In February, Samsung unveiled a new 50MP ISOCELL GN2 sensor which is 1/1.12-inches big and has 1.4μm-sized pixels. It’s currently the largest sensor you can have on a smartphone.
The South Korean giant will keep that crown for the rest of 2021, suggests leaker Ice Universe. He adds that the sensor will first appear on a Xiaomi handset that will be released toward the end of March.
Samsung ISOCELL GN2 will be the largest mobile phone sensor in 2021, which will bring an unprecedented experience, waiting for the Xiaomi phone at the end of the month.

Previously, the P50 was rumored to sport the Kirin 9000E chipset, but leaker Teme now says it may instead be equipped with a new Kirin 9000L SoC that is based on Samsung’s 5nm tech. It looks like a less powerful version of the 9000E as the leaker says that the A77 core will be limited to 2.86Ghz.
Huawei P50 may be equipped with the new Kirin 9000L processor. This processor uses Samsung’s 5nm technology, but the core parameters have been reduced to a certain extent. The A77 core is reduced to 2.86Ghz, and the GPU becomes an 18-core G78.#HuaweiP50

This may mean that the P50 Pro will be fueled by the 9000E, and only the Pro Plus will flaunt the Kirin 9000.
