Huawei has officially confirmed the Pocket 2 Premium Edition, a slightly reworked version of its vertical foldable, through a post on its Weibo account. The announcement doesn’t offer much in terms of new features, but it does lock in pricing, color variants, and a release timeline.

The Premium Edition will be available in two configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage for 5,499 yuan, and a 512GB version for 5,999 yuan. Interestingly, the price is about 2,000 yuan cheaper than the standard Pocket 2, which originally launched starting at 7,499 yuan. 

It’s a noticeable discount, though the “premium” moniker doesn’t seem to correspond with a more capable spec sheet, at least not based on what Huawei is saying publicly.

Color options for the Premium model include Tahitian Grey, Rococo White, Taro Purple, and Elegant Black. These are the same finishes we’ve seen before, and visually, the teaser doesn’t show much to distinguish this variant from its higher-priced sibling.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed changes to the internal hardware yet, but earlier reports have hinted at a possible chipset upgrade to the Kirin 9020A, which allegedly delivers a 35% performance bump over the Kirin 9000s used in the current Pocket 2. Whether this claim holds up will likely be settled during or after the sales event.

Huawei Pocket 2 Specifications

The Pocket 2’s base specs remain unchanged on paper. It features a 6.94-inch OLED main screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a smaller 1.15-inch OLED cover screen. The camera setup includes a 50MP main shooter with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide, an 8MP telephoto, and a 2MP hyperspectral sensor. On the front, there’s a 10.7MP ultrawide camera.

The device still runs HarmonyOS 4.0, has a 4520mAh battery with 66W wired charging, and supports IPX8 water resistance. Other carry-over features include UV protection testing, satellite messaging via Beidou, and a few cosmetic perks like animated pet themes.

Sales for the Pocket 2 Premium Edition begin June 26 at 10:08 AM through VMall and Huawei-authorized stores in China. The device won’t likely make its way outside of the Chinese market.

The post Huawei quietly confirms Pocket 2 Premium Edition appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier it was rumored that the Huawei Nova series flip phone could be released in July. However, a new leak claims that the phone could be released in early August.

The news comes from Weibo (Chinese microblogging site) tipster “Dingjiao Digital”. The Nova series flip phone will be priced relatively lower than the Huawei Pocket 2, launched in February this year. The Nova series flip phone could be priced around 4,000-5,000 yuan (~$550 – $688), which will attract many new users to join the realm of foldable devices. However, the tipster claims that the phone will pack the same processor as the recently released Pura 70 Satellite Messaging Edition.

For those unaware, the Huawei Pura 70 Satellite Messaging Edition is powered by the Kirin 9010E chipset. It features one 2.19GHz Taishan core, two 2.18GHz Taishan cores, three 1.55GHz Cortex-A510 cores, and a Maleoon 910 GPU clocked at 750MHz. Compared to the Kirin 9010, the CPU runs at a 111MHz lower clock speed, while the other cores operate at almost the same frequencies.

The Nova series flip phone will reportedly have a different outer design as compared to the Huawei Pocket 2. As you can see in the image above, the Huawei Pocket 2 comes with a small circular external display. The new flip phone is expected to offer a bigger outer display which will be more functional than that of the Pocket 2.

In order to give you an idea of what to expect, the Huawei Pocket 2 equips a 6.94 inches LTPO OLED inner display that offers a resolution of 1136 x 2690 pixels (~420 ppi) and reaches a peak brightness of 2200 nits. The outer circular display also boasts an LTPO OLED panel, which is measured at 1.15″ and has a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels. The phone packs an XMAGE branded 50MP + 8MP + 12MP + 2MP quad camera setup on the back. The 50MP main and the 8MP 3x telephoto comes with OIS support. The 2MP hyperspectral camera reportedly uses AI. There is a 10.7-center punch-hole selfie camera on the front. The Pocket 2 is powered by the Kirin 9000S chipset.

The post Huawei Nova series flip phone could launch in August with Kirin 9010E appeared first on Gizmochina.

Although not new to the foldable market, Honor has just launched its first clamshell folding phone, the Magic V Flip. Meanwhile, its former parent company Huawei has already released three flip phones, the latest being the Huawei Pocket 2. Both phones bring a stylish touch to the foldable trend, but which one is better? Let’s dive into a head-to-head comparison.

Design and Display

Both the phones come in a now-familiar clamshell design with a large, foldable main display. The Honor Magic V Flip features a 6.8-inch foldable LTPO OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR and Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits. 

The Huawei Pocket 2, on the other hand, has a slightly larger 6.94-inch LTPO OLED screen with the same 120Hz refresh rate but a lower peak brightness of 2200 nits. However, both displays are bright enough to ensure good outdoor visibility.

