The Huawei Mate 50 RS Porsche Design 256GB is Huawei Test's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.74 inches, 111.8 cm2 (~91.3% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4700 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 3,499.
The Huawei Mate 50 RS Porsche Design excels with its 66W wired and 50W wireless charging, delivering full power in under 40 minutes, and its 4700mAh battery sustains heavy use across a full day. The 120Hz OLED display with 1212x2616 resolution delivers buttery motion and pixel density sharp enough for detailed media. Its 232g weight feels premium, not bulky, thanks to the Porsche-designed titanium frame. This phone targets collectors and professionals who prioritize fast charging, exclusive design, and HarmonyOS 3.0’s privacy controls over Google services. The critical weakness is the absence of 5G—only LTE is supported, limiting future-proofing in markets like India where 5G rollout is accelerating. In UAE at AED 3499, it’s overpriced because competitors offer 5G, better cameras, and Google apps for similar cost. In India, where it’s unavailable, the lack of 5G and Google services makes it irrelevant despite its build quality.
