A leaked image allegedly shows the case next to a P50 series phone.

P50 Pro, Huawei’s flagship photography-based model, is powered by Snapdragon 888 SoC designed to work with 4G only. However, 5G status will still allow the device to access 5G signals accordingly AnTuTu news site. One theory is that the P50 series was designed to connect to a 5G network and that the “5G Mobile Phone Case” activates this technology.
Something similar has been released before. Back in 2018, the Motorola Z3 was launched and while it was an initial 4G phone, a 5G Moto Mod magnetic attachment was glued to the back of the phone It allowed it to communicate with Verizon’s 28GHz mmWave 5G waves (which means finding a 5G signal was like finding a needle in a haystack.