The cover screens, however, set these phones apart. The Honor Magic V Flip has a large 4-inch edge-to-edge screen with features carried over from the main screen, including a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR certification. 

In contrast, the Huawei Pocket 2 has a small 1.15-inch cover screen below the camera module. While it allows you to check notifications, you need to flip open the phone for things such as to reply to messages. The Magic V Flip’s cover screen is large enough to handle most tasks without opening the phone.

When folded, both phones are incredibly thin, with the Honor Magic V Flip having a slight edge at 14.9mm compared to the Huawei Pocket 2’s 15.3mm. The Magic V Flip is also lighter, weighing 193g compared to the Pocket 2’s 199g. Both phones use an aluminum frame and offer a dual SIM slot, but neither has expandable storage.

Performance and Battery

For performance, the Honor Magic V Flip features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, an older but still high-end processor. Huawei has not officially disclosed the processor details for the Pocket 2, but it is believed to use the Kirin 9000S chip, similar to the one in the Mate 60 Pro.

Both devices offer memory options of 12GB and 16GB RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. The Honor Magic V Flip has a slightly larger 4800mAh battery compared to the Pocket 2’s 4520mAh battery. 

They support 66W fast wired charging. However, the Pocket 2 offers additional features such as 40W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging, which are not available on the Honor Magic V Flip.

Cameras

The camera department is often a key differentiator in smartphones, and these foldable phones are no exception. The Huawei Pocket 2 features a quad rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP telephoto lens, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP spectral lens. The main and telephoto lenses have OIS support, delivering good-quality photos in most lighting conditions.

In contrast, the Honor Magic V Flip has just two rear cameras: a 50MP main camera with OIS and a 12MP ultrawide lens. Front-facing cameras are equally important for selfies and video calls. The Huawei Pocket 2 has a 10.7MP punch-hole selfie camera, while the Honor Magic V Flip has a higher resolution 50MP wide-angle lens.

Software

One of the biggest differences between the two phones is their operating systems. The Huawei Pocket 2 runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS, an alternative operating system developed in-house. 

While HarmonyOS offers a smooth and user-friendly experience, it still lacks native access to popular Google apps and services like the Play Store, YouTube, and Gmail. This can be a deal-breaker for users who rely heavily on these services.

The Honor Magic V Flip, on the other hand, runs on Android 14-based MagicOS 8 with Google Mobile Services (GMS) pre-installed. So users have full access to the Google Play Store and all the apps and services they’re familiar with. It’s an advantage for Honor, especially in markets outside of China where Google services are widely used.

Price and Availability

The Honor Magic V Flip undercuts the Huawei Pocket 2 in terms of price. It starts at CNY 4,999 (~$689) for the base 8GB + 256GB variant, whereas the Huawei Pocket 2 starts at CNY 7,499 (~$1,044) for the base 256GB model. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the pricing:

• Honor Magic V Flip:
  • 8GB + 256GB: CNY 4,999 (~$689)
  • 12GB + 512GB: CNY 5,499 (~$758)
  • 12GB + 1TB: CNY 5,999 (~$827)
  • 16GB + 1TB (Limited Edition): CNY 6,999 (~$965)
• Huawei Pocket 2:
  • 12GB + 256GB: 7,499 Yuan (~ $1,044)
  • 12GB + 512GB: 7,999 Yuan (~ $1,113)
  • 12GB + 1TB: 8,999 Yuan (~ $1,252)

Note that both these devices are currently only available in China. 

Conclusion

The Honor Magic V Flip is a compelling competitor to the Huawei Pocket 2, particularly when considering the significant price difference.

It offers a larger cover display, possibly better performance with the Snapdragon processor, a high-resolution selfie camera, and a slightly larger battery. However, the Huawei Pocket 2 retains some advantages with its telephoto lens and wireless charging capabilities. 

Additionally, users who prefer the Android ecosystem will find the Honor Magic V Flip more appealing, while those who have experience with HarmonyOS or prioritize features like wireless charging might lean towards the Huawei Pocket 2. Ultimately, the choice between these two phones depends on individual priorities and budget.

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Samsung Z Flip 5: Design and colours

Huawei Pocket 2:

The design of this foldable device is premium to the very last bit, with solid materials and an impressive hinge mechanism. With this device, Huawei took the design of its predecessor and found ways to make it even better with a slightly larger cover display and an extra camera. On its right side sits the volume rocker keys and the power button that doubles as the fingerprint sensor.

The charging port sits at the base of the device, on the rear you’ll find two Huawei logos, one on the bottom folding half and the other on the hinge. There are no buttons on the left side of this device, giving it a flush finish. Overall, the materials on this device are very impressive considering its asking price, and it comes with an art version with the Blue Dream colour option.

