2022 seems to be the year of the foldables, just as realme’s Xu Qi had earlier predicted. The market that has been completely dominated by Samsung until now is beginning to heat up firstly with the release of the OPPO Find N and now the soon-to-launch Huawei P50 Pocket.
A launch event will be held on December 23rd for the device where the curtains will also be lifted on some other products like the Huawei Watch D smartwatch with support for blood pressure monitoring. The Huawei P50 Pocket is likely the same device that has been doing rounds as the Huawei Mate V for a while now.
Design & Display
Display analyst and CEO of Display Supply China Consultants (DSCC) Ross Young recently revealed that the Huawei P50 Pocket is equipped with a large 6.85-inch foldable screen, which is a tiny bit larger than the one on the Galaxy Z Flip3. The primary display is complemented by a smaller, circular cover display on the outside of the phone, with a size of 1-inch. This one is positioned under the rear camera module, also with a circular design.
But even with the usage of such a breakthrough piece of tech, Huawei hasn’t gone light on the design of the Huawei P50 Pocket and has undoubtedly made it quite the head-turner, with a golden body and a unique textured finish. Some images were shared yesterday by a fashion magazine, showing Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong endorsing the Huawei P50 Pocket. A use case of the outside display has also been demonstrated therein, showing the actress clicking a selfie using the rear camera.
Cameras on the Huawei P50 Pocket
Moving on to the cameras, a tipster had claimed that the P50 Pocket’s rear camera setup will include a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 13-megapixel snapper, and an 8-megapixel tertiary lens. The handset may carry support for 3x optical zoom.
Other Specifications
Apart from the above, there is barely anything known about the Huawei P50 Pocket in terms of specifications, although reports do suggest that the phone will be coming with support for 66W rapid charging. If true, it will be leaving the Galaxy Flip3’s 15W charging in the dust.
There is no information on the chipset and battery capacity of the P50 Pocket. The device is likely to arrive with support for 66W rapid charging. Apart from the gold variant, the P50 Pocket may also arrive in a blue edition. The leak claims that it will be priced lower than the Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G. To recollect, the Samsung flip phone was introduced with a pricing of $999. As usual, readers are recommended the specs leak of the P50 Pocket with a grain of salt.
Colors & Expected Pricing
Apart from the gold coloring showcased in the images above, the Huawei P50 Pocket may also come in a blue edition and a white variant.
As for pricing, the phone is expected to be cheaper than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip3 that debuted with a price tag of $999. Offerings from Chinese companies are generally cheaper as it was seen with the OPPO Find N’s price of around $1,200, which is much lower than the Z Fold3’s launch price of $1,799.99.
That said, with just a few days left for launch, we should be getting further details about the stunning foldable phone through both official and unofficial channels.
