Under the hood, the new Mate 50 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It was initially believed to feature the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, but this was a welcomed surprise. However, this processor only supports 4G networking. This is primarily due to the sanctions it faces from the US. Furthermore, the premium grade handset will be powered by a 4,460mAh battery pack that supports 66W fast charging and up to 50W wireless fast charging as well.
