There is no need to speculate that the Huawei P50 Pro is a top smartphone loaded with the latest technologies. But his promo is rather strange. What is the point of all those firsts if we don't buy it either in the Czech Republic or in the rest of Europe? 

DXOMark is a French company engaged in testing the quality of not only the photographic skills of mobile phones. If we focus only on this segment, it also tests the battery, speakers or display of mobile phones. Its evaluation is referred to by many media and its test results have a certain reputation. But there is an important but.

An unequivocal leader 

The Huawei P50 Pro has four main cameras that Huawei collaborated with Leica on. DXOMark tests proved that the camera set really did well, as the set received a total rating of 144 points, and this smartphone took the first place in the rankings of the best camera phones. Although only one point ahead of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, but still.

Individual ratings of the Huawei P50 Pro in DXOMark:

To make matters worse, the P50 Pro also won among selfie cameras. 106 points is the highest ever, which is 2 points higher than the deposed king Huawei Mate 40 Pro. And because they say the third is the third of all good things, this smartphone also won in the field of displays. Its 93 points puts it in first place ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, which has 91 points in the ranking.

Multiple questions, one answer 

There is no doubt that we have before us the best smartphone of the current time. But the phone is intended primarily for the Chinese market and its global availability is a big question. So here we have the top of the market, which we cannot buy, and whose camera test was published in DXOMark shortly after the presentation of the phone itself. There's just something wrong here.

Current rankings in DXOMark:

Why praise something and set it as a benchmark if we can't buy it? Why does the French test evaluate something that potential customers can't even buy in that country? Why will we all now refer to a leader who may be nothing more than a unicorn from the time he is introduced until he is surpassed at some point in the future? Huawei wants to regain its lost glory, but why overwhelm the company's PR department with something that most of the world cannot appreciate?

There are many questions, but the answer may be simple. Huawei wants the brand to be heard. Thanks to its tangle with Google, the novelty contains its own HarmonyOS, so you won't find any Google services here. Likewise, 5G is missing. The phone may be equipped with a Snapdragon 888, but the American company Qualcomm is saving 5G modems for someone with more potential and someone who is not so controversial for the US.

Consequences of one war 

They say that when two fight, the third laughs. But in the battle between the US and China, the third is not laughing, because if it should be the customer, it is clearly beaten. If there were no disputes, the Huawei P50 Pro would have Android and would already be available worldwide (it went on sale in China on August 12). And why does it really bother me? Because competition is important. If we then consider the iPhone as a top smartphone, it also needs top competition. He also needs one that will sell well. And we definitely won't see that with this model. Although I'd like to be wrong. Detailed tests of the phone in DXOMark can be found on his website.
