Huawei arrives with a new folding to accompany its Huawei Mate X range which takes the opportunity to set foot in another division of foldable phones, those that mimic classic flip phones. Thus, if the Mate X was the competitor of the Samsung Fold, the new Huawei P50 Pocket it becomes in direct competition with the Galaxy Z Flip or the Motorola Razr. But also, Huawei imprints its DNA both in the processor and in the operating system.
In terms of design, we clearly have a family phone from the Huawei P50, with the rear cameras integrated into large circular areas protected by a single glass. Although in this case one of the circles is an external screen, visible mobile folded and also touch. Great for checking notifications and of course taking selfies because here we have a way to preview what we are photographing. And to shoot from the external screen itself. Let’s see what else he has for us.

For the exterior screen we have a 1.04 inch circular OLED touchscreen (60 Hz, 120 Hz) which allows you to view notifications, preview selfies and other uses thanks to HarmonyOS 2.0 with which this Huawei P50 Pocket is vitaminized.
The processor chosen is the Snapdragon 888 4G clocked at 2.84 GHz, a chip that not only provides 4G connectivity but also allows the battery to Phone charge from 4000mAh to 40W max..

We also have an NMCard tray which supports up to an additional 256GB.
We arrived at the cameras and there we have the great surprise of the presentation, the presence of a camera that Huawei calls Hyperspectral and that, according to them, “adds new hyperspectral imaging technology to XD Fusion Pro to discover subtle details beyond visible light. Clearer and more precise image restoration capabilities and stronger environmental perception create a more realistic atmosphere.“This camera, with ‘fluorescent photography’, also has a macro focus at 2.5 centimeters, is 32 megapixels and has an f / 1.8 lens.
We also have 40 megapixels f / 1.8 for the main camera and 13 mega-pixel f / 2.2 for a super wide-angle camera, thus shutting down the equipment of the external camera. And inside, in a hole in the screen itself, we have 10.7 megapixels with an f / 2.2 lens for more traditional video conferences and selfies. And all of this will be enhanced by the software included in HarmonyOS 2.0 that powers the phone.
We end with the connectivity section indicating that the phone has dual SIM with 4G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 LE, GPS and USB type C 2.0. Unfolded, it has a length of 170 millimeters which remains at 87.3 millimeters when we close it, although the thickness then increases to 15.2 millimeters. And the weight of the phone is 190 grams. Huawei’s great design exercise with this P50 Pocket.
