(Pocket-lint) - Huawei has announced that it will be unveiling its next "flagship products" on 29 July, and it's widely expected that this could - at long last - be the launch of the Huawei P50 series.
It was anticipated that Huawei would announce its new flagship phone series in spring, as it usually would, but this year has been a little different. The manufacturer confirmed that it would be delayed, but it would release the phone as soon as it could,

Huawei has confirmed it is launching its next flagship products on 29 July 2021 and it's widely believed this will include the Huawei P50 series of smartphones. The time is given as 19:30 on the Chinese website, here are the global times:
- San Francisco - 04:40

How can I watch it?
The launch event is expected to be streamed on YouTube on the Huawei Mobile channel. You'll also be able to watch it on Huawei's consumer site: Consumer.Huawei.com. Both these locations are listed on the announcement of the event, but we've not seen any evidence of the livestream yet.
Huawei also hasn't been publicising this event widely, we suspect because it's focused on China, where it's moer widely mentioned on Weibo. If and when we find the livestream, we'll update and host it here so you can watch it.
What's expected?
Simply, the Huawei P50 series. There have been a number of leaks throughout the first six months of 2021, so it's not exactly a secret anymore. In fact, Huawei itself has teased the phone.

Currently, we're expecting the series to feature the Huawei P50 and P50 Pro, both powered by flagship processors, Leica cameras and OLED displays.
The camera design has been talked about a lot since it first appeared. It appears Huawei is going with something of an unusual design, featuring multiple lenses split acrouss two protruding discs on the back of the phone.
