Huawei's most up-to-date Mate 50 premium candy-bar smartphones feature what is arguably the plainest iteration of its series' "Star Ring" rear camera hump yet. Their successors, however, are now backed to upgrade to a more elaborate, potentially more appealing, version that may draw comparisons between the device's rear panels and a popular snack food.

The Huawei Mate 50 series has been on the global market for a number of months now, which means it is more than time to start thinking about a next generation - in leaker terms, at least. To that end, a well-known tipster purports to offer an initial sneak peek at these allegedly upcoming top-end smartphones' new camera hump.

If that of the Mate 50 series can still be called a "Star Ring", then that of the Mate 60 has evolved into a "Star Oreo" - according to RODENT950, at least. As the name suggests, the alleged switch in design involves splitting the traditional round rear camera housing in 2 with a wide horizontal band the same color as the rest of the rear panel (lilac, in this case).

It still accommodates quad rear cameras, thus implying consistency with, if not improvement on, the high-scoring Mate 50 series. They are still XMAGE-branded, although the logo is found outside the 'cream' in the 'Oreo': a trick potentially missed there - then again, Huawei still has time to refine this design - presuming RODENT950's new render proves accurate, of course.

On that note, the leaker asserts that the OEM currently plans to make 5 new devices with this updated design, which might hint at a new mystery variant alongside successors for the Mate 50 E as well as those for the vanilla 50, 50 Pro and a possible future RS variant.
