After launching two tablet-style foldables in the recent past, Huawei has now also boarded the clamshell foldable phone bandwagon with the launch of the Huawei P50 Pocket in China today. This smartphone seems all set to take on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, and it brings unique features such as a circular cover display, high refresh rate foldable screen, patented hinge design, and much more.
Starting with the design, the Huawei P50 Pocket is reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Flip 3. One of the key talking points of this foldable is the multi-dimensional hinge, which helps achieve the seamless flat-holding and crease-less design. It has a shorter radius and is said to be more durable than its predecessors. The device is around 15mm in thickness when folded and only 7.2mm thick when unfolded. It weighs 190 grams, which is pretty decent for a foldable phone.
It features a 6.9-inch Full-HD+ foldable AMOLED display with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 2790 x 1188p resolution. The foldable inner panel also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR support. There’s a centered punch-hole selfie camera onboard here as well.
Moving to the circular triple camera ring, the device includes a 40MP True-Chroma primary camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP Ultra-Spectrum camera with a 120-degree FOV. The cameras on Huawei phones have been a key differentiating factor and the P50 Pocket seems no different. There are a ton of new camera technologies and features in tow here.
The Huawei P50 Pocket is priced at CNY 8,988 (~Rs 1,05,999) for the single 8GB + 256GB variant. However, if you have a liking for blingy things, you can pick up the gold-colored Art customized version of the foldable. This special edition variant will retail at CNY 10,988 (~Rs 129,799) in China. You get 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage with this variant.
