The vanilla Huawei P50 will be the first smartphone to be powered by HiSilicon Kirin 9000E SoC. Unlike the P50 vanilla model, the latter two phones will be powered by HiSilicon Kirin 9000 chipset. Another leak suggests that the company will be soon starting mass production as their design has been finalized.
It is also rumored that the phone will be released with a new improved design and significantly developed photography system. According to the tipster, the Huawei P50 series will be equipped with a new generation of imaging systems, and it will continue to feature Leica-engineered cameras. The tipster didn't share any other information on the camera specs.
Last month, a user called Teme posted on social media that the P50 will feature a 6.6-inch quad-curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate. He further posted that P50 and P50 Pro will arrive with a slimmer glass, new gesture support, EMU 11 based Android 11 operating system, and Quad/Penta camera sensors by Leica that can offer high 200x digital zoom.

HTC is getting ready to launch a universal USB charger that will allow select handsets to be powered up 40% faster than with regular chargers. Called HTC Rapid Charger 2.0, the accessory uses Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 technology which debuted last year on the Snapdragon 800 SoC, and is obviously included in newer chipsets.
While the HTC Rapid Charger 2.0 is compatible with all HTC smartphones, there aren't that many which can benefit from its faster charging abilities. For now, HTC is listing the following models: HTC One M8, HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition, HTC One E8, HTC One remix, and HTC Desire EYE. It's not clear if the HTC One M8 for Windows is also included here.
At the moment, HTC isn't saying exactly when the Rapid Charger 2.0 will be released, and neither how much it's going to cost. Anyway, it's probably safe to assume that its price will be roughly similar to the one of Motorola's Turbo Charger, which is currently sold for $34.99.
