is 13 megapixel not 32 mate.

Very nice 👌🏾 phone

Can install apk others Android apps?

No Google Services, no buy. Simple as that, mite. 😎 This message was typed on a Huawei Mate 20X. 😉

I wish Huawei would turn down the over sharpening on their photo processing a little… Samsung seems to be doing the same lately … it’s just too much.

Huawei cameras are always top-notch, but no 5G is a bummer, of is it? I would like to know how it matches up against the Vivo X70 pro+, OPPO Find X 3 pro on the camera front? Looking for the best cameras more than anything else. Anyone who has tested these models might give me a hint. Thanks

Why is the audio muffled in video recording

A huge dealbreaker for me is, lack of Banking app support. otherwise, Huawei P50P is a no brainer

Beautiful phone pity I cannot do my banking on it 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭

How can i get global rom? From Brazil

Price is a deal breaker for me. It's just too much even now.

It makes me weird to see a Huawei with a Snapdragon 😞. It's like seeing an iPhone with a Mediatek processor from 3 - 4 years ago. When I think of what the Kirin 9000, which is already 2 years old, is capable of doing, I kind of imagine what it would have been like if Huawei had been able to continue its Kirin. On the other hand, I'm a little disappointed that Huawei has abandoned its 3D face unlock, and as I said 2 years ago with the P40 Pro / Mate 40 Pro, they should have centered the pill like Apple is apparently going to do on its future iPhones 14. Instead of seeing a pill bigger than the holes in the screen of Android smartphones, people would have seen a miniaturized and revolutionary Face-iD. But at least Huawei seems to have solved its photo-video colorimetry problems, but especially its video stabilization problem, that's the main reason why I stopped to use Huawei. The real big problem with this smartphone is its price, it costs more than an iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Huawei must accept that its status is no longer the same and review its pricing positioning otherwise it will be really complicated for them, the proof they have gone from number 1 in China (their home market where normally the absence of GMS should not be a problem) to not even in the top 5.

Do you have the Spanish language in this version?

👍💛

One of the best phone with horrible OS

Whoever in Huawei decided this price must be mad with no common sense. You can buy iPhone Pro Max, Samsung S21 Ultra etc with that money, although you can use WhatsApp, Netflix etc, without Google services many apps that are important like banking , travel apps, NHS App etc are missing. I am not against Huawei , I own P40 Pro (bought used, would not pay for the original price ) and know the limitations even with side loading.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pls do comparison with iPhone 13 pro and Google pixel 6 pro

1200 euros 🤔🤯🤯🤯 It sells for around 800 here, 1200€😱

It's not worth buying huawei anymore but his cameras I think are not so good but huawei is to forget €1300 is not worth it there are better phones coming

Sankyou,p 50 pro vs pixel 6 pro

Pena q não tem os serviços da Google
