Rumors dating back to November 2023 revealed the existence of the Huawei Pocket S2 foldable phone and claimed that it would debut in December. However, a report that surfaced in December claimed that its launch has been pushed back to early 2024. A leaker from China with a reasonable track record has revealed the launch date of the Pocket S2. In addition, he also leaked that Huawei would launch a new notebook equipped with its in-house processor.
Huawei Pocket S2, New Notebook with Kirin PC incoming
According to a Chinese leaker, the Huawei Pocket S2 is expected to be officially announced on Feb. 27, indicating that its unveiling may take place during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 tech event. The leaker asserted that the device might be powered by an underclocked version of the Kirin 9000s.
For those unfamiliar, the Mate 60 series of flagship phones, introduced last year, also incorporates the same chip. As for the specifications of the Pocket S2, the rumor mill has not yet disclosed any details.
The leaker also claimed that Huawei’s new laptop equipped with the Kirin PC processor will also be unveiled soon. While he did not mention the launch timeframe, it appears that the device may go official alongside the Pocket S2.
Another leaker recently claimed that Huawei’s Kirin PC processor will feature 4 x TSV large core, 4 x TSV medium core, Maleoon 910 8-10cu for graphics, dual large-core NPU (Ascend Lite), dual micro-core NPU (Ascend Tiny), up to 32GB LPDDR5-6400, up to 2TB SSD, and support 2 or 3 x USB 4.0. Its performance is said to be comparable to Apple A12Z. The Maleoon 910 is Huawei’s in-house developed GPU. It is likely that the Kirin processor powered PC will run on the Harmony OS.
