How Long Does the Huawei P50 Pro Battery Last? The design, build, launch, and release of the Huawei P50 Pro is a bold statement from Huawei in its list of mid-range smartphones in the P series. The Huawei P50 Pro was released in August 2021 with HarmonyOS 2.0 for Chinese Users and EMUI 12 for European Users due to sanctions on HarmonyOS in some of their market countries outside China. The Operating Systems of the two models of the Huawei P50 Pro run on Kirin 9000 (5nm) and Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 4G (5nm) processors respectively. The performance of the Huawei P50 Pro thrives on the technological stability and optimization of its varying octa-core (1x3.13 GHz Cortex-A77 & 3x2.54 GHz Cortex-A77 & 4x2.05 GHz Cortex-A55) and Octa-core (1x2.84 GHz Cortex-X1 & 3x2.42 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A55) CPUs and the Mali-G78 MP24 and Adreno 660 GPU respectively. The processor depth of the Snapdragon 888 makes for the speed in the execution of tasks and the Adreno 660 GPU is a solid enhancing factor of the display attributes of the Huawei P50 Pro. The battery of the Huawei P50 Pro technically falls short of the status of the Huawei P50 Pro in the digital market but has amazing durability with light or moderate usage when the processor is fully optimized. The OLED display and 1B colour output are also attractive parts of the design of the Huawei P50 Pro. The display screen is slightly curved on the left and right sides respectively and has tiny bezels on those sides but on the top and bottom, the bezels are bigger. The Huawei P50 Pro Battery Type The Huawei P50 Pro is designed with a non-removable Lithium-Polymer battery. The battery is wrapped and glued to the inner panel (hardware) of the phone. A removable battery needs a hard plastic case to prevent accidental damage, especially when it's not connected to a phone. This kind of case adds to the bulk and weight of a smartphone. So, when consumers demand a slimmer, and lighter design for smartphones, one of the solutions engineers came up with was to install a permanent battery. The Huawei P50 Pro Battery Capacity For the depth of display, sound, camera, and design qualities of the Huawei P50 Pro, one would expect a higher battery capacity that is equal to the qualities and be at par with the overall performance of the Huawei P50 Pro. The Huawei P50 Pro comes with a 4360mAh battery capacity. Fast Charging Capabilities The non-removable Lithium-Polymer battery of the Huawei P50 Pro is enabled with 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. With the help of a 65W Huawei SuperCharge adapter, it takes 30 minutes for the P50 Pro to go from 0% to 67%, and 70 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%. There is a need to follow safety rules when conducting wired or wireless charging for your smartphone. To charge the Huawei P50 Pro with a charger adapter and a USB Type-C 3.1 cable, here are some steps. Use a USB cable to connect the charger to your device. Plug the charger into a power socket. When a beeping sound is heard, your device will start charging, and the charging mode icon and current battery level will be displayed on the charging animation screen. For safety, please use a charging pad purchased from an official Huawei channel, and use the adapter and USB cable that came with your device. To charge your Huawei P50 Pro using a wireless charger, here are some steps also. To supercharge your device wirelessly, use a charging pad that supports SuperCharge. Connect the adapter and charging pad using the USB cable, then plug the adapter into a power socket. Place the charging pad on the table, then place your device at the center of the charging pad with the screen facing upwards. Your device will start charging a few seconds later when it beeps. If you are using a high-voltage SuperCharge adapter and charging pad, the charging pad will charge the device at a superfast charging speed. A wireless SuperCharge icon will be displayed. If you are using a high-voltage fast charging adapter, the charging pad will charge the device at a fast charging speed. A wireless fast-charging icon will be displayed. If you are using a standard adapter, the charging pad will charge the device at a standard charging speed. A wireless charging icon will be displayed. If you have a choice of using a PC to charge your Huawei P50 Pro, ensure you plug your smartphone into your PC with a USB Type-C 3.1 cable and select the Charge Only option from the USB option displayed to be certain that your PC has no access to your media on your phone. Battery Performance of the Huawei P50 Pro The battery capacity of the Huawei P50 Pro is 4360mAh which is technically estimated to last for about 23 hours. The absence of 5G support on the Huawei P50 Pro gives more usage time with the battery as 5G consumes more power when in use. Activity breakdown of the battery performance of the Huawei P50 Pro: Web browsing – 10 hours and 3 minutes Video Playback – 11 hours 31 minutes Gaming – 4 hours Screen-on time: 6-7 hours Calls – as long as the phone stays on You can use the Huawei P50 Pro for 6-7 hours before boosting its battery life again. The gaming time of the Huawei P50 Pro could vary with the graphics quality of the game being played. The higher the graphics quality, the faster the battery gets drained. Precautions for Charging These general precautions should be adopted when charging your smartphone as they come with complicated circuits. Charge your device using the standard charger and USB cable that came with your device. Using other chargers may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazards. Do not use the charger in damp areas, such as toilet. Do not handle the charger with wet hands. Do not charge your device when there is moisture in it. After you connect your device to a charger or other devices using a USB cable, your device will automatically inspect the USB port. If moisture is detected in the USB port, your device will automatically activate safety measures and stop charging. Disconnect your device from the USB port and wait until the USB port is dry. Do not cover your device or charger during charging. If your device does not power on after you press and hold the Power button, the battery may have run out. Charge for 10 minutes and then power it on. Disconnect the charger from this device and unplug the charger from the power socket once this device is fully charged or is not charging. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter, go to an authorized Huawei Customer Service Centre to replace the battery. It is recommended that you avoid using your device while charging. Explosions and shocks can happen at any time as a result of an anomaly in the power distribution in the phone. Conclusion The Huawei P50 Pro is arguably a mid-range smartphone with great technological improvements from its design to its performance. Some areas can be improved on in subsequent designs and models of Huawei phones, especially its battery life, camera, and network upgrade. For a mid-range smartphone, having about a 24-hour usage time is still fair enough but not the best for the Huawei P50 Pro.
