Vegan Leather Flagship Smartphones

This 'Huawei' Device is Sheathed In Sleek Black Leather

Chinese multinational electronics giant Huawei has announced a unique version of its previously released flagship smartphone, the 'Mate 50 Pro,' which stands out in the crowd due to the fact that it happens to be sheathed in black vegan leather.

Whereas Huawei previously made use of an orange vegan leather for the 'Mate 50 Pro' that was released in China, the all-new 'Mate 50 Pro Carbon Black Vegan Leather' marks the entry of this approach into the international market.

What's more, this flagship smartphone also enjoys a brand new Kunlun Glass material that is said to be able to protect the device's phone screen 10 times better than previous versions.

The introduction of this vegan leather version of a globally sold flagship smartphone is a clear signal of intent from Huawei that it intends to increasingly incorporate the material into its various devices.
