China Telecom, in addition to selling telecommunications equipment and services in China, also sells smartphones in the country under the U-Magic brand. This week, the company unveiled the U-Magic 50 5G, a low-cost smartphone with 5G connectivity and a long battery life for the entry-level market.
The U-Magic 50 5G is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 480 5G SoC and a large 5000mAh battery. The device's overall endurance is increased thanks to the combination of a large battery and a power-efficient chipset onboard. The device's fundamentals appear to be adequate for an entry-level 5G smartphone when paired with 22.5W wired fast charging.
The U-Magic 50 5G has a 6.5-inch dewdrop notch LCD display with a screen aspect ratio of 20:9 and a high screen-to-body ratio of 89.3 percent. It refreshes at 60Hz and has a screen refresh rate of up to 60Hz. Though the device's resolution has yet to be revealed in marketing materials.
