Unlike the last few weeks, there won’t be multiple smartphone launches the next week. As of writing this article, only one company has confirmed a new phone announcement in the next few days.
The firm we are describing is Huawei. The former world’s largest smartphone brand has scheduled to debut its first watered-down foldable smartphone on November 2.
This device is officially called Huawei P50 Pocket S. As the name suggests, it will be a cheaper variant of the existing Huawei P50 Pocket.
For the unaware, the P50 Pocket is Huawei’s first vertical (aka clamshell) foldable smartphone. It was announced in late December 2021.
Instead of debuting a successor almost a year later, the company is about to introduce an affordable version. Let’s check out what this handset will offer.
Upcoming Smartphone Next Week
Huawei P50 Pocket S
The Huawei P50 Pocket S is in the news for the last few weeks. However, its November 2 launch date was only confirmed recently by the firm.
The device will be presented at a conference, which is scheduled to begin at 7 PM GMT+8. The event will be live-streamed on Weibo and other leading Chinese video streaming platforms.
Thanks to leaks and teasers, we know a few details about the forthcoming Huawei P50 Pocket S, which was previously known as Huawei P50 Pocke New.
The second clamshell foldable phone from Huawei is tipped to be powered by the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC (4G version). For comparison, the original P50 Pocket houses the 4G variant of the Snapdragon 888 chip.
Further, it is said to lack an external display on the back. But it will retain the 120Hz refresh rate for its foldable display from the expensive model.
Last but not least, it is expected to be the first Huawei foldable smartphone featuring cameras tuned by the company’s self-developed XMAGE image processing.
As far as price is concerned, the Huawei P50 Pocket S could retail at ¥4,999 and ¥6,999 for 256GB and 512GB storage variants, respectively. It may arrive in six vibrant colors, such as black, blue, pink, white, green, and yellow.