Samsung Z Flip 5:

The Samsung Z Flip 5 brought a ton of design upgrades from its predecessor. This device features a massive 3.4-inch external cover display, flat edges, and a new hinge mechanism. Just like the Huawei Pocket 2, this device puts all buttons on the right-hand side of the screen.

The power button on this device doubles as a fingerprint sensor for security unlocking. This is also the first Z Flip device from Samsung that folds completely flat thanks to its new hinge mechanism. Colour options on this device are Mint, Graphite, Cream, Lavender, Gray, Blue, Green, Yellow, and they only reflect on the bottom folding half of the device since the top folding half is a big screen.

Major differences:

• The large cover display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 isn’t perfect.
• Impressive design on the Huawei Pocket 2.
• Flat sides on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Samsung Z Flip 5: Display

Huawei Pocket 2:

The Huawei Pocket 2 comes with a massive 6.94-inch LTPO OLED screen panel and a smaller circular 1.15-inch LTPO OLED cover display panel. Users of this device will benefit from the fast 120Hz folding display, which is almost crease-less due to the new hinge mechanism. On the smaller 1.4-inch cover display, users get to play around with various customizable widgets and also get their notifications here. This device also features even bezels around the folding display, which is great for viewing content.

Samsung Z Flip 5:

Being a Samsung device, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with some of the best display technology on the market. The main screen is a 6.7 foldable Dynamic AMOLED panel, and it gives off a maximum brightness of 425ppi. Up front is a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED panel; this cover display is much larger than the one on the Huawei Pocket 2. In terms of screen-to-body ratio, this entry from Samsung features slightly larger bezels than we see in the competition in this article.

Major differences:

• Overall better display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.
• Less display crease on the Pocket 2.
• Larger cover display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Samsung Z Flip 5: Cameras

Huawei Pocket 2:

The cameras on this new foldable device are improved from its predecessor. This device adds an extra rear 2MP autofocus sensor while upgrading the main camera to a 50MP, which is quite impressive. Up front, users get a 10.7MP camera, which is the same as the Huawei Pocket. For better photography, this device comes with the Huawei in-house Xmage photography sensor, which isn’t available on the Huawei Pocket.

Samsung Z Flip 5:

Moving over to the camera department, this device comes with a dual rear camera setup. Both rear cameras on this device, the main sensor and the ultra-wide sensor, are 12MP lenses. Up front, we see a 10MP selfie camera lens which is great for taking selfies, and considering the fact that the cover display on this device is large, the main camera can be used as a selfie camera. Just like with the Huawei Pocket 2 this device supports 4K video recording in both front and rear cameras.

Major differences:

• A 50MP main camera on the Huawei Pocket 2.
• Xmage technology on the Huawei Pocket 2.
• More ease with using the main camera as the selfie camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Samsung Z Flip 5: Performance

Huawei Pocket 2:

At this moment, there is no information on the actual processor in this clamshell folding device. However, we do know that this device features an in-house processor from Huawei. Storage here goes up to 1TB on the 12GB RAM configuration. 

Samsung Z Flip 5:

Samsung makes use of an impressive processor on this device, and it is none other than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Joining this flagship processor is 8GB worth of  RAM capacity as standard. Coming to storage, buyers can pick between a 256GB option or a 512GB option depending on their individual needs.

Major upgrades & differences:

• Up to 1TB storage on the Huawei Pocket 2.

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Samsung Z Flip 5: Software

Huawei Pocket 2

This device runs on Huawei’s Harmony OS out of the box.

Samsung Z Flip 5:

Major differences:

• The option from Huawei runs on the brand’s in-house operating system.
• The option from Samsung runs on Android.

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Huawei Pocket: Battery life and charging

Huawei Pocket 2:

This clamshell folding device comes with a 4520mAh battery capacity which will be able to carry it through the day on a single charge. It also supports 40W fast wired charging and 5W wire and wireless reverse charging. This is an upgrade from the Huawei Pocket that doesn’t offer reversed wireless charging.

Samsung Z Flip 5:

This device comes with a much smaller battery capacity, 3700mAh. It supports 25W fast charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. With this battery capacity, users might get up to a day of basic usage on a single charge.

Major differences: 

• Larger battery capacity on the Huawei Pocket 2.
• Faster charging on the Huawei Pocket 2.
• Wireless charging on the Galaxy Z Flip 5

Huawei Pocket 2 vs Huawei Pocket: Final Verdict

For the global market, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the better buy overall. This has nothing to do with the specifications, as both devices pack impressive specifications and features. Instead, this has to do with the fact that purchasing a Huawei Pocket 2 outside its home base market will be very difficult for most people.

However, in mainland China and other Asian regions, the Huawei Pocket 2 holds well against the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. It comes with a larger battery, more cameras, a more classy design, more memory options, and larger storage as well as a larger screen size. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 however, packs a better display, runs Android, and is a bit cheaper than Huawei’s entry in this article.
