Huawei is reportedly working on a new clamshell folding phone that will succeed the Pocket S. A Chinese digital blogger has spilled a few details about the device, revealing that it will have an upgraded secondary screen, be thinner and lighter than its predecessor, and most importantly, will have 5G support.

Huawei recently introduced 5G in their Mate 60 series smartphone for the first time since the US ban, so it’s natural to think that the company will follow suit in its upcoming smartphones.

The upcoming foldable phone will likely be the first Huawei foldable phone with 5G support since the US ban. Additionally, the tipster notes that the phone will be specifically targeted at female users. No other details have been shared about the device.

Huawei’s most recent flip phone is the Huawei Pocket S, which features a 6.9-inch internal display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1.07 billion color display. It also has a 1.04-inch external display that can be used for quick tasks such as checking the weather, taking selfies, and controlling music playback.

The Pocket S is powered by the Snapdragon 778G 4G processor and comes with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It has a triple-lens rear camera system with a 40MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide sensor, and a 13MP super macro sensor. The phone also has a 10.7MP front-facing camera.

It is unclear what specific upgrades Huawei will make to its new clamshell folding phone. However, the fact that the company is targeting female users suggests that the phone may have a more stylish and compact design. Additionally, the phone may come with new features that are specifically tailored to the needs of female users.
