Premium or not? Huawei unveiled the updated Mate 70 Pro with the Premium Edition prefix
Huawei has announced a new version of its flagship smartphone Mate 70 Pro called Premium Edition. Despite this name, the device received a processor with reduced characteristics.
Here's What We Know
While the original model is equipped with a Kirin 9020 chipset, the Premium Edition uses its modified version with lower performance. This became known thanks to Geekbench tests, where this device with the number PLR-AL50 showed results comparable to mid-range models such as the Infinix Zero 40.

The rest of the specifications remained unchanged. The smartphone features a 6.9-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a triple camera with a 50 MP main module, a 40 MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 48 MP macro telephoto lens. The device supports 100W fast charging and 80W wireless charging.
