Summary
The Huawei Mate 50E was announced in 2022 by Huawei and scores 0/100 on Mobileverso for mobile gaming — not recommended for gaming. Does not run Free Fire reliably. The display is 6.7", OLED, 90Hz and 442 ppi. It packs Qualcomm SM7325 Snapdragon 778G 5G processor (6 nm process), Adreno 642L GPU and 8 GB of RAM and storage of 128 GB and 256 GB. Battery life comes from a 4,460 mAh battery and 66W charging. The main camera is 50 MP, handy for streamers who post gameplay with a selfie. Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB Type-C 3.1, OTG. It has a gyroscope — good for motion aiming in shooters and steering in racing games. The phone weighs 201 g and measures 161.5 x 76.1 x 8 mm. It ships with HarmonyOS 3.0. For Free Fire, the Huawei Mate 50E does not run — has no version for HarmonyOS. In other popular games: Genshin Impact does not run; Call of Duty Mobile does not run; PUBG Mobile does not run. Not enough hardware for today’s main games — only older casual titles run.
How the gaming Score is calculated
The score is a weighted average of the device's compatibility with each of the 8 games evaluated. Each game gets a verdict (0 to 100) and a weight, and the final score is the average of those points.
- Won't run — 0 points
- Runs on low — 25 points
- Runs on medium — 55 points
- Runs on high — 80 points
- Runs competitive — 100 points
Heavy games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile) carry more weight than light games (Subway Surfers, Brawl Stars), because running the heavy one already implies handling the light one. Each game's verdict combines chipset (tier or real AnTuTu), minimum RAM, screen refresh rate and operating system.
