Here’s everything you wanted to know about Huawei’s first flip phone, the Huawei P50 Pocket.
Huawei today launched the P50 Pocket, its newest foldable smartphone, a week after its first appearance in a leaked image. The device is Huawei’s third foldable smartphone after two Mate X models, but is the first one to boast a clamshell design. Although it ostensibly competes against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Moto Razr, the trade ban on Huawei ensures that these devices may never be sold alongside each other in the West.
The Huawei P50 Pocket is significantly pricier than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, which starts at $999 in the U.S. The Huawei P50 Pocket weighs 190 grams and is just 7.2mm thick, making it even thinner than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Huawei also debuts a new hinge design with the P50 Pocket that it says has improved upon existing offerings in the market and leaves no gap between the screens when folded.
Hardware and software With Huawei not in a position to make its own Kirin processors in the wake of the ongoing trade restrictions, the company had no option but to equip the P50 Pocket with the Snapdragon 888 chip from Qualcomm. Unfortunately, the restrictions also mean that this premium 2021 smartphone does not offer 5G support. In fact, the official spec sheet of the phone refers to this edition of the 888 as the Snapdragon 888 4G.
On the software front, the phone runs Harmony OS 2.0 — although the official spec sheet still has references to EMUI 12. Huwaei claims to have built in a lot of privacy-centric features on the P50 Pocket, including a super privacy mode that turns off the microphone, camera, and GPS when activated.
