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.

Huawei is no longer an important player in the smartphone industry. However, the company keeps releasing new phones every now and then, albeit with limited availability.

The firm is expected to debut its second flip-style foldable smartphone with a vertical folding display in the near future. According to a tipster, this handset will be accompanied by a new smartwatch.

A leaker on Weibo (via HuaweiCentral) says that Huawei will hold a launch conference in China later this month. This event could take place around October 25.

The star of the show will be Huawei P50 Pocket New. As the name suggests, this foldable handset will be a new variant of the existing model.

The tipster says that a smartwatch will be presented at this conference. This wearable will be officially called Huawei Watch GT Cyber.

But unfortunately, he does not reveal anything about the watch. Hence, we know nothing about the product since this is the first time we are actually hearing about it.

On the other hand, we do know a few things about the Huawei P50 Pocket New. As per multiple reports, it will be a toned-down version of the original model.

The phone is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC instead of a Snapdragon 888 chipset. Further, it will lack the external cover display.

Last but not least, It is expected to come in two colors (Black, White) and could retail at ¥4,999 and ¥6,999 for 256GB and 512GB storage variants, respectively.

At the end of August, the Huawei P50 Pocket’s sequel was spotted in the database of the TENAA certification site in China. Now, a leaked poster of the device has appeared on Weibo. The image reveals that the device will debut with the “Huawei P50 Pocket New” moniker in the market.

According to reliable tipster Teme, the Huawei P50 Pocket New will be equipped with the Snapdragon 888 4G chipset and will lack a cover display. The leaked poster also shows that the device does not have an external screen. The image reveals that it will offer key features like a 120Hz OLED display, HarmonyOS 3, and XMAGE image processing technology.

While the authenticity of the poster could not be confirmed, it reveals that the P50 Pocket New will be available in 256GB and 512GB storage options.
