Earlier this week, Huawei had launched its latest foldable smartphone, the P50 Pocket. It is a clamshell style flip phone that arrived with a number of notable features. And now, we even have the repair prices for the new device, and to no one’s surprise, it is quite expensive.
Typically, a flagship smartphone usually has a high cost of repair for its different components like the display, rear panel, or motherboard; and this holds especially true for the Chinese tech giant’s P50 Pocket as well. Talking about the device in question, it sports a 6.9 inch foldable display that has a 21:9 aspect ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, and more. Under the hood, it is powered by a 4G enabled Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 SoC and 4,000mAh battery pack.
Apparently, the pricing for the base P50 Pocket and its premium edition is the same for certain. However, this doesn’t include the display, which costs up to a whopping 4,379 Yuan (roughly 690 US Dollars) for the premium version while the base variant’s display costs 3,579 Yuan to repair (roughly 560 US Dollars). In other words, the display alone is worth two capable mid range smartphones. Although, it isn’t something expected considering the specifications of the foldable OLED panel.
Similarly, the repair price for the 8GB + 128GB variant’s motherboard is 3,399 Yuan (roughly 535 US Dollars) while the 512GB variant on the Premium edition costs 4,599 Yuan (roughly 720 US Dollars). So, its clear that breaking your new Huawei P50 Pocket might set you back quite a bit due to these eye watering costs.
