Samsung is on the rise with its folding smartphones. But Huawei does not intend to let the train pass. After the “Mate X” range which is positioned opposite the Galaxy Z-Fold, here is the Huawei P50 Pocket which intends to overshadow the excellent Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Resolutely high-end, the Huawei P50 Pocket features a Snapdragon 888 processor which, like its big brother the Huawei P50 Pro, unfortunately skips 5G and will do without Google services. Absences which are explained, always, by the restrictions imposed on Huawei by the American government. The phone is also equipped with 8 or 12 GB of RAM depending on the configuration.

On a folding smartphone, size matters! Huawei is therefore proud to announce that it has worked on the hinge of its P50 Pocket Pro so that it is perfectly flat and thinner than its competitor when folded: 15.2 mm thick compared to 15.9 to 17.1 mm. on the Z Fold 3. For other dimensions, the Korean giant’s phone remains more compact.
Small battery and big selfies
The Huawei P50 Pocket may be compact when folded, but it will still need to power its large 21:9 OLED screen which is still 6.9 inches, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. concern about this when we saw that the battery was only 4000 mAh. But let’s not sell the skin of the bear, Huawei having always been a good student on autonomy.
As you can imagine, the photo is not left out. The Huawei P50 Pocket is equipped with three photo sensors, different from those of the P50 Pro. Thus, there is a wide-angle of 40 megapixels (f / 1.8), an ultra-wide-angle of 13 megapixels (f / 2.2) and a third “ultra-spectrum” sensor of 40 megapixels. The latter will improve the rendering of night shots, take photos in macro mode or even improve the stabilization of videos.
