Huawei has a clamshell foldable smartphone in the form of the Huawei Pocket P50, and now it is being reported that the company is gearing up to soon launch a successor model in this foldable lineup.
A tipster from China has claimed that a new model in the Huawei P50 Pocket series will be launched in the Chinese market by the end of this month. However, the company is yet to revealed anything related to this new phone.
As per the report, the upcoming smartphone model will come with a 6.9-inch internal display and will lack the external screen. The device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor which will be limited to 4G connectivity.
In the camera department, there will be a triple-camera setup on the back which will include a 40-megapixel primary camera sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel hyperspectral lens.
If the previous reports are to be believed, then the smartphone is likely to be called Huawei P50 Pocket New and is expected to be priced much lower than the original model as the company is aiming to undercut the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series.
The pricing of the upcoming foldable smartphone from Huawei could be as low as 50 percent than its predecessor. The starting price of the smartphone with 256GB of internal storage could be 4,999 yuan (~$695) but it’s just a speculatoin at this point in time.
Samsung is also rumored to be working on a budget foldable smartphone under its Galaxy A-series but we may have to wait for a couple of years for the affordable Galaxy A-series foldable smartphone to be available in the market.
